The F Word

I used the work fuck all the time in conversation and it's become so common place now I don't even notice it. It becomes a habit.

Ie: friend: "Wanna go to the shops?" me: "nah, fuck it"

To combat this constant state of cuss, i have been replacing swear words with fruit and vegetables. Not only has this made me more aware of my swearing but has stopped me from swearing in most instances.

For instance, instead of saying "fuck that" i say "fruit that" and instead of "what a dumb shit or "dumb cunt" i say "silly potato". "Wholly fruit, did you see that dogs balls?", "I don't know squash about it"

When you substitute these words, you feel like an idiot and it makes you want to swear less. Also, no one gets offended being called a "apple licker"

Of course there's always times the F and C word's work best, it's trying to stop the constant swearing in general conversation that this fruit and veges solution is best at. Try it for yourself.

Note: Cumquat doesn't count, it's already rude.
