Do you swear? (Warning - Swearing Included)

[sonofabeach]

absof*#kinlutely! as much as possible

[RinglingRingling]

no. never.

[Randy1278]

To continue my previous post, I say f**k as much as other people say words like "at" "the" "and".

I really just let it fly. I am a golfer, so I talk like one.

They are just words...

[aeroparrot]

I don't f**** swear.

I grew up around surveyors, scuba divers, and roughnecks.

Never had a f**king chance.

I don't swear at work...
I usually don't swear at home (except if my team is making stupid mistakes)
Now in the car? All bets are f**** off

[Lightning Bolt]

f**kin' love to swear... but it has its' place and time.

I won't swear around work more than any co-workers or bosses.
I was raised in a fairly strict Catholic household, and my mom would not have any of it in the house.
"F-bombs" were not dropped around us kids, and I think this is a sound approach to parenting
Today's standard somehow is different, and I do cringe when my adult friends openly let it fly
right in front of their young ones (in my mind, 12 years old is a "coming of age" when you learn a whole lot anyways).

Friends that I know that speak using crass terms with/around their kids ended up with kids who also speak in those terms.
If you ever hope your kids will exceed your place in life, an example has to be set.
How can a kid get the lesson of verbal and physical self-control if the parent doesn't feel it applies to themselves?

"@#%#%&^* KID!! DO AS I SAY.... NOT WHAT I SAY OR DO!!" meh

Another nurse here. Also Catholic school raised but I could make my ex husband, army master sargent, blush. I work with a multicultural staff and patient population so therefore I am capable of multilingual swearing.

Phrasing is everything when it comes to profanity. If you can shock 'em with your humor then you might not immediately repel them with your vulgarity.

Anybody ever say: Well, f**** me runnin'?

Not sure where it came from, but I usually say ***** me Mabel... I dunno

One particular great day in corporate America a co worker asked how things we going and rather than saying just f**** ducky I thought I'd be cute and reverse the words and said, JUST DUCKY f****!"

[jedivet]

Like a sailor, here. Like a that metaphorical sailor.

[AmerigoJoe]

Never used to, but I've become a bit salty in my old age. Now my neighbor is a different story - at the age of four, he has complete command of every swear. Impressively, he uses them all in the proper context I once heard him use f*** as an adjective, noun, verb, and adverb in the same sentence.

I think it is overused ..... and I get really annoyed when people tend to swear when I am out with my mother - they have no respect for their elders .....

I do swear - minimally - I believe in keeping it as a "power tool" .... when I swear - people know I really mean it ....

Though I do say bugger a lot .. . and when I was a kid, that was considered swearing, but now it is even on TV ads here .. so just a normal word now!

[sonofabeach]

a phrase we say at work when something goes wrong:
f##k a duck, screw a guinea
worn out p##y's good as any"

[SchoolGirlHeart]

I'm a sailor. What the f**k do you think?

From one seadog to another....I fixed it for ya

Well DUH.... What the f*** was I thinking??

Thanks!

[ph4ever]

I speak fluent profanity. I have always worked in environments that it seems to be pretty pervasive. I also am a horrible mother because I swear in front of my children and I don't really care if my teenager swears. She knows when it's appropriate and when it's not....she's got a good handle on it and can drop appropriate and well-placed 'f' bombs.

For the record, I have a pretty large vocabulary and know several big words.

Ditto what Paige said...

It is my 2nd language ....17 yrs of nursing did it to me.

can I join this group?

[rumdrinks]

Being a former Navyman myself, I could throw the F word around with the best of them, but never use it at home. And I really try to give up cussing for Lent.

[PackPhanGirl]

yes

[creeky]

Guessing none of you swear at work as according to this

[SMLCHNG]

Hell no.

I do, at times. Just depends on the situation. Sometimes it's in slight anger, sometimes just in silliness, sometimes while watching sports.
Didn't when my son was young. Now? Not an issue.

[phinhead]

What the F*ck is this discussion about??? I just can't believe the d*m@ language used in these posts. Fuc%in' embarrasing is what it is. You people ought to watch yer fuc*in' language....there might be some of those d*m* kids reading this Sh*t....and we can't have that now can we???? Sorry for all the bad language, but it just p*** me the fu*k off to see people use such bad fuc*in' language.
