Everyone says they understand what Delt Alum is saying, but I don't think you really do-Heck I could be reading it wrong...
When I was in college(F-so EASY to pick up) and until the time I married the "F" word was a part of my everyday vocabulary. It
felt very liberating to say "OH F-" "F-Off" "F-You" I felt like it was part of my freedom. When I got married the F word would pepper my conversation, but I noticed it wasn't like it used to be
There would be the polite laugh and perhaps a few others that used the word, but I really began to feel uncomfortable-it DID slip out at the wrong moments and when you are in "polite" company, it can have a real negative affect on more thn just the gathering. The men started talking about one of the wives in particular who could get really creative. The more she spoke that way, the more she turned people off. She became looked upon as cheap and vulagar. Vulgar is a word you NEVER want used to describe you in the "social" world...it is a killer. Most of us killed the "F" word at the point of that realization. Then comes KIDS---
nothing too hard to understand there.
So-I think it's rather "natural" for young adults to freely use the "F" word. I also know that it is SOOOOO hard a habit to break.
It WILL slip out, even when you are on your toes. It WILL brand you if you are in a generational mix---it can also HARM you socially and business wise. When you are in an social situation, the really impressive thing to do is say "F-U" in a way that no one but the receiver is offended. It's calldTHE VELVET GLOVE!
