if i need to say a curse word in front of my parents, i will. After all, isnt that one of the perks about being an adult.
BTW, I am an old adult, and I think at this point my parents could care less.
my sons are not big cursers either, amazing as that may be, but we really werent a big F bomb type of family...
maybe in anger, not everyday descriptive.
So I guess having respect for the elderly just goes out the window because your an adult.
If my mother were to ask me to not curse, I'd do it because I have respect for her, being an adult has nothing to do with it.

Hello. My mother does not use the "f" word and never has. I will not speak that way in front of her. She's 84 years old and comes from an era when that language wasn't thrown around the way we do now (and I do use those words with my friends).
As you said, respect doesn't end because yulk yulk look-at-me, I'm a big adult now. I also expect my 21-year-old daughter to not curse in front of Grandma, and she does not. I also have reprimanded my adult niece for using the "f" word in front of her grandmother. She should know better, but my brother is dead so I don't mind stepping in to remind her to grow up and have some respect.

it means you are an adult and you are free to choose the words you want. I get you, i wouldnt want my children cursing in front of granny either. But from time to time it happens. Cursing is only words.
I have a BIL that hates cursing, and that's fine. But do you know how annoying it gets when there are a bunch of adults having a conversation and you have to constantly watch yourself that you don't say a curse word in front of him??, Well I find it freaking annoying. Again, I am not a big curser, but sometimes the word fits, and No, as an adult I don't want to have to watch my mouth, and as an adult, I shouldn't have to.
I don't believe there are such things as "bad" words (or good ones)--every word has its usefulness at one time or another. But people who casually curse every other sentence just sound trashy, like they have a poor vocabulary and don't know how else to express themselves.

people curse, get over it.
^^^Sorry, but I still would not curse in front of my mother or any other elderly person I know who has mostly lived in an age when such language was considered rude and sneer at them to get over it. If you did it, I wouldn't say anything to you, but I'd think you were low class for your lack of respect to the elderly. Yes, I know you don't care what anyone thinks, you made that plain. But, I'd still think it!

I have also stated that I am not a big curser, but from time to time it does come out, I would say mainly in anger.
But if I was having a conversation with your mother or grandmother, you would have nothing to worry about, there obviously would be no need for the f-bomb to be blurted out, thus we could have a pleaseant conversation.
BTW, I know a lot of elderly church going ladies in my neighborhood, that could make a sailor blush.... just sayin.
and i do agree with you, cursing is low class, especially when it is used in every sentence, un necessarily.
There's "cursing" and there's "cursing". Hell, damn, pissed off, crap, b.i.t.c.h, fart, etc were once considered terrible curse words but now are in regular vernacular all over society as well as TV. I have a 31 yo son who drops the F bomb as easy as any word in his vocabulary. We still have young children at home and I have to remind him to clean up his mouth every time he comes home for a visit. it is so second nature to him he doesn't even realize he uses the word as much as he does, especially if he is really ranting about something. Still I don't allow it even though there are time I wish I could. So far I've refrained but after you hear a word so frequently you start to think it is just a regular word like all the words i first mentioned.
I think it's funny that b.i.t.c.h which is a proper word can't be typed on CD.

Ah, I do curse myself. I have one particular favorite multi-syllablic work that starts with a "c" that I say all the time when I drop things or when inanimate objects turn against me and do things that make me angry. As a matter of fact, in a few minutes I am going to go outside and put license plates on my car, which I've never had to do before, and since I have limited tools and am hoping I can do it with what I have, I am sure I will be using that word today.
