It bothers me when women in their late 30s say B instead of bitch, UGs instead of undergarments/underwear/bras&panties/chaddis/lingerie, and FO instead of fuck off. And I don't mean when there are children around, just when they are talking to other women of the same age!
What's to feel so squeamish about? I don't get it. Why can't you just say bitch if you want to? Or if you don't want to, then say something else instead. Why abbreviate or spell out words like you're in the presence of a two-year-old or a retard or the Pope.
Or maybe there's something wrong with me? Maybe it's normal to speak that way and I'm just a guttersnipe, like my Dad says.

i think the only woman who doesn't swear on this planet is aishwarya rai bachchan. the rest are just wannabes.
@AGG - Said the cat who lived through nine lives to the little kitten!
@Mentalie - Are you sure Ash doesn't swear? She has Jaya Bachchan for a mother-in-law after all!
Hmmmn... is it that they are so used to being around children that all conversations have gotten boringly PC?
Still can't figure why on earth panties would need to be abbreviated though.
Sounds more repressive than wearing thongs all day!
Nothing is more irritating than writing in SMS and abbreviated language. Me thinks.
