oh wait...your talking about cussing....
yeah i do...more than most actually.....it been a part of my vocab for quite some years...like since i was around 4 or 5....
Yep...my mom told me around then that i could cuss if i wanted to as long as it wasnt around any adults....so i took that and ran with it...
also....off the topic a little....my sister's first word was dammit....and she used it properly......we even got it on video...i HAVE to find that..

I swear only when I get super angry. When I get like that, I lose my common sense, but I still have some not to go any farther then throwing "scare swears".

Mr.Kirby May 22nd, 2009 11:25 AM

Very, very, v e r y rarely on the internet. Practically never in real life.

I've grown accustom to hearing people curse at public school, I was little private school girl before, so no cursing there. After being around people who swear over every little thing, you realize how stupid it sounds. I've heard some guy curse out a pencil because he broke it. Twice. Now someone tell me that's necessary.

It depends on who I am talking to. If I'm talking to my grandmother then it is unlikely. If I'm playing an annoying game of Call of Duty with my friends then I probably will.

Aziza May 22nd, 2009 12:08 PM

If I get angry, I swear a lot.
Someone has actually commented on how much I swear.

Sylphiel May 22nd, 2009 12:39 PM

If I'm angry/upset, then I'm especially prone to doing so - but only if I'm alone or in the company of people who I know won't mind me using some questionable words.

Other than that, I might let a few mild words slip into my speech at times (again, only around people I know won't mind), but that's about the extent of it.

Retro Bug May 22nd, 2009 1:19 PM

I do it all the time. Actually I sometimes don't even realize I'm doing it. But I mostly swear when I'm angry or upset, otherwise I have appropriate language. I only swear around people of my generation anyway.

레트로 May 22nd, 2009 1:22 PM

What the **** is wrong with swearing? Honestly, society today has beefed up the word **** to some sort of taboo.

Well actually no, this only holds true in suburbia. >_>;

I consider swearing to be the same thing as speaking, to be honest.

agreed with this guy. a word is a word, it's not like they can kill somebody.

Occasionally, I suppose, when I've got a good reason to
Though at school, since the teachers have like...language radar, I'll just be like, "BY GOSH AND GOLLY" in place of what I really want to say. Then I get a few weird stares D: Then my friends call me a freak, even though they're joking.

Nnoitra Jiruga May 22nd, 2009 6:29 PM

I do swear. Sort of some influence from mah friends who are guys and happen to swear alot. x D

Snivi May 22nd, 2009 8:23 PM

I do on occasion....like when driving and someone does something stupid.

Gerri Shin May 22nd, 2009 8:25 PM

I try my hardest not to, though if something really irks me or I'm in pain I can't help but fall onto that old habit.

Lana. May 22nd, 2009 8:35 PM

I say 'damn' and the 's' word quite a bit, but I otherwise try to refrain. Hearing the f-bomb every other word in the lunch line makes you tired of hearing it, so you're certainly not going to say it. But I've grown used to it. I have this built-in mindset where I never curse around my parents. I don't say 'freakin,' 'sucks,' 'crap/crud,' nothing. It's just an instinct. I replace damn/crap with dang or darn, sucks with stinks, and freakin' with goshdarn.

... *feels like a prude*

Michii May 22nd, 2009 8:35 PM

The day that I don't swear at all is the day that Piloswine Flu turns out to be Mukubird Flu in disguise.

Sokai May 22nd, 2009 8:40 PM

No.
I hate hearing people curse.
It's so vulgar and unnecessary to hear.
I sometimes use 'hell' or 'damn' when I want to make a point.
The worst I use is 'ass'.
I only seriously curse (meaning, the f-bomb and 's' word) when I'm extremely angered.
So all in all, I just stick with 'heck', 'dang' or 'darn', 'freaking', and 'crap'.

Eucliffe May 22nd, 2009 8:41 PM

Hell yeah =D *shot*

[AGELIMIT]13+ year-olds[/AGELIMIT]

Spoiler:
Although I try to keep it limited. I'm more prone to saying things like "damn", "sh*t", "b*tch", "bastard", "a*s", and, of course "hell". I'll occasionally use the "f-bomb", but only on MSN. Oh, and I'll never use derogatory words (like the ones for male and female genitals or the ever-so-racial word for an African American) no matter what.

And, irl, I'll only limit myself to "damn", "b*tch" (especially when it comes to my slow computer >.>), and "hell". Maybe an occasional "sh*t", but not likely ^^'


I honestly don't like to swear. Pay no mind to my first few words at the top; that was a lie D= I usually do it when I'm mad, though. Or when something good happens XD It's a bad habit, really~

>Feelings< May 22nd, 2009 11:02 PM

Rarely. But lately, it's really taking over my normal way of talking...

white lancer May 22nd, 2009 11:34 PM

I don't really swear, and never in casual conversation. When I start swearing, it's a sign that I'm REALLY pissed off (but that doesn't happen often, and even then, I usually control myself).

Ayano Katagiri May 23rd, 2009 12:30 AM

I try to avoid it when I can, since I personally don't like it when someone else swears - especially when it's for absolutely no reason at all.

Sushi. May 23rd, 2009 6:02 AM

I swear, but not all the time for most days.
I usually swear if I'm upset of some kind of video game. >.<

It was on that same day that I decided I'd prove him wrong by using as much adjectives as I could when talking to him, and I've sorta grown outta the habit of using bad language.

So true. Why swear if you can use other words?

I never swear. And I even try to correct people when they do. Well, because of the environment I grew up, I only use one swear in my whole life. Then I figured out that it was a swear. (How can I be so ignorant for 12 years!?) I tried to shrug it off, because it's my official trademark. People know me for that, though I think subconsciously it really bothered me because I found myself not swearing anymore.

Ho-Oh May 23rd, 2009 6:43 PM

I type swear words lots online but IRL, especially around family, I'm innocent as far as swearing goes.

TwilightBlade May 23rd, 2009 6:48 PM

Online, I sometimes swear just for the kicks. Offline, I do not swear, which is amazing, as everyone around me does.

Blue_Drifblim May 23rd, 2009 7:00 PM

Nope. Swearing doesn't do anybody any good, simple as that. I see no point in it. Actually, I went to get my hair cut today, and it seems like everybody and their grandmother was cursing nonstop. I mean really; there were children younger than me in there! Don't they have any manners or respect? The whole time I was there I was trying to tune them out. I try not to let that stuff get into my mind and think about it, because what comes in is definitely going to come out.
