Rev Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 26 minutes ago, ariotofmyown said: Swearing can be funny or make something mean more. In the bounce song though, it just seems unnecessary and unimaginative. In the Leeds Dambusters song though it fits perfectly. I think the worse part though is "you're a red". Anti-Forest songs are a bit dull without any wit (unlike Dambusters) but more importantly, who has ever called them the Reds? Would be better off using Tree instead. In other swearing news, I think the f word and the c word sound unpleasant with a hard Midlands 'uh' sound. I have ended up adopting a cockney 'a' sound in the two words which makes them much more comical and fun, if I ever do use them. If you don't fa..ing bounce you're a ca.. is an option perhaps?! Also, not sure if the Belle and Sebastian was a cartoon or band reference, but it's about time we had a B&S lyrics Derby thread @Inverurie Ram to celebrate one of Scotland's finest. The Boy with the Derby Hat? The loneliness of a Derby midfield runner? Get me away from here I'm Derby? Mount in the Snow? Sleep Keogh around? Don't encourage him, you Cant.

Alph Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Maybe I've got weird kids but they've never asked what a swear word means when they have heard one. I tell them it's very naughty and they accept it. They've been to a Derby game and I told them grown ups act very silly at football. They jump up and down when the ball goes in the goal. They get angry over silly things and clap a lot! And they say naughty words that you won't be using. If my kids said "Dad, what's a see you next Tuesday" then I'd say it's a nasty swear word and they should never say it. Who's telling their kids about a vagina instead? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maydrakin Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 My son has been advised that the actual words are “If you don’t jump and bounce...” which is what we sing... (albeit from the East Stand, not often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 For me It’s about context and how you say a word and also I’m not really one for swearing around kids , I don’t get why the c word is seen as some taboo and viewed as less acceptable than other swear words , the c word used in comedic situation ( our little golf fourball take the mick with it often ) is worse than calling someone a tanker with anger and venom?

Literal tingles just remembering it The bounce is fun but I still feel a but guilty that our big song has a massive F bomb in it. Anyone else feel a bit bad when Keogh started the bounce after the WBA game and was holding his tiny daughter, as twenty thousand F bombs landed all around her little ears ? Doesn’t have to be a swear word. My daughter sings ‘if you don’t flippin bounce’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gave me a flashback to the time we stayed with my Auntie in the school holidays and she gave us an impromptu lesson in replacement swear words and how lots of common non-sweary phrases originated out of children inventing expletives that sounded like blasphemy but weren't (so that they didn't anger their parents OR god) eg Cor Blimey = God Bless Me Cripes/Crikey = Christ Sheesh/Jeez = Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamuelLJackson Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don't think we have a right not to be offended. We do have a right not to be attacked or harmed. So using a swear word as an intensifier shouldn't be a problem - using one to pick on or demean someone should be. And yes, that's what I have taught my kid.

And Cor Blimey was God Blind me. All nothing to do with children though. It was because of avoiding being blasphemous. It's a bit like the Victorian "Gordon Bennett" because it sounded a bit like God! Gordon Bennett was a real person by the way but that's another story....
