Hmm now that I think of it, I don't think I've uttered a real curse word for a loooong time (ie: the f-word and friends). I might mention "bullshit" once every few weeks, (I didn't study my ass off for a B.S. in Computer Science for nothing :D) but otherwise my mouth is always sparkly clean :D

Why? I dunno.. I just never felt the need. I always found other ways of saying things without resorting to curse words.

Of course in my head, I mentally project plenty of obscenities at inanimate objects when they fail to operate as I expect them to (ie: "Yarrgh! Another paper jam! Fuck you, DeskJet, you fucking fuck!")

mrbuck12000 12-27-2003 06:04 PM

I swear all the friggin time. I don't understand what the big deal is anyway...they are just adjectives and nouns. why is it a big deal???

DonnieBoy 12-27-2003 09:51 PM

I swear a hell of alot... mostly while driving but im afraid if i am not cursing at you, I will be either:

A: Slamming my car into your car or...
B: Slamming on my brakes so your car slams in to mine... and mines a POS so i have no qualms about it.... or
C: My head will explode...

Like a mother fucking sailor. I have to make up for all the time at work where I can't swear. Shit on a shingle.

AnUnkind 12-28-2003 02:13 AM

I talk to myself a lot (shutup) and since it would be just plain silly to worry about offending myself when I speak I don't bother trying to censor myself... I try to avoid censoring myself whenever possible... yeah...

H12 12-29-2003 04:25 PM

10-20 for my dirty mouth. I can adjust to the situations to either cuss more or less and be comfortable, but it's fun to just cuss sometimes.

analog 12-29-2003 11:58 PM

I can talk at infinte length without using any curse words, foul language or suggestive dialogue, because that's how I was raised to talk with people you respect.

If, however, the people you're talking with are just your buddies, or your well-known coworkers, or even family you know are cool with it, then "respect" is not a factor. You are communicating with them on a level they are the most comfortable with. It's like wearing a tux at a formal occasion, and jeans & a t-shirt when you're just kickin' it. It all depends on the situation.

But that's just my opinion.

As for me, I curse A LOT when i'm with my friends and such, and I can be extremely vulgar. They curse, they feel comfortable with it, and they appreciate that I can feel comfortable enough around them to talk as I please- and I, them.

EDIT:

I also swear a lot during sex, and the intensity of my orgasm can be measured in the amount I curse. My ex (the one i was with for 3 years) knew this very well... the best orgasm I ever had, I was yelling and cursing (the thing lasted like almost a minute, no kidding) and towards the end of the wave, I yelled out, "YOU FUCKING CUNT!!!"

I NEVER use the word cunt. I hate it. HATE it. She knew this. (I also do not like the word 'twat', but that's besides the point)

She took it as the biggest compliment she's ever been paid. I freaked for several minutes after I said it, fearing I had fucked up irrevocably.

Next morning, I got a wake-up BJ, and she made me french toast. I fuckin LOVE french toast. :)

I would have to say in the 20 - 40 catagory, but sometimes I lose count. I don't try to swear, but some situations just call for the f word, or what ever. I don't go around swearing like a drunken sailor, but I can get pretty close if I'm out with the boys.

Peetster 12-30-2003 07:07 AM

It's great for occasional impact, but many people use it as a crutch for a weak vocabulary.

Try using some new fuckin' words. ;-)

matthew330 12-30-2003 12:07 PM

definately loose count - and 9 times outta 10 its "fuck", though i've been making a concerted effort (and it's working) to actually ennunciating " f 'ing" rather than the complete word. It's bad when they just flow out so naturally you cath yourself saying to your parents "yeah my day was okay, a little fucking boring".

Iliftrocks 12-30-2003 12:14 PM

I'm a foul mouthed jerk, and my kid is gettin an education. I really need to stop...........

01-07-2004 03:14 AM

I voted for 'I lose count' but would now like to clarify that. It depends on the place.
I think I have 3 seperate vocabularies - 1 for work (swear ALL the time, if I don't they don't think I am serious), 1 for home - very rarely and very carefully chosen, and 1 for when you are out with the boys- chuck one in now and then if the situation is right.
Frankley I can't stand swearing for the sake of it and would NEVER use 2 certain words in front of women or children.

Redlemon 01-07-2004 09:09 AM

Depends, is anyone else within earshot? I swear a lot if no one is around, but not at all if I'm talking to someone else. When I do swear, it is with full intention, and people who know me tend to be stunned and pay attention.

ledhead 01-07-2004 04:43 PM

i am sorry, but to me any girl that appears to be even semi descent, will just ruin her if she cusses. i am sorry to all you women out there that cuss, but most guys i know dont dig it, can you dig? that and the same thing go for smoking.

~springrain 01-07-2004 05:00 PM

i hate to admit that i curse like a sailor...
since my children have been born i've radically changed... but it's still there...
there simply isn't a word that sounds and feels as good to say as FUCK in many situations... *sheepish smile*

Yalaynia 01-07-2004 05:53 PM

I dont know I toned down a lot after my son got older and I caught him saying awe shit , fuck it, and son of a bitch....lol. At first you think its funny and start laughing without even thinking but I had to tell him to stop.

viper11885 01-07-2004 10:28 PM

Rarely for me. It depends on the situation though. But I usually find a different way to express myself :D

Prince 01-07-2004 10:55 PM

I sound like Tony Soprano a lot of the time...

splck 01-08-2004 06:38 AM

Not too fuckin often...that's for sure.

skysooner 01-08-2004 11:53 AM

It's likely less than 10, so I put let an occasional one slip. Sometimes it is none, sometimes it is 20. It all depends on how tired, pissed off, happy, etc. I am on a given day.

troit 01-08-2004 12:03 PM

I remember having this conversation in either TFP v.2 pr TFP v.3.

I'm to the point where unless I'm around people who are either at least a generation older than me (I'm 34) or very young -- then I do not even censor my language. Its my belief that these words do not hold the same connotations as they did 30 years ago. Perhaps I'm wrong. I'd be curious to hear the opinions of our members who fit it these categories...

legolas 01-08-2004 12:29 PM

I am one of those people who like to add "fuck" to every sentence when I can.

Slims 01-08-2004 07:19 PM

I swear like a sailor and I am having trouble breaking the habit.

My girlfriend doesn't swear, and I sometimes feel a little bad that I swear so much so I am trying to stop.

degrawj 01-08-2004 08:39 PM

kinda like tikki, i swear a bit a day. but i try to keep it down.

Tirian 01-08-2004 08:59 PM

It depends on if I'm headed into a meeting with the boss or heading out of a meeting with the boss.

mingusfingers 01-08-2004 09:25 PM

Used to more, not often now.

Sfizzio 01-09-2004 03:12 PM

More than I would like to; as Journeyman said, I'd rather have the correct words at my disposal than a blanket statement with a swear word.

ToiletDuck 01-09-2004 04:04 PM

I swear like a banshee at work but turn it off when i get home, little ears hear everything;)

A little classic for all to enjoy

tenchi069 01-09-2004 04:24 PM

Less than 5 a day here.

majik_6 01-09-2004 04:38 PM

It really depends on the situation.

There are people that know me (usually either people I've just met or family/friends that have known me for a VERY long time) that wouldn't believe that I could say such a filthy thing (though I accidently proved that I could in front of most of my family the other day...for details check Plan9's thread "Motivation" in health/fitness).

However, most friends, especially the ones back in West Virginia think I'm the bastard son of a longshoreman and a chain-smoking whore...based on my language, that is...

Sometimes I run into some conflicts, though, since I'm involved in the church as well as a religious band as well as the fact that I've been a professional children's entertainer since I was 9 or 10. Certain people get a particular image in their heads, and hearing me say a quick string of 5 or 10 consecutive fucks or seeing me light up a cigarette can break that image INSTANTLY, only because they don't know me as a moderate person, but as the "perfect lil' angel" that I must have been as a toddler or that my grandparents still tell everyone one that I am. Regardless of what I do, or how I usually behave, all it takes is that one slip-up for a lot of people to totally discredit me as a decent person. Quite sad, really.

When meeting new people, though (especially if I'm in my street clothes) I try to maintain a decently low level until they know the person I really am, since my appearance leads people to enough conclusions as it is.

So to sum it up, somedays never, sometimes always...I just kinda go with the mother fuckin' flow.

numist 01-09-2004 05:54 PM

Im with Journeyman on this one. Words should generally be carefully selected to get your point across most effectively, even if the aim is negative.

i have no fucking idea exactly how many swear words emit from my mouth per day. suffice it to say, more than plenty.

my momma taught me well & then i went on to surpass her french vocabulary ;)
as a child, growing up, i thought my father's, my brother's & my first names were all "gawddamnit", cuz usually mom prefixed our names with "gawddamnit". most often it was "gawddamnit" firstname middlename when she addressed the 3 of us.

Stiltzkin 01-10-2004 09:23 PM

What is "swearing"?

amonkie 01-10-2004 10:00 PM

I've always been on my friends when they swear too much, there's so many other words out there to use. I use the occasional when REALLY stressed out,angry or upset- I've found nothing else catches people's attention better when they're not used frequently.

dragonhawk 01-16-2004 12:33 PM

Reminds me of the old Steve Martin joke.

He dies, goes to Heaven.
"Oh, yea. This is Heaven?
So you know everything about me?
How many times did I take the Lord's name in Vain?
A Million Six!!!
Jesus Christ!"

or something like that :)

bonehed1 01-16-2004 01:41 PM

I let one slip all the time...its hilarious because I will be talking and for no reason I will just say $hit. It mostly happens when I sneeze. My wife says I say $hit when I sneeze.

hklong741 01-16-2004 01:54 PM

I know a little bit of another language, so that helps to cover things up, but usually I try to keep it at a minimum.

It's mainly for the effect. I agree, it is too often used as a crutch for a weak vocabulary, or just overdone for no reason. There's more than a few people that should think about it:

"Repetition is the weapon of choice for the mundane."

I like to use it rarely, therefore having some serious effect, and giving it a creative spin. "Your parents are gonna shit eggrolls." is a classic

gilada 01-16-2004 02:18 PM

Of course, if I'm playing a video game, all bets are off.

taliendo 01-16-2004 09:20 PM

I don't generally swear around my parents or grandparents. Some of my family I do; some I don't. I swear around nearly all my friends. . .I grew up swearing and hearing swears all the time, its a part of my heritage. :)

Kllr Wolf 01-16-2004 09:34 PM

I definatly cuss way more than I should. I am good at only letting one slip in certain company, otherwise it seems I lose track 10 minutes after waking up(mornings suck).
