What I mean is that words that previously would have been condemned as coming only from a fishwife have become part and parcel of everyday life.
'Often the wives and daughters of fishermen, fishwives were notoriously loud and foul-mouthed, as noted in the expression, To swear like a fishwife.'

Ah yes, as it was 1987-1990 profanities weren't so mainstream and as DS was only 10yrs it was a revelation that Mum knew so many rude words

It was uncomfortable and shook you all over. Can’t say it was top of my list for coasters but I had to still keep going on it for some strange reason.

I'm originally from Grimsby and, although neither my own nor my friends' are fishing families, I am a fishwife in that sense of the word. It's not big and it's not clever, but I haven't ever grown out of my childhood habit of swearing. Just about manage to hold it when in presence of my parents though!
Even tried hypnotherapy after I had my first child 17 years ago...
