I don't curse in real life and definitely not in front of my parents at 27. Something put a gosh diddly darn fear in me at a formative age.

This is great, the memoji is priceless
I watched my language around my parents growing up for sure. As a 33 year-old with their own mortgage, I say whatever I fuckin' please around my folks now, lol. It helps that my mom has always cursed like a sailor, a habit she picked up from her mom

This seems incredibly fake/staged like most things on the internet.

It's a crime it has 90K retweets. Who is this random person with 2K followers? Who did he pay to get this viral?

There's nothing staged about it. It is 100% pure strained reality and it is ASTOUNDING that so many people here do not know that.

Is this an American thing? The whole 'no profanities in front of one's parents'?

She actually said a** instead of "the s-word." She's gonna get #cancelled by her church group if they hear about this tweet.

Cultural thing. I'm Latino and I'm definitely in the no cursing in front of parents camp. It is only in the past few years that I started to curse in front of my dad.

Some of us have old school parents. Mine are in their 70s. They grew up with the mindset that older people know better and cursing in front of them is disrespectful.

Do it on a Sunday and Mom would wear you the fuck down.
My parents are in their 60's. They grew up in largely the same era. They"ve just changed with the times I guess,

In my family family group (with like 20 ppl) a cousin got into a heated arguement with another cousin about their kids and it was just so embarrassing to read....

but then my step dad accidentally started a video call in the chat which he quickly ended right in the middle of the arguement And he apologized to the chat saying
"Sorry ladies, please continue". I was dying laughing.

I guess my parents were vaguely opposed to cursing growing up, but all pretence vanished when I hit my teens and realized my mom swears more than I ever would. Also, this was Ireland, so people just use swearing as punctuation. The idea that "ass" is offensive is fucking hilarious to me.

North of the border, in French Canada, everyone swears plenty and nobody gives shit.
Parents will only correct young kids, but once you're over 18 nobody's going to say anything about it.
Hell, we'll even chain a couple of swears in a single sentence sometimes when it needs emphasis.
This includes our own French swears and also English swears which we seem to care about even less.

I started swearing more and more after turning 15, and my parents never held back after we had all grown out of grade school. Most conversations between me and my mom will have at least fifty "fucks" in it for good measure. How the hell don't you swear with your parents?

My parents wouldn't scold me for saying "ass." As a child? I'm getting a belt to my ass real quick, so it's good that they mellowed out. I couldn't say the f-word in front of them, though.

I will RARELY let a "fuck" out with my parents, but only at that curse tier do I start to be wary. Like, I'd never in a million years say "cunt" or some shit, but lower-tier cursing for sure, all day every day. We're a pretty boisterous italian family. Interestingly my wife and I curse constantly around our 4 year old and she hasn't picked up any of it, she's kinda intuited that these words ain't for her.

I have in ingrained to not swear in front of my family since childhood. Even if it wouldn't bother them now, I physically cannot get the swear out around my mom. I honestly don't know how to describe it.

My uncle was a baptist minister and sometimes he'd give us that look during service that meant we we're in for it when we got home.

I felt the same way watching this clip. And the man who wrote "my thumb slipped" knew he'd fucked up.

I thought this was funny as.

Worst case of accidental wrong message I've seen is a dude in my college accidentally sent "You up for some dick tonight?" to his grandmother. His girlfriends name is Jeanie and his grandmothers name is Janine.

He only has himself to blame.
