10 Things I'm Sick Of Hearing Because I Curse

"Sweet as sugar, hard as ice. Hurt me once, I'll kill you twice."

10 Things I'm Sick Of Hearing Because I Curse
Thought Catalog

I believe that my vocabulary is very, VERY colorful but I hate the judgmental comments I get when I say a word that someone does not like.

1. "You are unprofessional."

I curse in front of friends. And in grunts of frustration. I do not go to an employer or a professional boss and say, "Shit." or any other curse words. There is a time and place to say things.

2. "You only curse for attention."

I don't know a single woman who swears just to get attention. Personally, I've never thought cussing would magically make me stand out or appear sexier or more confident or tough, either. But if you're a woman who loves to swear, some people are going to think you only developed Sailor Mouth or a trucker mouth because you're an attention-seeker.

3. "You are just trying to be 'one of the guys'."

This one I CANNOT stress enough. Just because I curse, does not mean I am more manly then feminine.

4. "You try to be cool."

Just because I said "Damn" does not mean I am trying to fit in by any means. But thank you for asking about my popularity.

5. "You are far from classy."

First of all, no one should get to tell grown women whether or not we're classy enough; we get to decide that for ourselves. Let's open the book to music guru's who use swears. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lily Allen, and Lana Del Rey all curse in their songs, and they are the classiest people I have ever met.

6. "My religion is against this."

I swear I hear this more than ten times a day. Just because I say the F word, does not mean I worship Satan, but thanks.

7. "You have terrible manners."

Okay, okay. I do not say all the curse words at the dinner table.

8. "You must drink like sailors."

What does cursing have anything to do with alcohol?

9. "You must have a poor vocabulary."

No comment for this one.

10. "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

I kiss everyone with this mouth. Sometimes I pass "the cursing bug" to other people. *gasp*

Here are ten things that I, as a woman, am sick of hearing because I curse.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
