How often do you use profanities?

[Steve Piranha 29,411]

I censor myself a lot when I'm interacting on the internet; in person, I swear like a sailor and make raunchy jokes constantly.

 

EDIT: Oops. Noticed I already posted in this topic. I'm a dumb!

Don;t worry, I've done that myself several times  . I mean, who keep tracks if what topics one participated specially if they are over 40 pages and you posted months ago ?

 

I usually use profanities with my brother, with friends less, family even less, formal situation virtually never. Here, since it's allowed as long as NOT overdone, I use a profanity every 10 post or so . Yeah, even with the profanity privileges I rarely find a post appropriate for it  :-P , as I'm not the kind of dude to use them gratuitously 

[JeyWiz 1,097]

It's whenever I am extremely frustrated and angry with something or someone, or when I get shocked, scared, or hurt. I pretty much swear almost all the time, and I can't help it. XD

[Slendy 2,918]

I use profanity quite a bit. Usually if I'm getting annoyed at something or in a comedic way.

At work, I'll swear like a sailor. It helps when dealing with irate customers that got pissed off for no good reason. Swearing under your breath as they walk away feels good.

 

At home when I'm around my family, my language is so clean it sparkles. 

[Sabrinie 392]

all the fucking time...I've been trying to clean up my mouth for professional reasons, but in my personally life I don't censor myself at all. And part of being from Jersey is swearing all the damn time

[N.W. 3,619]

Far too much. Obviously it started in late middle and high school, however it has declined as I've matured more.

Holding my tongue is something I've always done besides around friends who also used such. I certainly don't swear like a sailor, and much of my profanity nowadays is just random satire with friends playing games, however it remains something I am improving upon.

In my writing: only when either necessary or if It goes with a character.

Irl: too fuckin much

Online: not that much

[StormBlaze 992]

hahahaha its a very British thing to swear on a regular basis. As such i am 100% guilty, but i get told off by my other half when we're out and near children, he's quite wary of it lol

[redaxted 1,765]

I'm constantly cussing in my mind and under my breath, but I haven't made it a habit of mine to use profanities aloud and online. I'm usually very careful, although I do, often enough, still talk the occasional bad word when chatting to my friends.

[Appley Hooves 136]

Usually every second message on Steam, not so much on other forums though.

[Peppermint Larry 203]

I mostly only swear if I've physically hurt myself, or if something has pissed me off. If I made a mistake, I might throw a "shit" here and there, Other than that, I don't tend to swear in normal conversation.

 

I personally don't think swearing in of itself is bad. It's only bad when you're using them to attack or bully another person, and it's childish if just used profusely without reason. But having to censor an impulsive phrase like "damn it" with "dang it"? It's that sort of thing that I don't see much point in doing.

[zerox 1,085]

Quite often actually. I say shit or fuck quite often.

[Ninjaed 526]

I used get angry somewhat easily, like when playing. I'd use swear words then, but that was basically it. It did bug me and my family, which bugged me even more so with time I learnt not to get angry so easily. MLP among others actually helped me smile a lot more, in spite of being already quite optimistic before that.

 

So now, it's pretty much when I hurt myself, when I need a quick vent or when I find someone has been doing something wrong or dumb. Not neessarily as a means to insult them mind you. Example: someone doesn't notice the glass door, I'd laugh and say "haha, what an idiot   " all the while hoping they didn't hurt themselves too badly. I hate seeing people hurt...  

[Hoppy 699]

A lot ill admit but i do my best to keep it filtered wen it needs to be

[Concerned Bystander 2,902]

I f****** swear all the s****** time, I mean... b**** who the k*** doesn't? Any y****** **** that f******* says they s****** don't is a j****** t**** e****.  Profanity is p********** my s***** r**** language, but g**** seriously?  who the n**** d******* w***** cares?

 

But really it depends on who I'm with, I tailor my language to the audience.  I don't swear in front of my parents, or other normal people, in the same way that I don't use work-related technical jargon in front of them.  Profanity is meant to carry weight, it should be powerful, so by not swearing constantly it adds impact when you do, and people will notice that.

Err... Should I worry that I couldn't fill all the blanks?

In fact, I only managed to fill like what...a third of them?

[Codelyy 1,286]

I rarely swear about anything. I'll admit in recent years I've started to swear a little more but that's mainly for jokes....... and when I'm really angry but never generally. In my eyes I just don't see the reason for it and not to mention the idea that swear words are "forbidden words to use" has basically been drilled into my head by my family and school.

 

I think the only reason I've started to use swear words now is because I've been around so many people who use swear words and I've just got older . Not to mention I went through high school where a lot of people discover swear words and use them all the time XD, even my mum has started swearing around me.

[Colt 45 148]

I don't swear at all right now. If I am quoting something that has it, I will, but I don't swear on my own. If I did swear often, I think it would lose its meaning quickly. I would only swear if there is something that I really feel that I need to.

[Luminance 2,186]

I don't use profanity here specifically because if these words are etch in digital stone, then I want it to be clean for others.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,549]

i try not to swear too often, I don't really have anything against using profanities within context, as in I believe there's a time and place for it, but it does really annoy and disgust me when some people use nothing but profanities for every second word in every single sentence they say or type.. 

[CheeryFox 23,816]

Whenever I can... But not as often as I did. I like to use 'fuck' a lot - truly a beautiful word. 

[Baykush 328]

Almost never, at least in spanish. In english I have no problem using them though.

[Kiri 7,287]

Verbally, I do not curse whatsoever. I have typed out a few, mostly in reference to a joke or meme that has it, or during times that I've been super angry. There are words I would never convey in any format, however.

[Kenshiro 13,492]

Firstly i must be really angry for doing this. In this forum, i never use profanities even in my PM's. Anyway, in real life for example; when something bad has happened or ongoing bad luck etc.. i could use some profanities but i always try to be very careful not to use profanities to someone even s/he made me very angry. You know, the strongest man is not the fighter who beats his rival. The strongest man is who can control himself when he is angry.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

Only when I'm by myself...
