As for the word crap, it is interesting how it's worked its way down from being quite a controversial swear word to barely qualifying as swearing at all.
Stuff about Thatcher....
You are a disgrace and I'm looking forward to when someone you respect dies so I can rub your liberal face in it.
Even now when I'm 27, I think the worst word I've ever heard my mum use is 'crap' - unless she was quoting something (and that was only once, where it was required). But I think that's just the way she is, she just doesn't swear - my dad on the other hand, has a mouth like a sewer, but I don't swear in front of either of them still - it just feels a bit disrespectful.
Like you say it's disrespectful.The word 'berk' is vastly underused, perhaps unsurprisingly when you consider its origins. It's a way of swearing on the telly pre-watershed though I guess.

I never swore in front of my mum and dad, who have both gone now
My son thinks he's having really nice eggs, he also thought the socks were on fire. Kids hear what they want to hear and if they have no knowledge of their meanings it ain't going to harm them. If they do know of their meanings, they'll just snigger.
Just remembered that I played pool with a satanist last night. Really should go out on a Friday more often.
Had a good night last night. We lost the pub quiz but had my hair plaited by a viking.

Mmm, I have to disagree with that one. Remember when Sara Cox texted Chris saying: "Great, my son just asked me what 'nice sex' was. Thanks Bruno Mars"? I think I'd prefer to have the words censored and introduce it to them myself, properly, then a) feeling rushed into telling them or b) needing to make something up and running the risk of having them trying to discuss said word with everyone they know for more info.
If the censoring was consistent, at least children wouldn't be picking up the word without its context. Dunno, just my two pennies!
Surely if you feel that strongly then the most realistic way to tackle it is to shield your kids from the sources? I always remember watching Buzzcocks the time Lily Allen and Jameela were both on and Jameela was having a go about Lily Allen refusing to make a censored version of her album for Jameela's little girl. Lily Allen just pointed out that she didn't write her album for kids, so if parents have a problem with the content they should bear that in mind.
I think it was Jameela anyway.

I'd agree it's disrespectful if it's abusive, unnecessary or someone's obviously uncomfortable with it. But there are times when some of us forget for a split second that our mum's on speakerphone and shout something they instantly regret at someone who's about to crash into them and then compound it by expressing their regret in colourful language.
Apart from not being a granny. Baby Yudster is my seven year old SON, not grandson thank you.
Never going to happen - he has a life!
That's what you think!
