I barked at some road construction workers!We don't have kids here but there are kids in very close proximity and these guys are using the F word as a verb, adverb, noun, adjective and interjection. I'm not sure if these guys know any of this grammar they're using it.We knew when it wasn't appropriate to use it and when to cool it.
I have a friend who had a friend with the same language pattern. He was reasonably proficient at soccer so he offered to coach his son's team. He didn't watch what words he was using so he didn't last long.
I barked at some road construction workers!The city is having some road work done on the street adjacent to our house. They park their tractor at our back wall and are working on the street on our south side wall. Each day, at quitting time, they all seem to gather around the trailer that the tractor is loaded onto. The tractor makes a huge amount of noise, but we can live with that.Today, like every day for the past two weeks, these guys now yell at each other over the tractor noise as it's being loaded. Not only is it annoying, but they seem to have to drop F bombs 6 times in a sentence. We don't have kids here but there are kids in very close proximity and these guys are using the F word as a verb, adverb, noun, adjective and interjection. I'm not sure if these guys know any of this grammar they're using it.Look, I'm veteran sailor and a 32 yr veteran of the fire department. Cursing an an hourly, daily function BUT we knew when it wasn't appropriate to use it and when to cool it. The fact that these guys had to yell it at each other so that I could clearly hear it over the tractor being loaded on the trailer was enough for me.I got up from the couch where I was texting a friend. We're home, we're naked. I could go slip on shorts but I didn't. I walk out to the backyard, hop up on a short wall we use for the seating around the fire ring and yell, "HEY". The tractor idles down so you can hear yourself think. I motion the guys over and tell them to drop their voices if they are going to curse or take it somewhere else. I explain and point to the houses where there are kids, and you can hear the kids playing in the backyards. Maybe the kids hear, maybe they don't but people cuss today for absolutely no reason.Anyway, I'm certain they were more weirded out that I was shirtless and probably nude. haha
Let us know if it worked over the intermediate term.
Spent 3-4 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday at a natural, clothing optional hot spring near our home. There were actually a few other nudists there both days. Was nice to enjoy a little social nudity and relax for my days off.
