Did you notice that so many of the young from England use the F word nearly all the time?

Question

It seems like the young tourists that come here from England use volger language constantly and have terrible manners. I sure hope this is not the norm there.

Answer 1

There is a 'swearing culture' in the UK. But not every one swears. When I travel to another country I try and be has respectful has I can and make it my duty to learn something of the etiquette of that country, the culture and a little of the language, even if it is just 'please' and 'thank you'
It is true a lot of kids are very fouled mouthed in the UK and if you hear their parents speak it is not surprising.
But in every country the youth swear. even in countries were we imagine everyone to be polite and well mannered. I have heard Japanese youth swear in both English and Japanese....the funny thing is when they swear in English it is with an American accent....I wonder why that is (I am being sarcastic)

I am sorry that a few (but admittedly it seems like a lot) of English tourists have left you with a negative imagine of British people. Just try and remember they are youth and they are still immature and they all like to act big and tough in front of their mates, when really they are acting like fools.(Not that I am making excuses for their terrible behaviour)

But on the whole, I think British people are well behaved when they travel abroad it is just the youth that ruin it for everyone else.

Answer 2

it might be an abbreviated sort of By our Lady-referencing the Virgin Mary (i suppose incredibly not going). Or might be relating to the "blue" blood she within the warfare of the roses. Bu what I suppose is extra believable is that bloody refers back to the blood of Christ-the swear phrase is likened to pronouncing "Christ" as an adjective. You see this additionally while you listen the Irish say, "ache Jesus". At the time of its inception (circa 1600s or earlier than) it could were viewed tremendously sacrilegious, however now it falls into that lot of phrases that simply make individuals sound uncouth. The F-phrase is a lot more flexible. It is a noun, adjective, verb and adverb. It nonetheless has the flare of being one of the crucial no no phrases for public as good.

Answer 3

Having lived in the UK all my life, I'd say it was the other way round. Maybe they learn it from all those vulgar (or would that be volger) american television shows?

Answer 4

It's not just young people from the U.K. who do this. Young people in Atlantic Canada seem to have a perverse affinity for the word. Every second word out of their mouths is usually the F word.

Answer 5

I think a little number of young british talk like that.
Coz british peps are like ' MAY i HAVE the towel PLEASE'
or on a speach ' Good Morning to the principle of the school, the teachers and students that i beloved'.
It's like sooooo civilize!

Answer 6

Answer 7

That is very true, though not only there, it is everywhere. Now I am learning in the UAE and almost always beetween students it is: 'What the f is hapening here? Yah sure get the f out of here' And it is natural.

Answer 8

Honey...you don't interact with many American youth, do you? The entire Hip Hop/Rap crowd can't speak a full sentance without using it at least 4 times.

Answer 9

There are very few times when the "f" word is appropriate. Most of the time the way people use it now just makes them sound ignorant.

Answer 10

I very rarely use the F word, in fact pretty much never. I have good manners.
