As SpongeBob says, they are “sentence enhancers” 😂
When my son was 2 and a bit, I had put him in the car after daycare and was giving him a snack. I dropped the snack all over the floor. I hung my head and took a deep breath before starting to clean it up. In his little toddler voice he said “You forgot to say fuck, Mama.”
Yep, kid. I did.

I’m positive that anyone in the vicinity began criticizing the mom.
If there were people around i am certain they started judging the parent
I don’t think this post is relevant to the sub.

Reminds me of the time my parents had my uncle and cousin over and they had soup. And my cousin who was like five at the time asked “what the hell is the fork for?”
I greatly appreciate those who possess the art of infrequent use of curses but have the sense of timing to make the times they use them incredibly effective and hilarious.
Just because a post mentions a child doesn’t mean it fits this sub
We taught our kids to “save your swears.” Throwing in random curse words just for the sake of it? Doesn’t make you look clever. A well-timed F-bomb after stubbing your toe, followed by “I saved that one”… now that’s how it’s done.
swear words are for those things that are actually fucked up
When my daughter was 2 or 3 I was helping her with something. I don’t remember what, but apparently I wasn’t going fast enough for her. I hear her mutter in this tiny little voice: “Just fricken damn do it.” One of my favorite memories of her childhood.
My nephew is autistic and he only has a handful of sentences he can say. At his 8th birthday party he was having a hard time opening one of his presents and he walked up to his dad (my brother) with it, held it up, and said “what the fuck?” and we all laughed so hard. He didn’t seem like he understood why it was funny but he loved the attention. He’s a great kid and just didn’t understand what he had said.
That’s not what oscars are for.
My speech-challenged daughter, at 2 years old, formed one of her first cohesive sentences with a look around her great grandparents place, hands on her hips, a huff, and a firm “there’s shit everywhere”. Her speech therapist laughed and said as long as she’s using context it’s as good as any other phrase.

“Daddy needs to clean his fuckin car”… she said to her mother the day after the zombie bar crawl.
Once in a while I will come across a video on YT about things that kids say. One was a little British girl who got frustrated while out on a walk with her mom. Little girl would say ‘fuck’ after every frustration. She said it so calmly like it was an every day thing which it probably was. Her mother kept saying, “what did you say????” Little girl said, “fuck”.
I used to teach at a weekend cram school and my students were all Asian, some ESL, one of them was a sweetheart of a kid, but if she didn’t understand something she’d interrupt me to say “wait, what the hell are you talking about!?”
That little girl cared so much about learning she gave zero fucks
I wish that child was my daughter. But then I used to have one exactly like that so I can’t be too greedy.
To make this clear she is still my daughter but she has her own little firebrands now.
Funny you say this because this is my philosophy for my kids. I don’t care if they swear but there’s a time and place.
Always let my kids swear. They learned the appropriate places to use them and not. Never had an issue.
My daughter once called someone a chicken nugget fuck face and I had to calmly tell her that it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard and that I was very proud of her.
Swearing is like a katana. You gotta learn the proper way to use it and then master it
Profanity has a fucking place in our society. It’s there for a reason.
There’s a huge difference when you’re not a professional (customer, client, etc) and talking to a professional and you use the word fuck. Fuck is far different then fuck you or fuck off. Tone also matters.
Not to toot my own horn but if someone is talking to me and they’re professional and I insert a fuck into the convo. and I’m then warned that profanity is not tolerated I tend to say something along the lines of; profanity has a place in our society, there’s a difference between fuck and fuck you, I have a charter right, switch me on over to a supervisor or some shit along those lines b/c quite frankly if you can’t handle fuck, shit and piss in conversation while talking to a non-professional you’re just not very professional.
I dunno if this rationale makes sense but that’s my take on profanity.
I’ve searched many times but have never found a satisfying answer as to why languages need words that are socially forbidden to kids.
These constant lazy, poorly written, clearly false anecdotal posts are near the top of my least-favorite-things-about-the-internet list
I don’t know about an Oscar: the kid clearly isn’t acting. Maybe a Pulitzer for investigative journalism?
My rule is kids can swear to kids, and adults can swear to adults, just never cross the stream
If people stopped teaching their kids bad words are bad there wouldn’t be anymore bad words.
When I was younger I used to use swear word out of context all the time I just be cursing because I thought it was cool.
More like parents should be teaching their kids not to be swearing at all. What the fuck is wrong with people
Appropriate reaction to whatever the fuck cauliflower rice is.
Bad words were derived from an old classist system of the elite refusing to use common words used by peasants or “Common people.”
Say whatever tf you want, they’re words. Oversensitive ass people.
Nothing wrong with cauliflower rice. Also probably not the best spot for this.
When you’re 9 but already a pro at shock value. 😂
That kid has already figured out the whole “truth to power” thing better than most adults. Respect.
Honestly, her delivery probably sold it better than most Oscar speeches.
Shoutout to that post about a kid playing Animal Crossing on the 3DS and yelling out “FUCKING SEABASS” in the subway.
