I have a swear words manicure for the Twinsie Tuesday prompt this week, the theme for which was words.

I was initially going to play it safe and do some “normal” words, but I changed my mind once I received the MoYou London Lingo 01 plate, which has a load of wonderful British phrases on it – including lots of swear words.

If you’re anti-swearing, you’re going to have to move on to the next post in your feed, as this may offend!

I am prone myself to a bit of swearing. My husband tells me off and calls me a “potty mouth”! I mainly swear in the car – at other drivers. I’m one of those drivers that curses those who overtake me as being madmen (it’s usually men) but will get equally irate at a dawdler. And when people forget what indicators are, or can’t stay in their lanes, then they will be berated too.

Don’t get me wrong here, I don’t wind down the window and give them a verbal outpouring. It’s always within the confines of the car … where I can’t be heard! (Except by my husband … sorry Paul!)

I used to be all polite and non-sweary, but these days I have Stephen Fry’s approach to it:

The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just fucking lunatic. – Stephen Fry

Despite being prone to swearing, I remained a little prudish though with these nails and couldn’t quite bring myself to put the F word on this manicure. So my index finger displays the very mild “oh bother”.

The ring finger is my favourite though. (And comes with a word of warning to my American readers: you seem to have started using this word now in the US – but it’s stronger than the way you are using it – you can’t go around calling people it over here – you’ll get yourself decked!)
