This site is utilised by all age ranges and both sexes. (How un PC of me, only two).
Consequently we apply a little test. 'Would viewing this embarrass my family?' If the answer is yes then it is deemed offensive.
It may be old fashioned, but we are that way. Many of us older types are former SNCOs with the Royal Marines, we can swear for Queen and Country, plus a few other friends; however generally we choose not to unless there is some beneficial salving influence from having a good old rant, then the system weeds out the wee sweary words.
I do not like the ease with which a teenager tells his mate to F**k off in my hearing, if my wife is nearby I always tell the idiot concerned to mind his mouth. Nowadays the girls are as bad if not worse.
As they say, "Never buy a stupid Dwarf, it ain't big, and it ain't clever!"

You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.

Good points made but I would think most are over 16 here and I'm pretty sure that teenagers swear more to cause offensce but within the base its just normal.
I can't see myself goin on basic training and being told
" Sapper Scott quit lying down and get you ass up "
Im expecting
" Boy, get you Fc***ng ar** up now before I drag you up "
I dint know who decided what swearing is as the subject totally baffles me, but owellz

I very much doubt you will here many of the training team shout down like that at recruit's." Boy, get you Fc***ng ar** up now before I drag you up "
Training teams are taught that swearing blindly in every sentance tends to make you seem less intelligent and find the indavidual not getting any form of respect from those being trained.
It is now also considered bullying within British forces, and is frowned upon.
It is far better to come out with some cutting comment that sounds far more inteligent, is often funny to his oppo's who use it for comedy value in bonding. And gains far more respect.
If you want an example, watch Bad Lads Army. See how many times the training team use swear words in an offensive manner (not you look like a bag of shite, but more you are an F......ing C....T).
While training teams may use swear words, it is really in a directly offensive manner.
Chaos, Disorder, Destruction.....My work here is done!

:grab:Swearing at people who have made a cock up is demotivating.
I had a boss who called me in for a bollocking after I'd scattered 3000 sheep in Glen Clova by flying over them at very few feet.
He simply said, straight faced "Sgt Parry, take a bollocking" Salute, "Yes Sir, thank you." I felt an inch high and appreciated his style.
I've always found that it's better to drag a recalcitrant doomer aside, say quietly what he is doing wrong, point him in the right direction, then tell him to rejoin the rest of the troop. Works well for me.

Further to Sgt.Parry's last.
I had my first come uppance as a young lad.
At ten years old I figured I had"Swallowed the Anchor"
I could tie a bowline behind my back,I'd sailed with the fishing fleet,
"Boots an all"
My school sent me on an adventure trip aboard a certain Top'sl Sail training ship.At sixteen I had all the seafaring knowledge of an old hand.
Day Three,the Bo'sun asked us foredeck hands a question.
No problem thought I.I know an outhaul and a haliard,an in haul and an out haul.Gant lin's will be no problem for me.
Anyhoo Nobby Stile's(the bo'sun)asks us"what do you do when the yards are aback,the ship is sogging to leeward and slowly going astern into them rocks?
My smart answer.
"Uphauls and Gant's,Aloft and stow"
"Very good young mister Wholley,now where are the gant'lins.
I promptly put my hand on the flying jib haliard,
whilst a lad with no seafaring experience went straight to the right pins,he had been paying attention when I had not.
Nobby did'nt cuss me,he just gave me the withering glance that only a Killick can then said"Give that line to Wholley,as he knows where it is"
Felt as tall as a garden gnome.
Avast there me hearties.
Wholley.

... and THAT, is leadership, folks. Too bad our chaps don't know more about that style... one sees it occasionally here...not near often enough.El Prez wrote:Swearing at people who have made a cock up is demotivating.

Heyup Rob that nice Jerky Herky wants to give you one. 
A new swearword that is. Raginfratzin, comes straight out of "The Muppets-Uncut" and is right alongside Muggerfugger
Swearing is swearing. What is acceptable in a man’s bar is not acceptable at home. Even after sixteen years in Mrs Aitch`s company, she still pulls me up for not effing and blinding enough
.
Dozy F%^eing B%%er, you think she’d be used to it, by now
A team of builders started renovating a house next to where a little girl was living. She was sweetness personified, all blonde curls and bubbly.
Each day as the men ate their lunch, the little girl would visit them and chat. The men would get the little girl to "help" them in their work
She became their little mascot, and pretty soon they all started bringing her treats to share at lunch break. At the end of the first week, the foreman presented the little girl with a pay packet containing one pound. It was her "wages" for the week’s work!
Mummy took the little girl round to the bank, in order to open an account and teach the child the value of money. The bank manager happened to be behind the counter at the time and for such a "special" customer, he rolled out the red carpet and ushered them both into his office.
"Tell me, little girl, how can I help you?"
"I’d like to open a bank account, please"
"A bank account? And what would you like to pay into your bank account?"
"My wages" she says, triumphantly!
The bank manager asks the little girl all about her” job" on the building site and how she helps the workers.
"Will you be finishing the house, soon?" asks the bank manager.
"If those f&cking lazy barstewards down the f&cking builder`s yard ever get off their f&cking lazy arses and deliver the f&cking plasterboard, we might. Bunch of cults, all of`em"
Down yer, swearing is de riguer. On the tv news or current affair progs it`s not something one notices anymore. It`s just always there.
There is nothing similar to the "polite conversation" we used to enjoy on long summer evenings, in the cotswolds.
As an example, I heard this, last Sunday,(put on yer best Oz accent)
"Hey `Arry bloke, you Pommy Cult! How are you farkin goin mate, flat out like a farkin lizard drinking or what, ye cult? Are ye geddin enough mate are ye? Hey, are ye? Farkin looks like you are. Lacky farkin barsted. Get this farkin tinnie India ya cult! Look at that farkin Sheila, mate, what? Talk about two puppys under the blanket! `Strewth mate, I`ve gorn all stiff"
Mind you, that was the Padre, after church parade
Mrs Aitch was the picture of "Genteel Refainment" as she smiled, demurely at the Padre. Out of the corner of her mouth, she whispered" Tell the w4nker to fark off `arry, `e`s starting to get on me tits"
