Do you swear?

[yoda313]

So do you swear in real life? Or are you just a forum swearer?? Do you swear at all???

As you know doubt have guessed I don't swear. Well the occasional whisper now and then But generally I don't.

[gadgetguy]

I voted no, but I'm a closet swearer. I try not to swear in public and never in front of children or my mother. But I've been known to utter the occasional swear word now and then.

[hudsonf]

I swear if and when the situation calls for it. I didn't vote because I don't swear all the time.

[3Simon7]

What kind of f***ng poll is this?

It's bad enough that some ***hole cut me off
on the g***mn freeway when I was going to the
g*****mn store to buy some f***ing cheesepuffs. Then
some d***head doesn't have the right f***ing amount
of g***amn money, so I pulled out my g***mn wallet
and gave the pe****head a f***ing g***mn dollar
to pay for his f***ing g***mn crap.

By the way Yoda, what was the question?!!

[yoda313]

Nice restraint 3simon7

[Epicurus8a]

Only when I'm pissed off. EXAMPLES: 1. At my boss (when he's not around). 2. At morons who shop at Wal-Mart (under my breath). 3. At freeway snipers, child molestors and other A holes.

[Faustus]

Never. not one ******* time in my entire life.

[ZAPPER]

Yes. It is a bad habbit. I am a low life and I hang with low lifes. It has gone beyond useing it as punctuation and well into everyday/everysentence use.

"All right! Who took my f***ing hammer?" "What do you mean it F***ing slipped?" "Look here you stupid Mother F***er, you were suposed to do it like this."

It is a bad habbit amoung construction workers. Most of the time it has almost no added value to the conversation nor is it meant in true disrespect. If a guy is a screw up we tell him that he is a screw up in no uncertian terms. If it was a bitch of a day, we say so. It also has a certian value as a stress reliever.

I don't generally cuss too much in other more civil settings, but it does sometimes slip out. I assume that with a casual tone that it may even go unnoticed or that it is often understood that without influxuation in my tone that it is not always meant as a complete derogative (Spell check please), Just an example of my ignorance.

If I slip up in casual conversation please do not be too offended. But if I am screaming and sticking my finger in your face there is a good chance that it is for a reason.

It is a bad habbit, I apologize.

[b1tchm4gn3t]

Like I give a **** to even repond to this fuckin poll

[Abbadon]

I never swear in English, it doesn't sound right, but I do it in Spanish:

1. Maldita sea !

2. Coño !

3. Carajo !

There is more power in those words.

[teegee420]

I grew up around several world champion swearers. It's only natural that I chose to continue their legacy.

[lordsmurf]

They're just words.

To labeling it "swearing" or "cussing" or "bad words" has always been so stupid. Just listen to George Carlin on this topic.

I do find it humorous how some people will be a complete jerk or bitch and refuse to cooperate or outright just not pay attention. But as soon as you add the word "****" to your conversation, they suddenly change demeanor and start to help you or pay attention. How the hell does that work? I've experienced this wacky phenomena in stores many times through the years, usually when trying to talk with customer service.

Usually, when I get offended, it's because of what somebody says, the content and meaning, not the words they use. You can use the sweetest words on the planet and be the most vulgar son-of-a-bitch ever. Terrorists and religous zealots come to mind.

[G)-(OST]

**** oath I do

[lumis]

I do "normal" cursing, but I also enjoy using unconventional curse words as well, and I also enjoy making up curse words and combining curse words in unusual ways.

[Conquest10]

I usually don't.

[Supreme2k]

Two choices should have been:

1 Heck yes!

3. **** No!

[hech54]

Swearing is only a "big deal" in America....
I swear occasionally...always have. Some people swear just to be a dick or to try to prove something or to look cool in front of their buddies.
There is nothing cool about swearing....and there is nothing wrong with swearing....they are just words.
If you use FVCK as every other word....you just sound stupid...but replace that word with any other word...you'll sound just as stupid.

[träskmannen]

Of course I do, a correctly and consciously used curse puts the right emphasis on what you want to say. It should of course be used in a slightly restrictive way, I seldom refer to genitalia in business meetings... and never in writing.

Routine swearing is just a bad habit, but so is any other phrase that is used unconsciously.

[gll99]

You have no option for no not at all for the perfect people.

Swear words vary by culture or language. In some religions physical articles used in worship are also used as swear words and have greater shock value to believers than some of the words used here.

Some people might consider insults like "she's a bitch" to be swearing. So it depends if you mean what we used to call "any and all speech never to be used in mixed company".

Also there is no time point reference here. Do you mean now or ever?

I swore in my teens but not in front of females of all ages. About 15 to 20 years ago, I swore "Put up or shut up you F*****G B****RD" and nearly punched a guy out who went too far but he ran off when his big mouth finally got me riled. The swearing was for emphasis with a guy who swore a blue streak and soft speak just didn't work with him. Speaking nicely seemed to make him feel more in a position of power than he really was and I finally got fed up. I think my pride got in the way because people stopped to watch and the adrenaline just peaked. Unfortunately because I didn't get to hit anything although I tried not to let it show externally, it took me quite a while to restore my calm. I know I swore a few more times under my breath.
Even writing about this brought back a bit of the emotion.

During most of my adult life, I might say: What the heck? when startled but that's as close as I come to swearing. I know some people who even consider this to be improper speech.

Bum Poo Wee !!!

If you use FVCK as every other word....you just sound stupid...but replace that word with any other word...you'll sound just as stupid.

Smurf the smurf up. Smurfing mother-smurfer.

[3Simon7]

Lick my plumbing.

[ViRaL1]

Only when I talk.

[SquirrelDip]

You don't clean your plumbing?

[SquirrelDip]

It's my soap, it's my plumbing. I can wash it as long or as often as I like.

[Doramius]

I don't swear. I even edit my own explicatives. In real life you couldn't even catch a real profanity come out of my mouth. I have my own words. I'll use friggin', heck, shtick, dagnit (not a typo), etc.

Even then I really don't use them that often. Maybe if I get frustrated. I'm one of those people that can use other words when I'm pissed off and stress the point I was making and have people listen to me. I too feel it's content that truly causes offence to a person and not the actual words. However, I hear so many people use these words for good and bad that sometimes I can't tell the difference. Some people sound like their angry all the time, even when they're talking nice, that you can't always go by tone. And sometimes they are so overused, that when someone uses it to stress stronger importance about something, the meaning is lost.

I could care less if people use profanity, but there are so many other words out there to express yourself. Use profanity when the situation calls for it. Otherwise it becomes child banter, like poopy & caca. Just a word that makes a child feel like they can talk like an adult, when really it just shows they are a child overusing a simpleton word.

[zzyzzx]

**** yeah!
