You are the one who's so bothered about a child overhearing a swear word, so yes, you'd probably better check closets, doors and windows.
I haven't changed my stance. As I have said before, I wouldn't deliberately start such a discussion with children listening, but I wouldn't check carefully if there are children anywhere close, and I don't think it will ...[text shortened]... t before, they won't even know it's something with a potential to be used for swearing.
I don't know where you think I live that there would be children in my closet or in my yard listening in... I live in a swamp.

The Dutch-based Action Front of National Socialism.
But then I have no friends at the AFNS. In fact I have no friends at all, except ole Bowmann here.
And I detest National Socialism, although I have to admit I have read Gunther Grass... does that latter fact count against me?

Originally posted by PhlabibitThe example was a conversation about the etymology of the word, which doesn't necessarily mean we'd talk about the meaning of the word. If the conversation would be sexually explicit, I wouldn't have it in front of children, but not because of the use of a swear word. For me, it's all about content, not words.

Do all your friends live in a swamp as well, or do you never visit them? And is your child not in the house when you talk to your friends at home?
