A girl walked past me yesterday & said " Oh Flipping heck" I wanted to hug her!
Swearing in general isn't something that bothers me all that much, if I'm on the corridor with them I'll ask them if they think its appropriate, I remember just how much I enjoyed using (and still do) b@!*cks if I dropped something, slipped etc. CU next Tuesday is one of my most usedwhen at home.
This however is unacceptable, using the language is one thing, directing it to someone, especially a member of staff, is another.
My step daughter uses the same, although she became slightly unstuck when she once explained that "she didn't really mean "fudge", she meant "f*ck!".... there was a short silence, followed by her apologising profusely when her brain caught up with her mouth.
It doesn't bother us that the kids swear to themselves, in the playground etc.
It's the screaming it at top of their voices in corridor & classrooms & at staff. The noise has to be heard to be believed sometimes.
Glad it's not me beig old fogey, some of the younger staff are fed up with it too.
Surely we all have to learn there's a time & a place for any language, similarly when they talk "street" to teachers who can't understand a word they are saying!
CU Next Tuesday literally makes me shudder, one of my colleagues used it the other day & couldn't stop laughing at my face!
My mum rarely swore, she did shout, " Rowlocks" to a lorry driver once that had us in fits.
My usual go to "swear" word is "Sugarations". I remember driving once with my Mother as a passenger. I made a mistake and said "sh1t" without thinking, and got very much told off for it. I was well into my 20s at the time My kids are pretty good, they rarely swear in front of me, despite the fact that my husband's language can be pretty blue at times, so I must've done something right with them.

One of the Science teachers spotted me kicking & shouting at mine.
Malicious little Bar Steward.
The car not the teacher.
I was working in a girls school years ago, and mine was running badly. I had the bonnet up, poking the HT leads with the engine running on 3.
#4 had an insulation failure. It earthed through me, all 12kv.
Cue "AARGH! You F&**(&(&*!!"

The one time I heard my grandfather swear he was driving from Sutton to Croydon in the rush hour for some school event I was in.

"Here you go, enjoy?"
GOOD GOD! That is awful!

The first three words are right
I swear like a sailor, however its situation dependent. Its not ok to shout a swear word down the corridor, it is ok to mutter that some piece of equipment is being a little c*** when it wont do whats its supposed to. My (teenage) kids don't swear and tell me off if a mild swear words creeps out (no Fs or Cs around them). i guess everyone has their limits as to what is acceptable.
We have a whole merchandiser doing CU in the NT stuff. NT = Northern Territory (where I live). Their stickers and t shirts read CU(in the)NT. Clever but definitely not for me!
Ha, City University of Newcastle upon Tyne is now Northumbria University
