I don't mind people swearing in arguments or occasionally in conversation but three of the guys seem to swear a lot. Really find Bear annoying as he seems to be unable to speak a single sentence without inserting the f word at least once if not more

I may be a prude but I really don't like the excessive swearing.
Boom, Bear and Geordie Girl can't seem to utter a sentence without expletives or sewage pouring out of their mouths. And people complained about Alex not being articulate. He is orator extraordinaire compared to this lot.
At least there are a few housemates who can formulate a sentence without feeling the need to swear every 5 seconds. I always assume those who swear that much just don't know enough words to make a full sentence without filling in the gaps with the odd f-word

So do I. But to swear effectively - to indicate how angry, frustrated, shocked, impressed you are requires some other vocabulary thrown in or it looses its emphasis. Bear and Boom use the c word, like punctuation. I find them quite repellent.

At the end of the day it's a fall back when you haven't got anything eloquent to say. A lot of the general public will love it.”
I often wonder if people who talk like that are even aware that they do it, they may not even hear it anymore because it's so much a part of how they speak. How sad, if that's the case.

I'm not sure it does though...”
Can you imagine in a job interview "Why do you want the effing job?"
"Well, I effing love effing office work, it's effing awesome, you know what I effing mean sir?"

It doesn't offend me, not overally fond of the 'c' word but pretty much anything else doesn't bother me and if the company of adults who are fellow swearers it's quite liberating.
