As I tend to work in male dominated environments, swearing is just one of those things, but this is a word I hear more amongst family and friends than the guys I've worked with. Me finks Mister Valance has answered why - Me colleagues treat me like a lady :o)JJ Cockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685803043085433221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829491120334487104.post-67014344126455808632011-04-05T21:27:19.901+01:002011-04-05T21:27:19.901+01:00Although I follow your reasoning for a strong disl...Although I follow your reasoning for a strong dislike of this particular word, personally it doesn't bother me more than other swear words. I suppose it might depend on the circumstances, but usually it seems the person has just used the rudest word they can think of without giving any thought as to its meaning.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829491120334487104.post-82592001193014250822011-04-03T00:09:33.400+01:002011-04-03T00:09:33.400+01:00Eloquently said, JJ.

Bound by the same code of respect, I share your view, though it has to be said that it isn’t unique to, or typical, of our (poetic licence) generation. After all, the word – in all its uses – has been around for hundreds of years. I daresay the word was used just as vulgarly in Nelson’s day. The difference, I suspect, is that the self-respecting male of yesteryear would never use the term in the company of a lady.<br /><br />Working in a male environment for forty years, I’ve long since lost any claim to sainthood. Industrial language is rife, no hold barred. But that’s the way it’s always been. The man that doesn’t swear in the workplace is rare, but in most cases the man in the workplace is only being the man he has to be. In times past, nobody took that language home with them. The majority, I’m sure, still don’t. Sadly, the minority could be getting bigger.<br /><br />Hypocritical? Maybe. I wouldn’t dream of using the word in female company, but if the boss gets on the wrong side of me next week I can’t see myself marching into the locker room and denouncing him as a channel to human creation where innocent new life emerges to take its first breath. Somehow it doesn’t have the same punch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829491120334487104.post-37197295989540667432011-04-02T23:13:24.096+01:002011-04-02T23:13:24.096+01:00Wow Miss JJ, I am not sure what I expected but I d...Wow Miss JJ, I am not sure what I expected but I don't think it was that. Interesting thoughts on it. I don't care for the word myself, but having thought of it in such derogatory terms I can't say I didn't think it applied to a person or to in my time.<br /><br />That being said your idea on the word gives me pause. Thank you for teaching me something!Apeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893663535659741088noreply@blogger.com
