Apologize and promise not to do it again. Make sure to act more polite around them in the future.

Question

My dad curses a lot. It’s because he caught it from work. I once swore in front of him and well, we laughed. Me and my dad are Christian, so I don’t know.

If you both think swearing is okay, then it is - but only in conversations that involve nobody but the two of you. If it makes you uncomfortable because of your religion, tell him. He will have to accept that and will most likely swear less around you (or, at least, try to). In general, only swear around people that are okay with that - and if you don’t want others to swear around you, tell them.

Question

How to get away with swearing and excuses to make up if you are in trouble?

Community Answer

If you are in trouble because of swearing, apologize to whoever is offended. Make sure to never curse around them again. In case you swear around a trusted person (like your parents or other close relatives), apologize and then tell them why you’re mad in a polite manner (repetitive swearing worsens the situation). For example say: “Sorry, I’m just so mad at (cause you are mad) because (why this makes you mad).” Then, most adults will be a little more understanding and might reply something like: “Well, that is a good cause to be angry, but still no reason to swear.” If an adults understands you, your chances of punishment are lower.

Question

What if you apologize and they still snitch on you?

Community Answer

There's probably no use dealing with that person, so stay away from them.
