How often do you use profanities?

[Guest90210 3,568]

When typing, not often at all. When talking, all the time

[Radiance64 7,053]

More often than I'd like to admit... I'm usually a lot more careful about what I type than what I say irl lol

[~SadisticFluttershy~ 779]

Man.

 

I curse like a sailor. However, I've been using profanity less and less. But, when I get really mad I curse like nobody's business.

I don't really regret using them because it's part of my life. I try and watch my language though,

[Lost 1,410]

I swear all the time when i talk, rarely when i write though.

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

i live in a spanish speaker country, but i say words like "fuck" and "shit", i don't like saying those words in spanish, but in english they sound better and everyone knows what they mean.

[Adash 193]

Considering the fact that I am in high school, the word "fuck" and its derivatives are part of my daily vocabulary in school and with my friends.  I do not swear at home at all because I want to continue living.  This is what happens when you live in Schuylkill County.  You become a potty mouth Skook.

Just under my breath IRL.

[Sir Galleth Cooper 22]

i always swear when talking wiht like friend but other people i try not to swaer same as online i try not to swaer

[GammaDove 428]

Absolutely, I swear like all the sailors in one, but I attempt to keep it clean on the forums.

[Lucky Star 972]

I only cuss if I'm really really mad.

other wise I don't even feel the need,

though recently I've taken a liking to

saying buck, most people just think another polite way to say Fu**

like fudge  so I get away with it every where.

[Dattebayo 2,850]

In real life, I only say things like freaking and god damn it and crap.

 

On the internet, I cuss like a motherf*cker, but still, only in censored words.

[Felix 1,363]

About four to five years ago I was under terrible influence and had a bad friend. Likewise, I did use profanity. However this was back in "my dark ages" and I am a fully reformed and much better person as of four years ago. Now, not online nor IRL do I ever use profanity! It's quite a good feeling.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Well... shit!

 

I use profanity all the time. I think it's hilarious how people get upset about it. It's just a word. It's only offensive depending on the context.

 

When I say shit, what does that actually mean? Nothing, really. So how is that offensive? How is that wrong? I could say "spit" instead, and you would still know exactly what I mean. Since the meaning is the same, how can one be offensive and the other not?

 

Saying niggerturdsandwichdickfuck as an exclamation is less offensive than calling someone stupid out of spite.

[Teller 360]

Every other sentence, when speaking.

 

Almost never on the internet.

[Nulln 755]

I never cuss.  I don't want my son picking up bad language.  The only time I used to cuss was back in jr high when I thought I was so cool and funny.  XD

[Greywolfin 102]

I'm pretty good at censoring myself depending on who's around. If it's my really close friend, we'll cuss each other out and not even think twice about it. If it's someone I don't really know or my family, I tend to keep it pretty clean.

[Oblivion 20,266]

You could say that I am a bit of a potty mouth at times, especially when I am working on something and I end up breaking it or mess it up I go on a tangent where I use ever curse word in existence without hardly think about it...

 

Though there are times when I just have to watch what I say so I try not to make too bad of a habit of it.

[LightningWar 50]

I curse so often that i find swear words lose their meaning haha

[lightning-spark 34]

it has got to the point where i swear all of the time. i cant help it cuz i just dont see a problem with it but i can blame COD for this lol

[Vertigo_95 572]

I only speak like that unless i'm really heated which is not very often. 

[emeraldink 13]

I will cuss freely or not depending on my company at the time.  In professional settings or around people who would be offended I keep it clean.  Otherwise I cuss like a fleet sailors. 

[Mr F 1,522]

I swear like an angry Northern Norwegian carpenter.

I have made whole sentences of pure swear words when I have been real mad.

(Well I mostly swear in Norwegian, we are a lot richer when it comes to words.)

Never really...it's not really my style.

 

I've always seen it as sort of childish and lazy. (No offense)..like, if you're going to insult someone, or describe something amazing/terrifying/wonderful/horrible...why not be a bit more intellectual and creative in your word choice? with the thousands upon thousands of words in stock, it seems pointless to keep it to like 10 words...but that's just me.

I don't swear a lot. Probably because it takes a lot to get me mad, let alone swear. I guess I swear online, but not a lot in real life.

[SCS 7,537]

I swear all the time, and I enjoy it. I tone it down substantially here because rules, and overall I tend to swear far more often in person than I do online. 
 
It's not something I take pride in, however. It's a habit. Not one I find good, but not one I find particularly harmful, either. 
 
One of the main reasons why I swear is to find some form of catharsis. Swearing, for me, is a way to peacefully release stress and anger. I can release pent-up anger and such through swearing about things without actually swearing at people. I often do the latter sarcastically when I know I'm around people who will understand that and not be truly offended by it.
 
I also do it in comedic contexts.
 
Sometimes, I do it because I simply do not care. Apathy is not a virtue, but due to the nature of the anxiety I've gone through on a regular basis for years I'm too busy worrying about large issue x, y, or z to care about whether or not I use a vulgar word. There are only some very specific situations in which I feel the need to care about this, such as when I'm around children, around people I know would be offended, or in a place IRL or online in which I choose to respect the established rules.
