Sadly i agree, although not in my circle of friends, i have never heard a female member of my family use the F bomb, maybe my sister a handful of times when she was EXTREMELY angry! lol

But yes i agree any pub or bar in the UK on a Friday or Saturday night...yes you will hear these charming ladies using the f bomb.

I was still shocked to hear girls in Canada using in everyday language, I dont think its nice for a girl to use it in company.

tbh, I haven't got much of a clue what she was on about, partly because it was a load of bollox and partly because a few of us had spent lunch in the pub.

Depends where you live and what the swearing conventions are.

The F-bomb is not considered rude in QC. Most biological references are not either (C-word excepted).

QC swearing is all about churchy stuff.

Yes that is funny....hearing the stepkids "WTF" etc in front of their grandparents but woe betide them for letting a tabarnak slip out. :rofl:
