Ever sworn without intending to?

Have you ever been so shocked and surprised by something that you find yourself swearing without your conscious brain apparently sending the signal to do so?
Last time I did this was at college, when my grades were being read out in the final year. I said out loud “f**king hell!”.

This is because I had crammed all my coursework into the last week or so and was genuinelly not expecting to get top marks for all of it.

Hell yeah!

WTF are you talking about?

I work in a restaurant and last week, during a rush, I was taking a hot glass veggie dish out of the microwave and it slipped out of my grasp and shattered on the floor. Just by reflex I said “Fuckin’ A”, real loud. Loud enough for customers to hear. Oops.

I try to watch what I say, but that F word such a big part of my vocabulary. Sometimes I let it slip around my 2 year old and then I have to do damage control for two weeks.
Last summer I saw a bunch of ants in our kitchen and I said “Fuckin’ Ants”. and the rest of the day, my boy was walking around singing “Fuckin’ ants, Fuckin’ ants”. :smack:

I try, I really do.

:smiley:

This reminds me of the day my 7 and 8 year old nieces learned “dick brain” (not from me).

In Art class when I was 12, we were in a silent room because everyone was drawing away. My friend stabbed me with a pencil and I said “Shit!” really loudly and the teacher told me off. :smiley:

One day I was sitting at my desk and blurted out my usual cussword “dammit sonuvabitch.” I turned around and realized that the Christian lady who probably never said anything as serious as “darn” was standing behind me. :o

For some reason my self-editor just turns right off and I end up cussing like a sailor–for no apparent reason–whenever I’m in a room full of kids.

I can’t simply say, “I’m thirsty,” as I would under normal circumstances.

Instead, “I’m thirsty as fuck.”

I looked right at a cherub-faced young student, who was making good-natured fun of my husband, and said, “Hey, I married his goddamn motherfucking sonofabitch shitty-shit-shit ass!”

OK, that last one wasn’t entirely true. But I did say ass. To a child.

My sister is never going to let me babysit her kids.
