So, just how much do you swear?
 
You know, "naughty words". How much do you swear?

Me? Ever hear the term "swear like a sailor"? I swear more than that. Try and imagine that. I swear way too often but am still able to hold my tongue when speaking to someone I should be respecting, though that goes out the window if I'm pissed enough or even mildly aggravated.

I think this thread is fine since there are censors for "naughty words". Unless someone starts bypassing the censor.

Irl I swear about as often as any 16 year old.(Which is pretty often.) When I text close friends I cuss about 5 times more. And when talking to people I dont know or talking to people on the internet I cuss only when its completely necessary.

I won't usually swear, unless I'm like realllly pissed off. It won't just be swearing for the sake of swearing, which I think occurs more often than necessary. x)

I swear a lot...or at least that's what I think. I swear verbally on occasion and I do so constantly when I'm pissed. When typing, I rarely swear, unless I'm mad. If you want an example of my swearing, go check my twitter. :P

I never swear in front of my parents, though. I got used to not swearing with them, idk why. I'm such an angel. lol

Why in flipping **** are you asking me this? I don't curse unless I'm LIVID, or trying to make a ****ing point.

...okay, livid engines are off. I really don't swear that much unless I'm extremely angry, or emphasizing a certain thing. It's not uncommon for me, really. I'm trying to get better... especially with censoring that stuff xD

Plumpyfoof October 17th, 2012 9:26 PM

Sometimes I swear without realising, I told a customer fml but with real words and got in trouble by my manager. I actually had no idea that I swore at him.
Swearing is just part of culture where I am, if someone really important is around or rich people I try my best to not swear but it just falls out sometimes.

alisaie October 17th, 2012 9:30 PM

Usually only when I'm angry. When I'm not I try to use other alternatives because GASP they do exist still.

The Grubby Pup October 17th, 2012 10:25 PM

yeah, I curse and stuff, when I'm around peoples I just happen hang around; or in layman's term my buds. My siblings, as well.

...But not in places where you should respectable at...I've been raised better than that.

Seki October 17th, 2012 10:49 PM

I don't really swear, but when I do, I'm really angry.

LegendaryMohawk October 17th, 2012 11:15 PM

Quite a bit, especially when talking to a close friend - don't really mean what we say, it's just our way of bonding :)

But when in public... it doesn't really change, I probably should hold my tongue when around kids and that but sometimes it just comes out without my knowing :/

And don't even get me started on when I'm s*** faced :P

curiousnathan October 17th, 2012 11:23 PM

I don't swear that often, and I've been brought up not to swear; but occasionally I do out of frustration or anger. I prefer not to though.

Captain Fabio October 18th, 2012 12:20 AM

I have been known to swear a fair bit. I only swear around friends though, not family members. :)


Wateria October 18th, 2012 12:26 AM

I only swear if I mess up in a Video game or If someone has upset my day.

Firox October 18th, 2012 12:53 AM

Even at my angriest I don't swear, I just take in a deep breath of fresh air, and just listen to music. No reason to be angry at others if something they said or did offended me.

I only time I swear is if the 'swearing' is part of the lyrics of a song, or movie/tv show.

Olli October 18th, 2012 5:22 AM

When we talk online, I can hardly even recall a time where I've sworn just over the past year, but it's also easier to control when you can read what you're typing before sending it out to everyone. IRL, it's a bit harder to control, but I still don't really swear much. When I'm upset about something, I tend to throw out a swear or two, but it's still not that often.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I do happen to swear quite a bit and I can see how it might compromise one's professional appearance so I am working to curb that.

Mario The World Champion October 18th, 2012 10:14 AM

I swear A LOT. Like the Angry Video Game Nerd said at the end of one video, there should be new curse words.

Sandshrew4 October 18th, 2012 12:28 PM

Four words for ya. Never. Sworn. In. My. Life. @%$#^ thats five. Nah, anyway, the only time I ever said any swearword was when I was talking to my little cousin in my "baby voice" and said sit. Only it didnt sound like sit. But, as for that, nope.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly October 18th, 2012 12:32 PM

I swear around friends a fair amount. Also, when I'm angry I'll silently swear under my breath.

I have an extremely good filter, however, so it's easy for me not to swear around family/little kids/whoever I don't feel comfortable swearing around.

Also, I used to swear a lot when I was a little kid, as my father would swear at the cats to stop being annoying and stuff, so I picked it up. But, after my conservative neighbors got mad at me/sent me home for swearing (I was friends with their kids) I went into an anti-swear mode up until middle school. Yay!

I agree. There should be new curse words.

I never swear around young ones or family, but I'll toss around a profanity here and there if I am frustrated or if I am joking around friends.

I won't swear at my job nor in front of someone I need to impress for whatever reason. Everywhere else though... totally fair game.

Depends on the job, IMO. I dont think swearing in front of customers is right, but when you're at an office job working on something for 2-3 hours and your computer crashes or a file corrupts because the graphics card just decided to bug out or something.. yeah muttering a swear under your breath or declaring that the computer is pile of junk is probably gonna happen.

Squirrel October 18th, 2012 3:06 PM

****ing loads I swear quite a lot tbh, more so in real life than online. It's easier to be controlled online so there's less need to swear, but most of my offline friends swear a lot anyway so it's just kind of the norm in our group haha.

Nick October 19th, 2012 8:31 AM

I swear all the time. Swearing are just words. I don't agree with the negative context they're given.
