Well fuck me sideways, my dear fellow bad ass bitch, I totally relate to EVERYTHING you are saying.

As a coach it's quite a thing to show your personality loudly and proudly, especially when so many of us are of the 'love the world and crystals' kind.

But here I am, sweary AF, with the dirtiest AND darkest sense of humour (haven't shown the latter a lot here yet) and sarcasm up the wazoo. And a life and health coach.

Oops!

😂💯👏🤣🙌 HAHAH yassss!!!! Here for ALL of your sweary and sarcastic and hilarious UNFILTERED self. Even if becoming unfiltered is a journey 💕 Or, we just completely normalize sweary coaching?! 😂

Maggie Jon's avatar

I think we're both working on the normalizing swearing, together with Gary V 😂

Hahah yassss 👏👏🤣

What a comment, that first sentence is epic!!! Can I start using 'fuck me sideways'? I certainly can't say my 'dear fellow bad ass bitch' though.

I love a dirty and dark sense of humour, and sarcasm? Cut me and I bleed sarcasm, it courses through my veins!

Maggie Jon's avatar

Hahahah oh stahp (or keep going, it makes me giggle like a 8-yo boy who just discovered swearing). Hello fellow swearer and sarcasmer (?) And yes, please use 'fuck me sideways'. We need more expressions like that.

In my case, it's only getting worse - or rather, better. I've entered that wonderfully liberating period of life where I truly don't give a flying fuck anymore and I'm not just saying it, I'm living the dream!

Yaaaaassss! Fuckaduck-tastic 😁

I actually feel more relaxed around those that swear, as long as it’s not over the top. A good F bomb can be therapeutic for the speaker and it somehow makes me feel closer to that person. It’s like, “ok, I am letting my fucking guard down. This is me.”

Megan Lee's avatar

Yes, yes!! 🙌 Love this perspective and I feel the same way! People being prim and proper to “make a point” are not my kind of people lol

Your sweary writing actually inspired me to be more authentically myself in my writing because I, too, am a swearer. I always felt like my writing had to be prim and polished to be taken seriously but the whole idea of my writing is to truly express myself, but if I can’t authentically be myself then am I even doing that? Thank you for being you ♥️

Megan Lee's avatar

💛 this!!! It feels so amazing to know my being myself inspires you to be more yourself. Love it!!! 🤩

From one recovering people pleaser to another, I can confirm that swearing actually indicates your massive intelligence and HEART.

Also, I learned how to swear from my grandma. She approves 😇

Megan Lee's avatar

🥹🥹 this comment makes me light up!!! 🥰 And, is this the same grandma who is an author and composer?!

I so needed a great read like this! If the swear police (let's pretend they exist) come for you, they can, politely fuck off 🤷‍♀️😅 seriously love reading they way you write and Maggie Jon. I swear a lot when speaking but never being rude to people, it just comes out. And yesss you can be an intelligent woman with a mouth most sailors would be proud of! (Thays a saying where I'm from, got a mouth like a sailor). One thing I fucking love is how you don't shy away from the word cunt, it is seriously one of the best swear words in my opinion. I'm not debating people who see it as disrespectful to woman, I get respect anyone's view but that ain't how I use the word.

A Scottish (I'm scottish) comedian Billy Connolly explained it so well years and years ago. In Scotland it just isn't that offensive (well for some it is). But as he says, someone can be a "bit of a cunt", "he's a funny cunt" (good thing) but if I say "are you trying to be a funny cunt?" (Not good). A good cunt (compliment). A total cunt... nah you better run 😅 I'm seriously thinking of writing about the funny ways Scottish people swear. How calling someone an absolute weapon is an insult but sounds like it would be a compliment.

An original would be a "bawbag" if you can't figure it out, it's slang for scrotum. Oh you've inspired me again. 💕✨️😅

Megan Lee's avatar

HANNAH I LOVE THIS COMMENT SO MUCH!!! First off, the swear police can fuck off, hilarious 😂😂😂 YES.

Second, I'm definitely nervous about the assumptions people will make about me based on my swearing, and your comment is such a lovely reinforcement about not worrying about the nay-sayers, because the lovely open-minded people (like yourself) that I DO attract by being myself is such a great feeling. 💕

Third, I DO love the word cunt. 🙈 It's such a great swear! 😂 And I completely agree with you and respect other people's opinions about it. And EXACTLY... I *love* the comedian explaining all the ways cunt can be used 😂😂... to me it's really how it's used. I have zero problems with the word cunt, bitch, etc., *unless* someone was TRYING to be a bitch to me by using the word at me. LOL Otherwise the words themselves don't offend me in the least hahah

Fourth, OMG PLZ DO WRITE ABOUT THE WAYS SCOTTISH PEOPLE SWEAR!!! 🙏😂 I think that's a brilliant idea! I've never heard "bawbag"... I'm delighted to have learned 😂😂

I don't trust people who can't handle easy-breazy swearing. Like, what the fuck? I gotta tiptoe around your ass? Grow a pair... or cunt up (whichever is your preference).

Megan Lee's avatar

Haha yes, exactly!! 😂 Just because you're swearing doesn't mean you're being rude 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dan Stocke's avatar

Right‽ Swearing is an efficient use of language. Using it is, frankly, polite.

Megan Lee's avatar

If I DON'T care for you I won't swear for you. 😂😂😂

I was once called on the carpet early in my professional career by a boss who didn’t approve of my use of the word “suck.” I wasn’t saying “suck it” I would occasional say “oh that sucks.” It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life when he said “you do know what that implies right? To him “suck” was short for “shit.” Long story short…it was definitely a head shake moment I will never forget and wish people would care less about how we verbally express ourselves and focus more on the things that fucking matter.

Megan Lee's avatar

Seriously??? I'm getting mad for you in that moment! How mean of him 😡 Some people are so small minded. Sigh, it's their loss!!! Here's to expressing ourselves however is true to us! ✨️

K.L. Rockwell's avatar

It was so awkward. I wasn’t sure at all where he was headed with the conversation and my first thought when he asked if I knew what it meant was “does he think it means BJ?” I was actually relieved when he said “shit.”

Megan Lee's avatar

Yeah that's what I thought he would have went with it too which would have been so so awkward. What a weird situation all the way around!!

Adam Lutzi Rockwell's avatar

You said a swear at the end!! 🤗

K.L. Rockwell's avatar

It was for dramatic affect. Jazzhands!

Megan Lee's avatar

Ok you two are too adorable!!! 😆💛💛

Adam Lutzi Rockwell's avatar

😆😆 I don’t remember what happened here!!

Megan Lee's avatar

😂 You and your wifey commenting on each others posts! And, just generally being the cutest substack couple!!

Dan Stocke's avatar

"suck" was short for "shit." And he was in management?

K.L. Rockwell's avatar

True story.

Fuck a duck Meg…good one, respectfully the 77 year old n

Virgin. Have a good weekend-Di

Megan Lee's avatar

Hahah thank you!! You too!! 🤩

Paisley's avatar

i’m a cusser (the technical term “curse” just doesn’t fit me); i always have been. years ago, my husband—when he wasn’t my husband yet—said i cuss too much. now, he’s a proper cusser too! sometimes conveying your thoughts and feelings just doesn’t hit the same without a “fuck” or a “bitch” for extra emphasis. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Megan Lee's avatar

Hahah YES!! 🙏😂 Shit just hits differently with swear words added to it! I love how you’ve converted your husband too! 🤣

Well that was fucking brilliant! I also have an intimate relationship with the f-word… as an expletive, a noun, a verb, an adjective, and adverb, and I could probably find a way to use it as a conjunction (or maybe I already have?). Anyway, they are words. Words only have the power we give them. I taught my sons some choice uses of the f-bomb when they were young. I also taught them to gauge their audience. (And inside the car when addressing other drivers, it’s all filters off!)

Megan Lee's avatar

Love everything about this comment!!! 😂🙏🏼💯👏

Car swearing is my favorite 🤣🤣🤣 The things that burst forth!

What the fuck was that shit? 🙂 Great writing. Captivating, fun and pretty... well... deep. Keep being you it works really well.

Megan Lee's avatar

Thank you, my friend!!! This makes me really happy to hear. 💕💕

Kinda cathartic doing sweary typed words

Megan Lee's avatar

Sooo cathartic. Like a massage for the mind 😂

Heather Munro's avatar

I don’t like the obvious gendered ones as they seem anti-woman. That’s why asshole is so perfect for everyone.

Megan Lee's avatar

Haha asshole does apply equally!! 🙏😂

Fuck yeah!

Here for this energy!! 😄😄

YES! I love swearing too. And fuck a duck, that's what my mother says a lot (I thought it was just an Irish thing?). My daughter noticed this and is always telling her off, which is odd, because I swear like a Welsh miner (that's a good one for you!). Now my daughter will say, literally 'eff-duck' as a substitute, which may or may not be a good thing.

I gotta be careful though - I get irritated way too easily by people (I don't suffer fools gladly) and I fear one day I might get arrested!

Years ago, in an English class, final day, I was about to hand out their certificates and was giving them my inspirational end of term speech and there was plenty of time left in class, and one student who everyone hated, she was obnoxious as hell, kept tutting and groaning and eventually said 'can you please just give us our certificates?' and I totally lost and said, 'can you just chill the fuck out?' and she turned red, and left the classroom. The rest of the class burst into applause! Seriously, one of my proudest teaching moments!
