Despite my advanced age, the only time I ever saw that movie was when the host of the reception after my mom's funeral had it on in the background. For whatever reason, I wasn't paying too much attention to it.
I didn't know that scene in HIMYM was referencing something.
Poor Schwartz.
Too bad bonus panel doesn't load for me.
"Bitch was dishin' out F's long before I was..."
Same. I even tried opening the page in Firefox
That bonus panel is gold 🤌
Damn that bonus tho xD
My two rules for my kiddo:
- Use it correctly.
- Don't get me in trouble.
Bingo. I will say my mum absolutely hates how liberal I am with swears in my house and around my kids. "It's not how I raised you"
I repeatedly tell her we all swear. I can't put the genie back in the bottle. What I can do is provide my kids a safe space and teach them how to understand context around swearing and when it's acceptable.
Edit - I don't understand why some people are so puritanical over words.
It's all a weird act. Kids swear around other kids, adults swear around other adults, but oh no, you can't let kids hear those dangerous swear words that they already know and use every day.
Your mom needs to be introduced to George Carlin, starting with his classic Class Clown album. The section leading up to and including the Seven Words You Can't Say on TV (at the time it was recorded in the mid 1970s) particularly addresses how words themselves are just a collection of meaningless syllables without the intent ascribed to them.
I am bestowing the word of power upon you.
Use it responsibly.
Yup, the more you tell them not to say those words, the more they'll use them anyway.
Our rule is similar. "If you don't know how or when it's appropriate to use a word then you shouldn't be using it."
Profanity is just words. Using them properly doesn't make you look cool. Using them improperly does make you look like an idiot.
There's no reason not to teach kids swears as long as you teach them enough manners not to get in trouble for them. This mum could be a great one who talks to her child like an equal using grownup language, with the expectation that he knows which words don't belong in earshot of teachers and snitches.
Embarrassing story time! When i was a wee lad about 7 or 8, a kid on the playground called me a "gaylord". I didn't know what this was and asked my mom later and she said it meant someone who was really happy...like lord of happy people. Anyways i proudly proclaimed to all who would listen at the next recess that I was in fact, a gaylord. Don't shelter your kids people, that shit followed me for years.
This cheered me up tonight, thank you 😂
Definitely agree. Kids should know the words & to not say them around certain people. We used to swear with each other all the time, as kids, but as soon as certain people were within earshot we stopped saying those words.
Yes! We taught my nephews there are grown-up words, grown-up drinks and grown-up movies.
Yup we teach our kids not to use "grownup words" and that they can use "grownup words" when they're grownups and can make the grownup decision of when and when not to swear. Because ultimately that both meets societies expectations related to swear words while fostering a healthy relationship with language.
Kyle you stupid son of a bitch where did you learn that shit
son of a bitch
Quite the insult to say by the mom.
Kyle: *starts laughing*
Mom: You motherfucker!
🤣
I hope not.
We are not wieners!
Kyle has zero fucking chill
Even after his mom told that little shit not to fuck with squares.
Never had children, but I imagine this is me parenting.
When I was 13 I was the one who knew the most of dirty jokes in ny class. I had learned them from my dad.
Dads are the best
Last panel was unexpected. Well done.
