   There really is something so genteel about not swearing these days. Even at work, people will say everything but the fun ones, intersperse “FUCK!” 4 times in every sentence, and nobody bats an eye.

   I feel like a nobleman when I keep ratcheting my alt-swears in the opposite direction to be even MORE kid friendly.

   “That motherfucker wanted twenty fuckin grand just to look at it can u believ that? I said fuck that shit, I’ll do that shit myself, asshole”

   “what the heck, man. That freakin’ sucks.”

     Whenever I say “heck”, “pee”, or “sh-stuff”, it’s like a subtle snub to the dead, withered branches of low-class hedonists who solely live for themselves.

     It’s a subtle signal that my family is thriving, that we have future generations under our roof and we must model correct behavior for them. It means we have the discipline to look beyond ourselves.

     (I DO say “NIGGER” a lot though, that’s cool, chic rebellion though)

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I've taken to saying "holy crap, Lois" but I'm not sure that's quite what you're going for

     @nierenstein As a young kid my dad used to push me to reference pop culture goyslop less. He always wanted more old, classic stuff outside my lifetime. Never really got why until now.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot My attempt to get my friend group to stop using pop culture references all the time got turned into a reference itself

     @kuon Kids have to work their way up in here. They unlock more crass language as they age. Pee IS juvenile, that’s the whole point of using it. “Piss” is something the 13 yo boys can say

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I think "pee" is a bit TOO juvenile, though. If you can't say "piss" (an underused and relatively less vulgar swear, anyways), use "urine" or obfuscate which specfic bodily function you mean as "rest/bathroom". Even "number 1" is better.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot a, you're way older than 13, and b, they could also say literally any other child-safe word for urine, including "urine".
     
     Would you rather hear "I need to go to the restroom" or "I need to pee" from a 30-something? Or from a kid, for that matter?

     @kuon That’s the idea though. The more crass and gross those around me are, the better it feels to be squeaky-clean like I’m hanging out with my 5 yo neice

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @kuon There’s something about being allowed to lower yourself, but keeping yourself at a higher standard.

     I don’t enjoy cursing and I want to improve my diction, who cares that everyone around me is being brain drained, not me or my loved ones.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I've reached a point where I'm genuinely ashamed of myself every time I swear, just feels like a lame and childish move

     @kuon That’s too out of character for us. We’re moneyed, but not FROM money. Going that respectable sounds ostentatious to me still, my base coding just won’t yield. I can do it if I’m in uniform, but when I’m playing myself it just feels wrong.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot It's not squeaky clean, though. It's still crass, just slightly less vulgar. It would be clean to refer to it indirectly or clinically, not directly, in a childish way.
     
     You feel better because you're being "quirky", not beacuse you're being clean.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot it's funny, i don't swear at all outside my house. it's not even something i consciously decide to do. online and in my home though is way different. i don't give a fuck.
