This week’s topic is sure to tickle your ears. I admit it, I have a terrible potty mouth. I think it sounds uncouth and unladylike, and I really have to try to keep my lips buttoned up at work to avoid getting in trouble. (And, you know, setting a good example and all that jazz. Harrumph.)
The word that probably comes out of my mouth the most is “Scheiße”. Hey, if I have to be discreet, why not swear in German? Besides, it just rolls off the tongue in such a satisfying way. Otherwise, I’m kind of limited to exclaiming, “Son of a Triscuit!” when things don’t go well, and that just doesn’t have the same “zing” factor.
Since my mom reads this blog (hi mom!) I’ll keep the zipper shut on some of my nastier epithets. In closing I’ll just admit that I also drop the F-bomb way more than is socially acceptable. Like, way, way effing more.
What are your favorite swear words? If you’re not too shy to admit them, link up with Em, Lin and Katrin for this week’s topic and dish on your most unpardonable language!

The F-bomb falls from my lips way too often. I also tend to yell God d@m!t when I get super frustrated…I’m trying to work on my potty mouth. I use Rattlesnakes! And oh drag to try and keep it clean :)

I’m trying really hard to work on it–I hate to sound like a brat. :P
Katrin
I love that you swear in German! I think German is the best swearing language! :)
Thanks for always linking up! You rock!
Martha Woods
It sure comes in handy! :D

I could totally use of those swear words in another language…right now I am relegated to “crackers” when my kids are around, and it is not very satisfying!-Ashley

I imagine not!

I’ve got quite the potty mouth, too! Fortunately, my coworkers do too so at work we can let loose. :P

Mine gets bad when I’m stressed. So I should probably do something about that :P

I’m not a swearer. I do say son of a biscuit and oh barnacles which I stole from Spongebob Squarepants!
Martha Woods
Oh barnacles…I like that one! :)

LOL I have to say, I have the worst mouth ever. But my fave not-so-swear word but modified by arguably the worst swear word ever is the “see you next Tuesday” phrase from SATC.
Martha Woods
LOL that’s a good one!

I don’t swear all the time but my favorite is dammit, lol, it’s probably the one I use most.
Martha Woods
I use that one a lot too :)
