Cursing

[JetGirl]

An opinion poll... choose which applies and tell why.

 

[churchmouse]

Depends on what where when and who.

 

[Snapdragon]

I'm the opposite of a social curser. Mostly at home (and INGO counts as home).

 

[jd4320t]

Depends on what where when and who.

exactly.

 

[CTS]

Pretty much never, at least not since the teenage "I want to sound cool" days. Generally speaking I think it needlessly offends some and there are usually better ways to express yourself.

I have gotten much better about my swearing since becoming a Dad. My wife, OTOH, has taught the boy every dirty word he knows. :o

I've worked in a Steel Mill for 30 years! You have to drop the F bomb at least every 10 minutes or they write ya up for poor work habits! I try very hard to not cuss at home. I fail miserably. It's actually one of the things I'm really going to work on now that I'm retired. My kids who are 24 and 21 never cuss, I'm proud of that.

Exactly. The kid who puts the wrong condiments on my sandwich at Burger King is a far different thing than doing something injurious and painful (although strangely enough, I don't recall letting loose any language Monday when I did enough injurious and painful to be taken to the hospital with surgery to follow including but not necessarily limited to next week).

Very rarely. Zig Ziglar talked about that in a book or a talk, i forget now, and he
was saying how it basically shows a lack of vocabulary.(and/or ignorance)
Obviously this isn't true 100% of the time but, I get the point.
I don't recall much if any at all in How To Win Friends And Influence People Either.

Around kids/professional settings/general public/anytime I'm supposed to be more..."proper"...etc., I pretty much keep a firm clamp on the potty mouth.
But when I'm with my bestie or in my own home, I have a love affair with the "F" word in its nine glorious parts of speech.
Curiously, I don't use it as a staple of angry vocabulary... I'm much more inventive than that.

And now people who've met me in real life are all confused and scratching their heads...

I can use the "F" bomb to fit most occasions. Depends on what I am doing, who I am doing it with, where we are doing what ever it is we are doing.

But what about our first meeting? I think I heard the F(er) bomb muttered under your breath at my mention that "I was told you could recommend a Glock for me". I'm not sure whether I heard it or not... your cohort was laughing too loudly for me to know for sure.

 

[Snapdragon]

I use the F word casually and the Sh word even more casually and the C word never. But get me good and mad, or good and hurt, and you'll hear the loudest "G**dammit!" you've ever heard.

 

[Suprtek]

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me. I can also assure you that all my emails have been hopelessly lost and are unrecoverable.

 

[SERparacord]

I really don't think that it is any of your ******* business!

 

[femurphy77]

Working on the car words! Even the dogs know when it's best not to be around!

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

Social- Work, friends, by myself, in the garage, or when I f% $& something up. I try my best to not curse around or at my wife or around or at the kid.

 

[Hkfiend]

Comes with the territory with being a grunt for 9 years. I've gotten better at not doing it so much, but it comes out a lot when I get heated

 

[CathyInBlue]

America! (F' yeah!)

About every ****ing day. The **** never gets ****ing old.
