It's officially an I.O.U.

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

SO my mother had this 'wonderful' idea to have a swear jar for lent ("If you won't do it for Lent, do it for your porr mother" she said) and everytime my family swears, or even uses the slightest bit of foul language i.e. stupid, shut-up, shit, damn, crap, etc....it's $$$.

Really bad words = $1-$2 a piece
Shit, damn, crap - 0.50 a piece (except for my little sister who only has to pay 0.25 because she has no sense of income).

We've had the jar one day.

I already owe $5.

It's going to be an expensive 40 days....

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

my phone won't let me check my text messages.

 

[ABEL]

I don't swear

at least not that often, and usually when I do, if I do, I just say it to myself

 

[Sicy]

omg LOL that sucks

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

yeah. I've got to learn to swear in the confines of my room, or at least, when no one can hear me. In the car, maybe.

I use 'stupid, shit' etc all the time, as filler words. I swear, they have no meaning to me.

The only thing that's even better is that my dad owes something like $12.50. We figure we'll have enough to go out to dinner by the end of the 40 days.

Lent sucks.

Damn.

 

[Screaming Flower]

i gave up swearing too. i would already owe a million dollars by now.

i'm horrible.

 

[Diemen]

Your mom counts "stupid" as a swear word?

Wow. And I thought my parents were conservative!

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

It's not a 'swear' word really. More of just not a good thing to be saying.

Besides, I have a 13 year old sister. She needs to be caught for SOMETHING..she doesn't say the other stuff yet, so this is pretty much all she's got...

I hate this already.

[Sicy]

omg what flower said I'd go broke

 

[beegee]

i cuss all the time. seriously. it's bad.

 

[Salome]

I don't swear a lot

 

[arw]

I'm almost 29 and if I swore in front of my mother she'd start to cry. My sister on the other hand, every other word out of her mouth is a swear word. She's the baby of the family. the baby gets away with everything. even when the baby is 25..........

[brettig]

I don't think I could ever agree to that, Lent or not...

Let me be the first to say...fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

 

[Bonochick]

Fuck, I'd really be poor if we had that shit goin' on here!!!!!

Do "wanker" and "piss" count???

 

[Salome]

Let me be the first to say...fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

that isn't very cricket

 

[hiphop]

Lemme be the second one to say

What a fucking damn shit stoopid fuckjar.

 

[meegannie]

Call me old fashioned, but fucking hell! You people are bad!

 

[hiphop]

Yes we are meegannie you ever doubted that?

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

This is fucking terrible. If anything, I'll be caused to swear MORE (in my room, in the car, at school, etc).

Yes, piss and wanker count. EVERYTHING seems to count.

My mom wants me to put money in the jar if I swear in my room Here was my response. *drops $0.50 into the jar* "Hell no."

I never REALLy really swear in front of my parents anyway. I'll say "Friggen" to get around it (note: friggen now counts too). But my brother is going to Europe for a week (shit, damn, crap) so the main source of my swearing will be removed.... :l
