It was, I believe, Kenneth Tynan ( SP ? ) who first used the F word.. About the mid 60's on the BBC late night show 'BBC-3'
Seem to remember it was Bernard Levin on' That Was The Week That Was.'

In real life I quite often use all sorts of naughty words. F's, B's, S's and more, especially with old friends and never in front of children or people I don't know well....

Just take a walk along a busy high street and you'll hear the F word used by children, young teenage girls and women which was never the case not too long ago.
Really and honestly? Just by walking down a high street you would hear F's being thrown about even by young children?

...their arms (and other bodily parts) adorned in bad-taste tattoos, though some of them at least, manage to get the spelling right!

It's a sad picture but spot on.
I wonder about people or all ages with ears full of something claiming to be music, would they recognise a bird singing ?

Just looked this up...

and thought I would also look up the origin of that horrible word that was originally used that offended the OP...
[FONT="]piss (v.) [/FONT][FONT="]late 13c., from[HI] Old French pissier [/HI]"urinate" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *pissiare, of imitative origin. To piss away (money, etc.) is from 1948. Related: Pissed; pissing. Pissing while (1550s) once meant "a short time." [/FONT][FONT="]He shall not piss my money against the wall; he shall not have my money to spend in liquor. ["Dictionary of Buckish Slang, University Wit and Pickpocket Eloquence," London, 1811] [/FONT][FONT="]piss (n.)[/FONT][FONT="]late 14c., from piss (v.). As a pure intensifier (piss-poor, piss-ugly, etc.) it dates from World War II. Piss and vinegar first attested 1942. Piss-prophet "one who diagnosed diseases by inspection of urine" is attested from 1620s. Piss proud "erect upon awakening" is attested from 1796.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have no real problems with language as I accept that each generation makes it their own. The "F" word no longer has the same meaning to the younger generation but of course the older generations still hold it as disgusting etc.

Who remembers that brilliant programme on the BBC called Clochmerle ( I think ) about a French village that had a pissoir in it ?..

Hey Bro, it depends which bird is singing innit. I always recognise Lady Gaga, know wot I am saying.
I was taught that using foul language shows a lack of intelligence.

Well, what a response, I see one of the justified excuses for the swearing, is that you hear it all the time out side school gates town centres,ect, sadly you do, I hear young parents talking to their young children with language that makes me cringe, sadly, these children are growing up with these swear words as part of their family vocabulary, and their the ones who will be outside the school gates in 10 or so years time using the very same language, so were not setting a very good example are we .one of the main joys of my motorhoming is that for a few days or so we can get away from all that some of the replies contain quite explicit words, which I still maintain don't belong in a "family" orientated forum, which makes me feel more justified in starting this thread. . yokel john.
and how does that tie in with the traditional rugby songs ?By the tone that this thread has taken I fear that the OP may be in a minority. But it's not a minority of one as I would join him....
Unfortunately, it is a sign of our modern times that people seem to think it's ok to use whatever language or terminology they want to - even when responding to people they don't know.
There was an item on the news this morning about people spitting in the street or other public places and how some councils are treating it as an offence and imposing fixed penalty fines. In my view if those who do it had been properly brought up by their parents to respect others and their environment we wouldn't have the problem in the first place.
Time was that at rugby union games, if anyone used foul language in front of a female - or even some men for that matter, they would be "suitably advised" by those around them. Even here this is dying out and the morons are winning.
So, to the OP, I'm with you! :thumb:
