Do you cuss like a sailor? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

YzermanS19 · 10-11-2003, 01:06 PM

I didn't notice it until last night, but sitting around at my friends house playing a drinking game, I realized I swear entirely too much.

The first rule of the game that was made was "everytime you cuss, you have to take a drink".

So, here I am, and woops I say "fuck".....someone catches me and I drop the GD bomb as I take a swig, then I say "shit" when I realize I have to drink another. So thats three drinks for one initial fuck up.

So now I'm more conscious about it today, and I do swear an awful lot. Luckily, its only around close friends and not so much around the older people or girls so much. I find I can bite my tongue then.

So what about you? Do you cuss like a sailor?

Note: I searched the forums and didn't see any topic like this, if I missed something, lock this one.

ziadel · 10-11-2003, 01:15 PM

yupp, I swear almost every other fucking word. literally.

doesn't bother me or anyone I give two shits about one bit.

krwlz · 10-11-2003, 01:18 PM

"Know you're audience" Thats all I have to say.

SecretMethod70 · 10-11-2003, 01:46 PM

No, but my newest roommmate does, and it's really annoying. Of course, that could be because he's entirely disrespectful about it - listening to him refer to someone he just slept with last night as "the bitch" isn't the most encouraging thing.

Juxtapozed · 10-11-2003, 01:49 PM

I tend to say fuck a lot.

"What the fuck?!"

"Fuck this shit"

"Fuck That shit"

"Fuck!!"

etc, etc, etc

flamingdog · 10-11-2003, 01:59 PM

everyone i know swears like navvies. but the important thing is you stop when you're addressing the boss, or when you're on the phone to someone important.

ubertuber · 10-11-2003, 02:04 PM

This is something I have been trying to reduce. When I swear, it isn't even conscious - just slips out. When I write, it doesn't occur to me to include swearing, so it isn't part of how I express myself. I think it just takes a little attention.

LaughingCow · 10-11-2003, 02:08 PM

Yes, I swear WAY to much even for just being around friends. I can usually hold back if I have to, but it takes a lot of effort.

It gets to be a problem too, because one of my friends is christian, and while he doesn't mind my toned down swearing I use around him, if we ever see his friends(who are all church goers) most don't appreciate if I slip and say 'Jesus Fucking Christ!' when something crazy happens or I get pissed.

It's just a bad habbit for me, but most of my family and friends swear too, so it's hard to stop.

lurkette · 10-11-2003, 02:13 PM

I swear way too much. I've tried to be more conscious of it but when I hurt myself or find out some bad news my initial reaction is a string of profanities that sometimes shock even Ratbastid, who's lived with this for 12 years.

ninety09 · 10-11-2003, 02:25 PM

I'll swear every now and then when I'm with some good friends. Otherwise, never.

Gortexfogg · 10-11-2003, 02:32 PM

Not too much like a sailor, I just swear when I mess something up or need to "express" myself really well. I really try not to, but that usually ends in me going "Shit!... I mean shoot!" Also, when I injure myself, I swear like a zillion sailors.

Mostly I just think it's cute.

Yesterday an item at the grocery store rang up significantly higher than lurkette expected, and the first words out of her mouth (in front of cashiers, little old ladies, kids, God, and Everybody) was "Holy CRAP!"

I was giggling about that for an hour or so.

lurkette · 10-11-2003, 02:36 PM

"Crap" isn't a swear word. If I'd said "son of a bitch that's expensive" that would have been worth giggling over. Or "holy bleeding fuck!" Or "unfuckingbelievable!"

SiN · 10-11-2003, 02:41 PM

heh...i use swearwords just like any other, pretty much.

*i* don't think there's anything wrong with them...

...however, i've no problem refraining from 'profanity' in inappropriate situations either.

10-11-2003, 02:45 PM

i heard someone once say,"well shit god damn hell fuck"
when they got upset about something and that stcuk with me!
now i say it all the time!

i try to use the word cunt as much as possible too cause thats the greatest word in the english dictionary!
so ya,i guess i cuss like a mother fucker!

gwr_gwir · 10-11-2003, 03:52 PM

hell, I fuckin swear all the time around my friends when I'm not on the damn internet - I'm on the fuckin thing entirely way too damn much. shit. when I'm around the family, or other peoples (read: girls' dorms), I tend not to fuckin swear at all, or very very little when I do. though if you look around on the 'net (I forgot the link, twas from a while ago), there's a flash anim someone did for the monty python sketch "usage of the word 'fuck' ". very good stuff. "as almost every word in the sentence - fuck the fucking fuckers". hilarious fucking shit, that.

Baldrick · 10-11-2003, 04:15 PM

Depends who I'm with. I have a nasty habit of swearing too much, but thankfully I can turn it on and off at will. I sometimes swear like a trooper, and others times I use the "holy cow"'s and "tough luck"'s.

I'm always careful that I know who I'm swearing like a trooper around though. Once I know whether someone is offended by swearing or not, than I can decide whether to let the expletives fly.

CSflim · 10-11-2003, 05:15 PM

meh!...I swear as I see fit.

numberfive · 10-11-2003, 05:26 PM

I swear occasionally. Only time I swear a lot is when I'm joking around with friends. Like the day we included 'mo' fugga' in everything we could.

"Hey Jon, shut up. Stupid mo' fugga"

Yeah, we were hella gangsta yo.

hansthemolemann · 10-11-2003, 05:36 PM

I dont really swear that much

sailor · 10-11-2003, 07:11 PM

I am a sailor

spectre · 10-11-2003, 07:24 PM

Abso-fucking-lutely, but I can control myself when I need to. No matter how articulate you are, if you curse a lot, people tend to take your opinions less seriously.

ARTelevision · 10-11-2003, 07:26 PM

less and less.
so when I do, it means something's up.

Hash_Browns · 10-11-2003, 09:32 PM

I do on a regular basis, but like most, am capable of 'turning it off' when need be...a friends fav. line is 'Shitgoddamn' and I use that a lot when I hurt myself...

Destrox · 10-11-2003, 09:38 PM

Just know who your talking to.

And yes i do

Zerakule · 10-11-2003, 10:44 PM

I swear way too much. It's gotten me in trouble, but I can keep it in line when i'm talking to my girlfriend or family members..most of the time.

Lunchbox7 · 10-11-2003, 11:41 PM

I only swear when Im injured or angry.

canuckguy · 10-12-2003, 05:20 AM

i try not to, but sometimes, you just need to use a cuss word

Sleepyjack · 10-12-2003, 06:06 AM

Only in the right company/audience.

Somtimes using too much profanity makes you appear a little dumb though, so there is some moderation of it.

tikki · 10-12-2003, 07:05 AM

I used to, but I am working on it. Every third word use to be an f-bomb, but I think with age I am getting out of it.

Bamrak · 10-12-2003, 08:03 AM

Yes. I cuss a lot. I cuss most when I'm gaming.. a friend and I usually talk on the phone while we play, and we're usually barking GD or fuck about every 45 seconds or so when we die.. I usually have no issues containing it in public or at work.

yoshi · 10-12-2003, 08:12 AM

I do swear a lot. I contain myself in certain situations though. It's just so easy and the words just come out.

Moskie · 10-12-2003, 08:19 AM

I swear a lot also. My parents never reprimanded me for swearing, I've been doing it since I was really young. But I never got in trouble for it at school or whatever. I knew when and where I could swear, namely when I was alone with my family.

Funny story about me cussing as a kid too. So I'm five years old, and I'm in the car with my family. We drive by the house of a girl in my kindergarten class (I recognize it since it's where she gets off the school bus). Her name's Katie. I don't like Katie very much. I say, to no one in particular, "Hey, that's where Katie lives!" I then proceed to roll down my window, stick my hand out, raise the middle finger, and scream "Fuck you, Katie!!" at the top of my lungs.

My parents, in the front seat, each have a smirk on their face. They look at one another, sort of baffled. My dad turns to me and asks, "Son, why'd you do that?"

"She's a bitch!"

True story.

bermuDa · 10-12-2003, 09:32 AM

not around kids, but I am fluent in the language of longshoremen. I do have more restraint these days though...

they swear a lot in that link, so I dunno if you should play it at work, but it's 100% true

skysooner · 10-12-2003, 02:30 PM

Yeah I do at times although I'm pretty careful around the kids and at work. Our boss, in particular, gets offended by bad language, so it pays to be careful.

Holo · 10-12-2003, 02:41 PM

I swear tons, as does my gf. We swear freely around our kid and she is well aware that those are "grown-up" swear words and she can say "Kid" swear words like crap or dork or doofus, etc. I really try not to be a hypocrite to my child...I want her to know who I am besides Daddy. I think that's a problem with many families....they don't let their kids learn who they are as ppl and keep this facade of another person that hides their humanity.
My kid has never sworn in public or embarrased us by picking up our "bad" habits. She understands the words are for grown-ups and she doesn't use them.

Does he know my husband? Because he refers to his own father as "The Bitch" and just about every female, also, which may be why we're divorcing.....but anyhoo, i never swore until I met my husband, God's honest truth, and now that I'm with an old freind of mine, he's found it rather Twilight-esque that i now swear like a sailor, but he's learning to cope.
