Yeah, I Cuss, So What....

I make no bones about it. I cuss...a lot.  Some people drink, some do drugs, some beat their kids/spouses, some steal, some kill.  Me? I cuss!  You have your release & I have mine.

It's not something I brag about, but it is something I do.  It's merely a habit I picked up from my mother & uncle (y'all just don't know). 

Where I come from cussing could be endearing, humorous, comical and/or hurtful, depending on what was being said & who was saying it. 

My mother is the perfect example - my son was her 1st grandchild & she adored, protected and even lied for that child.  When he'd irk her nerves, she say, "Boy! I'mma beat the dogsled shit outta you!"  He would laugh so hard he'd cry & she never laid a hand on him.  Most times she ended up laughing with him.  However, when that same line was given to my sister in a different situation, for her, it was no laughing matter.

I grew up in two homes - sometimes I was with my mother & other times I was with Muda & Papa.  I think "shit" might have been the worse thing I ever heard either of my grandparents say.  My mother was a different story.  She was never in the military but I'd bet my next paycheck should could make a sailor curl up in the fetal position & cry.

Before you get bent all outta shape (as if I would even care), I understand there is a time and place for everything.  I never purposely cussed in front of my mother or grandmother or any other elder for that matter.  I slipped a few times & apologized.  My granny just rolled her eyes & said "You get that mess from your mother."  My mother replied with, "Hell, you're grown."  I'm pretty sure she said that because she knows I picked up the habit from her.

One of my ex-boyfriends would say, "Such ugly words from such a pretty girl." Yeah dude, whateva.

Out here in cyberworld, I would never intentionally offend some one on their personal pages, blogs, etc., with my choice words, if I know they find it offensive.  However, on this here page, I will say what the hell I want, when the hell I want and how the hell I want. 

If you find what I say & how I say it offensive, feel free to remove me from your contacts.  On the same token, if what & how I express myself offends you, don't bother to add me as a contact. Trust & believe my feelings won't be hurt.

The image above is for visual effects only.  I have NO intention on ever reading it!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!

  1. I used to cuss a whooooole lot more before I had the boy. I try to curb it because I don't want him to grow up and cuss me out. LOL But I remember way back when, my friends and I were at some party and this random dude told us we were cussing too much. That is where our inside phrase of "if it offends you, f*ck you" came about. You are welcome to use that anytime you like. LOL

  2. Twin, even tho I cuss a lot, I would never cuss my elders out like I have to do these ninjas sometimes. My son slipped & said "shit" in front of me last year. He quickly ducked & profusely apologized, "MA!!!! I'm sorry!! It slipped." I just told him it better not happen again....although I'm sure it will.

  4. Well, hon, I ain't mad at you in the least. It's funny..the other day at a family gathering, a long lost cousin thrice removed was carrying on a convo w/me and some other peeps. They started getting flip about the lip, and let some expletives fly. My "cousin" admonished the others not to cuss around me because they "know I don't talk like that." I coolly replied, "well, that's certainly news to me!"

    I guess cuz my moms a preacher and I got a slew of saved folk in my immediate family, folks believe that I've never heard choice words spoken in my presence. I had to remind them my mom ain't been saved her whole life, and nor have I. And just cuz I profess Jesus don't mean I can't string a few cuss words together forth. It all depends on my mood. I don't talk like a sailor daily, but Lord, when folks get my dander up, suddenly I start sounding like a Quentin Tarantino movie. LMBO!

  5. LOL Now, that only happens when I am really really really pissed off. I figure it's better to let the cuss words fly instead of hitting someone with a brick. Oddly enough, I'll cuss but I won't cuss anyone out. I'll cuss in general but in an altercation I resort to intelligent degradation. That's my steez.

  7. Gurl, I cuss, especially when I am pissed. I am trying to curb that habit and most especially try not to cuss in front of MiniMe, so my blogs will usually become the brunt of my frustration. I won't cuss intentionally in front of my elders, but if I do slip up, I apologize profusely. But if I am mad, I too will cuss a sailor into the fetal position.

  9. I use to cuss/curse like there was no tomorrow and if I had something to say those were my last words. Now I don't cuss/curse at all and although I would like to and have even thought of some catchy but evil curse phrases I choose to the latter and just keep it moving right along. Sometimes i can find something clever to say that doesnt include curse words but had it would send someone to tears in a second. But I dont mind or even bash folks that do because most of my family curses and what's a game of dominoes or spades with out a MF;er u reniged lol and so and so. giggles

  10. I am alot better then I use to be with my mouth, but I will admit, I do still slip at times. However, if someone gets out of hand with the potty mouth,I have no problem saying something to them about it. I can't wait to meet you so that I can yell out "HEY! WATCH YOUR MOUTH! ALL THAT AIN'T NECESSARY!!" roflmao

  11. Welcome to the cussing club. I'm not sure where I got my "habit" from because my parents rarely curse. It's a release for me just as you stated above. Everybody has a release or something they do that they are not proud of.

  15. I don't know WHERE I got it from. My grandfather worked in a coal mine for 40 years but never cursed in front of the family. My grandmother was far too ladylike. Me? I've been cursing like a drunken truck driving Marine since I was ten and it's not for a lack of vocabulary. I dont do it in front of my grandparents or other elders but maaaaaaannn.. WHEW.. on a bad day I'll take the damn paint off the wall.

    *shruggin*

  17. Whew gurl its funny that you posted this. Cause I posted a blog about Cursing 4 days ago and deleted it.

    I curse. And Lord knows I want to stop. I always stop and say Lord, why do I do this sooooooo much? It just flies out my mouth. As soon as something happen, I dont even think, it just comes out.

    I need help Im telling you. I try not to curse on my blog, or our CCSC group, because I want to try to stop doing it.

  24. In face to face altercations instead of cussing one out, I have always had the ability to string together a line of rather big intelligent yet degrading insults that I have been told cut like a knife. I have on a few occasions brought about tears. Not my best side but it has been necessary sometime. I haven't had to do that in a while though. Not since earlier last year when I got into a shouting match with a gas station attendant. My son was standing there and there was a crowd of people. So I didn't want to embarrass myself or my child by cussing her flat out.

  25. Nothing better than to get WEBSTERS on somebody! LMBOOOO, I am bad about that at work with my superiors and get in trouble THE NEXT DAY after they have had a chance to go home and consult a dictionary.

    ReplyDelete
  26. EXACTLY! LMAO That happened to me last year when I had a particularly stupid boss. I would say stuff to her I knew she didn't quite understand but she knew somehow it was an insult. She tried her best to do me in.

  27. i AGREE BLKBTRFLYY

    Ms. Mo I told God look. I dont want to cuss and go off, cause I can get colorful. So now I try to use more facial expression * oooooooooo baby you dont want to see one of these* and I use words to make you THINK. but my friends say they make people feel bold. I said its either that or cussing, and I DONT CURSE PEOPLE OUT.

    For example:

    You know I work for Walmart and thats where Im tried most of the time. When people and all their different spirits and ingnorance gather in front of my face for a brief moment and they * act dumb* I would say something like this.

    Say for intance they write a check and dont have their ID. I would say *maam I need to see your license or State ID please*. They would say......................... well at the other Walmart they didnt ask for ID. Which pisses me off to no limit *telling me with a nother MO do* thats strike one right there.
    I would say................... looking them right in the eyes with a Micheal Meyers stare, and say:
    Maam at *THIS* Walmart that you DROVE TO today.................. we ask for ID.

    Gurl BYE! its ways to getting around cursing. LOLLLLLLLLLLLL And if they go and tell, what they gone tell my manager????????????????????????????????

    LOL THAT SHE SAID TO ME................. AT THIS WALMART WE CHECK ID'S??????????? LOL
    BEEN IN THE BUSINESS TOO MANY DAYS! LOL

  28. My name is D-Wizzle and I cuss!!! FUCK ALL Y'ALL MUTHAFUCKAS WHO DON'T LIKE IT!!!


    and I say the same shit for those who don't like YOU doing it. Tell em' to go blow...and I don't mean on a cherry flavored lollipop. I mean on some Tube steak that shoots the special gravy.

    My family is cussin' conisuers!! We have a talent for making up our OWN cuss words. to tell you the truth, it's actually funny, especially hearing the Elders Cuss..and to think we supposed to be SAVED. LOL. God be lookin' down on us like "What did I create?".

  29. You cuss? I'm glad I don't *artfully dodging the 5 lightning strikes*

    I got my cussing from my dad and I do cuss around him, but never at him. It's our strange family tradition. I think he would love nothing more than for me to cuss his sisters out (any or all of them). It's not happening though. There is a time and a place for cussing and I can cuss someone out vulgarly or educationally, like I do at work. By the time some of those folks look up some of what I say, it's too late for them to retaliate.

    I try not to cuss around folks who don't, but I don't apologize for my potty mouth.

    *reading the line about tube steak* But obviously not as potty mouthed at D-Wizzle! ew lol

  33. *steps to the poduim and picks up mike*

    Hello I'm TNP and I cuss like a sailor. Hell I probably cuss worse then a sailor!!! ROFL. I do not cuss in front of my co-workers, my mom or my niece. I cuss in front of my sister, friends, and if a man gets on my bad side he gonna get a tongue lashing and that's NOT in a good way!!! I cuss behind the wheel of my car (ATL driving!!!), when I'm pissed, and when I'm in a conversation words slip out with certain friends.

    Anyone who says it's unladylike to cuss.

    Fuck 'em!!!

    ROFL

  37. For me, that's where the "do as I say, not as I do" comes in. Old school? Yes, but it worked for me until I was grown.
