I do a lot.

Vote or die!

Yes, I'm quite vulgar...

Depends on the company

This is important actually, I never swear around my parents for example.

Depends on the company, usually when nessicary. I do find it irritating when people use "FUCK" as every other word in a sentence.

I swear in the majority of my speech. Only in public do I lessen my swearing to the Lite version.

I don't swear for the sake of it, but I do swear quite a lot, I suppose.

Most of the time it's simply expletive... there is no replacement for 'shit!' in my experience. Nothing else is as descriptive. Maximum communicated meaning in a minimum of wording.

'Fuck', of course, is renowned as being one of the most versatile words on the planet, with it and its derivatives being deployed as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, sometimes all in one sentence. I'm sure someone will be along soon with a link to one of the many expositions of the word that litter the web... some of them are quite amusing.

:)

Because this is supposedly a PG board, I'll have to put it in high-brow:

Fornicate the fornicating fornicators.

'nuff said.

I was probably average, but spent some formative years as a labourer and was fucked thereafter.

I curse enough in writing that cursing out loud is completely unnecessary. Why, I can hit my F-bomb quota for the day in one post if I'm upset enough, and there's no need to swear out loud, even during sex.

Fucking never, you ****.

I say "fuck" a lot, along with every other "bad" word. It's partially just the result of my environment. Use of words doesn't offend me. If you use it stupidly though, you sound annoying.

But there is no difference to me between saying "like" every other word and saying "fucking" every other word. Equally bad.

My favorite thing is when Christians get offended when I say "goddamn". Once I explained it to him just because I was annoyed and felt like it.

"I am asking the lazy ass omnipotent god I don't believe in, to damn this person because I think they're a ****. Comprende?"

All the fucking time...unless I'm talking to like a teacher or someone...

Rarely. When I do I try to think of something creative, like "dagspewed".

My friend came crying to me today that her best friend hates her now. I asked her why, and she said that the girl thinks that she made her boyfriend start saying "****". So I asked "Why the fuck does she care if her boyfriend says ****?", and she was like "I DONT FUCKING KNOW!!!"

Trailer Trash High is without a doubt a fucked up place.

I create combos, but they're usually quite vulgar. If you're around me and the type of person to observe everything about me, you'll notice I say "Jesusfuck" a lot.

Verbally? Almost never, unless I stub my toe or forget something, and that's always under my breath.

Mentally? In every sentence.

I swear a lot if I am angry, but avoid bad expletives. For example: I normally don't say: 'this piece of shit' but 'this piece of Windows ME'.

I would never fucking swear. Thats some fucked up shit and I don't know why anyone would want to do that shit. It just makes people look like assholes. :p

god a fuck christ
is another good combo.

jesus fuck a christ

god piss damn a fuck

etc....
usually only when i'm online and alone.

I swear creatively and often. I have serious beef with people who dislike swearing. There is abso-fucking-lutely no reason why ANY word should be considered "bad". None.

Around my friends, quite a lot. In public or around people I don't personally know, I keep my mouth shut because I know I'll say something dumb as hell.

I am physically unable to swear. Even when I'm ****ing typing I am literally unable to get the ****y keyboard to put a God**** swear word on the ****ing screen. See? **** it!

EDIT: Actually, that's not entirely true. One word, which I learned from my half-Polish mother, is psia krew. (It's pronounced the way it looks, except the "w" sounds like "v.") It literally means "dog's blood."

Very rarely. Adding swears to a sentence that would have meant pretty much the same thing without the swears is pointless noise. Besides, many Swedish swears are different names for the devil and even though I'm a Christian I still find it silly to yell at the devil every time you're upset about something or just want to add a little punch to what you're saying. But when speaking English I do swear sometimes to fill in the gaps when my lacking English vocabulary runs out of words. I don't have any problem with others swearing.

S--t slips out about once per week. Trying to get rid of it.

If someone has to swear it shows a lack of class.

I believe the last time I swore was 4 years ago. So, I put "almost never", as the never option ticked me off.

All the fucking time...unless I'm talking to like a teacher or someone...

If you can hold it sometimes, why can't you hold it all of the time?

Actually, swearing can add to a sentence:

If something is good, you can say it's bloody good.

Shit is a great noun, verb, adverb, and adjective (use it in a sentence, kiddies!).

But yes, I will agree that swearing every third word shows a lack of ability to come up with something better.

If someone has to swear it shows a lack of class.

Fuck class. Swearing is often keenly expressive, and that's what matters.

If you can hold it sometimes, why can't you hold it all of the time?

Because not every situation is exactly the same? What kind of question is that?

Swearing is best when it makes absolutely no sense.

For example, if I'm pissed at someone named George, I will refer to him as George McFuckity-Fuck-Fuck.

This makes no sense on any level, but is deeply satisfying.

the things that pass for swears around here are hilarious.....I use words like "crap" and "idiot" and "freaking" and people many times have told me to "watch my language"........to which I reply "what the fuck did you just say to me bitch?!" and they die......which is hilarious.

actually, I don't really count how many times I curse. I don't think words are good or bad, only appropriate and inappropriate depending on setting and intent. It's inappropriate for me to call my husband a fuckface because it's rude and disrespectful and it's not warranted, however I can call the person who cut me off in traffic a fuckface because they were acting like one. There is also the question of setting. I do not use words in certain settings that I would in others, very similar to how I don't discuss politics, religion, business or children at business dinner......no matter how much I feel like the president is a dick or how hilarious the story about my 4 year old singing a song about genitalia at the top of her lungs at the grocery store is......it's inappropriate in that setting. Thirdly you should say what you mean and mean what you say. Therefore when I say that the kids need to get their crap out of my living room, what I mean is "get your crap out of my living room", I do not mean "stuff" or "things" or "belongings", I mean crap......misc. things I am not interested in having around me.

I used to swear a ton in elementary school, up until I was like, 12 years old. But then it got old, and I sorta started to associate it with being a little kid. I don't now, anymore, but I never really got back in the habit.

because I don't want to...

define swears, why are those words worse than any others?

doesn't intent make the difference?

There are special cases, but usually the only swearing I do is of the "aw fuck" or 'aw shit" variety when something craptastically bad happens.

doesn't intent make the difference?

Obviously what is a swear word is defined by society. "Bloody" means nothing in the US except maybe someone is an English tourist.

Very seldom does swearing accomplish the intent. People just don't respond in a positive way to swearing. If someone wants me to get out of their way in traffic the last thing they should do is swear or "flip me off". I'll just hang in front of them and keep them blocked. (did that for 40 miles one time) The same is true in any situation. Don't remember a time when swearing convinced anyone of anything.

Now I do have the S--T! problem when something suddenly happens. It just comes out with no thought. But after that first burst I can control myself and put myself in a better position to be aided by others.

I really see no need of swearing in print. It is a matter of what Aristotle called "ethos" or the reputation of the person. A person that doesn't swear has a good reputation with everyone. A person that swears may have a few allies but turns off the majority they are trying to persuade.

A lot but a lot less than I used to, I've done well cutting back. I still reserve the right to use racial slurs though :).

I don't give a fuck how often or little someone swears. But anyone who censors words they type on the internet pisses me the fuck off.

Who the fuck types like this: f---ing s--t c--t b-tch? If you don't want to swear while typing, then don't say the words at all, don't censor yourself like a douchebag does.

It depends. It may not have a place in a debate, but it may work well in literature or poetry if used properly. Once again, if you don't want to swear in your posts, that's fine, but just don't type the word at all.

Nothing annoys me fucking more than reading "F--K!"

You do not reserve that right, you kike :p

There once was a man from Nantucket...

Fuck is a recognized unit of weight. A fuck, is approximately 72 lbs.

You see my chemistry professor was moving a projector piece last month and proclaimed that is was "heavy as fuck." My colleagues and I weighed this item and found that it was 72 lbs. As consequence, I am no longer a 152 lbs individual, I now prefer to record my weight as 2.11 fucks.

also, a dumb fuck is 7.2*10^2 and a sick fuck is 7.2*10^3.

I used to curse a lot but then one time for lent i stopped cursing, and i haven't really ever since. It also makes you sound a lot more serious.

I do a lot.

Vote or die!

Good poll choices!

I swear whenever necessary. In other words, I ran out of curses years ago.

I've since moved onto mixing unusual anecdotal curses with metaphors.

I'm at combining as many profanities as I can into one sentence. And using random German words.

Makes me think often & fondly about WYTYG. She's muttered a few at me. :p

I swear a lot if I am angry, but avoid bad expletives. For example: I normally don't say: 'this piece of shit' but 'this piece of Windows ME'.

:eek: Now I have to wash out my eyes!
Myself, I stick to cursing.

I do a lot.

Vote or die!

It depends, for me. When I'm talking with my roommate or other friends, a lot. When I'm at work sorting mail in the office, almost not at all. When I'm at work on the road (delivering), somewhere in between.

But there is no difference to me between saying "like" every other word and saying "fucking" every other word. Equally bad.

Agreed

I used to use the word "bitch" a lot, but I seem to have gotten away from it. I shall have to increase my efforts to include the word "bitch" in daily conversation.
Maybe I'll try bitching at a few of bitches at work tomorrow.

Fuck you fucking fuckers!

I don't curse. Not even in my thoughts, although it's just a habit - I'm not especially polite. :p

Fuck you fucking fuckers!

I was about to be offended, but you garnished that beautiful sequence with the "you", and it kinda brightened my day. Broke the monotony of my insignificance.

I used to curse alot back in middle school. I've toned it down since then. Now I generally use profanity when I screw something up or if my brother is being an idiot.

I presume that we're distinguishing between swearing ("fuck") and the taking of the holy name ("Divine sufferin Jaysus")?

I swear so fucking much I cant stop my self from fucking swearing in this god dam forum about how much one person fucking swears:gundge:

Only for comedic or dramatic reasons, fuck head.

This made me giggle. :D

somebody send me a telegram and i will talk with you off the forum
And how do you fight and start wars? :headbang:

I find swearing rarely makes it so much more effective when I actually do

This is awesome. I may attempt to use this in my daily life.

I don't keep track.

Fuck it. :)

Pretty often, but I try to moderate it when I'm at work or with people I don't know well.

Shit is probably the best swear word IMO.
