I see it being used everywhere these days. I'm old so I remember a time when it wasn't used in such an open fashion and chances were, only men were using it. Today, I see even gramma's using it.
Did you ever get in trouble for cussing?

It wasn't until I was around 50 before I swore in front of my parents, and even then I regretted it.

One of our phone rep trainees used the word fuck a few days ago. I was like I don't mind you using that word but you will get in trouble saying fuck while on the phone.
I wish I was on the phone. We are allowed to hang up on the customer if they swear.

My formative years were spent hanging out with a bunch of Tier One Spec Warriors; I have heard the term used. I was told once, it was the most versatile word in the English language; it can be used as a noun, verb, adjective or adverb.

I agree with that whole heartedly. *nods*
It can be used as a verb & a noun at the same time, you fucking fucker. See? hehehe

I would shit if a telephone rep used the word fuck with me.

No, I'm very proper and polite in company I'm not familiar with. I was always taught to mind your manners which I always taught my kids. There is a time and place for everything. At home we curse like sailors including Jayne. My kids know there is a time and place for everything and how to behave in public.

Vulgarity is the norm these days, which is why I despise pop culture, in which everything is about marketing to the masses.

It's where parents go wrong imo. Say the word shit and you get your ass beat which is nonsense. What you need to be teaching is how to behave in polite company. Teach your children how to behave Ike adults, not idiot children.

Same here, I mean except that I'm not 50 yet, but I never swore in front of my mom.
I have a friend who the mother and daughter say the words back and forth all the time and it is always shocking when I am around them. I mean I don't care, but its just not how I talk around my mom or any older reltatives.
I have one boss who swears quite often and one who doesn't.

I find that odd. My kids have never once gotten in trouble at school, literally not once all throughout school while all of their friends are getting referrals. We're all introverts who are intelligent and know how to not act like fucking morons I guess. Jayne can say goddamn at home, but she knows not to say it in public. We all just act normal, we're not bullies or dumbasses... I don't know what the hell is wrong with everyone else.

Jayne gets bullied because she's an introvert like me, but she's really pretty. I'm not saying that just because she's my daughter, she's really pretty, not your average kid. Like beautiful with long blonde hair , big blue eyes and full lips. But she doesn't have a popular personality and she's offstandish just like me. Anyway, life is too short to have a bunch of asshole kids fucking with you in school which is why I'm doing the homeschooling.

And it's not like I want to keep her from the reality of life, but did any of the assholes you went to school with really do you any good other than if you fucked them? I have one friend from school, that's it.

I saw it said that the word fuck is so versatile that it is the Swiss army knife of cuss words.
