Mr. LD has asked me to quit saying the phrase, "I'm pissed off"

[lavenderdiva]

in front of his elderly parents. He feels that I am being disrespectful of his parents. He thinks they are uncomfortable with my language. Truly, I can't even remember saying anything like that in front of them, but he seems to remember such a situation.

So, I told him Ok. Tell your right-wing, Shrub-loving, Kool-aid drinking parents to quit sharing just how much they still love *, in front of me, and I will quit telling them how 'pissed' I am.

Does that sound fair to you? Discuss...

1. Sounds fair to me!

4. Ironically, my dad hates that, too, same as he hates

any expression with 'sucks' in it. I think it harkens back to bodily functions (Dad is 78), and has nothing to do with the current vernacular.
In any event, good luck.:evilgrin:

5. Yup!

Sounds MORE than fair to me! :)

6. Since you asked

I think that your opinion will always carry more weight if the specific language is inoffensive whenever possible.

Let the message offend :evilgrin:

10. Wise counsel, Rose Siding!

"Whenever possible" give a bit of an out.

7. Tell his folks that you will stop being "pissed off" when

you quit getting "pissed on" by Smirky and his criminal regime. Then you can tell her to put that in her pipe and smoke it.

8. That reminds me of way back when I was home on leave

from combat (Viet Nam) and my stepfather told me he would really appreciate it if I would stop addressing my Mother as "Motherfucker".

As in, "Hey, Motherfucker, what's for lunch?"

9. Just let them know that you're a uniter, not a divider, and that

you never would have disrespected the dicider but for the fact that he's a murderous whiner.

11. Instead of pissed off say...

angry
livid
outraged
irate
furious
infuriated
incensed
enraged
so mad I could spit nails (one of my favorites)

The english language is a beautiful thing...

12. Whoa man! I'd be saying worse that "I'm pissed off"!!!!! How can ANYONE

with half a brain, STILL LOVE THE PSYCHO-IN-CHIEF?????*&^%$# That's just carzy!:crazy: Keep telling them like it is. They need to hear it. If you're pissed...let them hear it and DEAL with it!

[Crunchy Frog]

13. Tell him that it's better to be pissed off

than pissed on.:)
