Do you Swear a lot when you Speak?

I don't have a problem with swearing but I don't really use it. Not even when I"m upset. I could say that it is because I'm older, but I know plenty of people my age that swear a lot. I guess it was so drilled into me to use proper vocabulary and to find the appropriate words to express what I have in my mind that I really prefer to do that even after all these years. Maybe it's just being snobbish. The way I grew up everyone knew swear words but we rarely used it, it was reserved to - shudder to say this, oh my , I apologize I'm just trying to explain, I have nothing against it, I am very close to it now- people that were poor and had no chance for a good education. So in a way, thinking back I wonder if there's still a bit of a snob streak in me. I fought about it as a teenager but maybe it was always here.

Actually I dont swear when I speak in public. I dont know I just think its rude to swear when your talking to other people. I know a lot of people that do swear and I think its disgusting apparently they either do it because they want to seem tough by swearing or they just dont care what other people think of them. The only time I swear is when Im alone and im really mad then I let it all go.

When I am home and not around my kids I am the biggest potty mouth around and it feels so darn good, LOL. However around my kids or anyones kids for that matter, I don't use one bad word. I restrain myself a lot of the time cause I know not everyone wants to hear that stuff and I can respect that.

I don't swear much, only when I am in some kinda difficult situation.. Otherwise I tend to be polite with everyone.. Infact my friends tell me that I am too kind..

I used to cuss a lot. But since I've had my daughter and especially now that she is starting to talk I've started watching my language around her. I certainly don't want her picking up any of my bad language and being a cussing toddler.

I don't swear.

I always try to watch what I say no matter what... Even in front of my son mainly.. The last thing i want him to do is go around swearing... Not very good in my oppion!!

I swear much more than I should do, although I curb it depending on who I'm with. (at work or with children around etc.) I think it's a little bit due to smaller vocabulary, or at least one more limited in use. Like you, I don't swear just in anger, but to add emphasis to phrases and it does work like "ummm" or "errrr" to give you thinking time while you're speaking. You know that swearing is contagious though? I used to almost never swear when I was younger, nobody in my house or family did. My stepdad swore more than anybody I know though. He could rattle off three or four 'F's in a single sentence and a few others for flavour! Gradually my mother and brother and me swore more and more until the language was really blue! I then passed it on to my (now) wife. When we started dating she never swore at all, but until we had the baby she swore almost as bad as me at home, she'd picked it up from me over time. My niece grew up among my stepdad and all the rest of us and NEVER swears, she's 10 now and I don't think I've ever heard her use a single swear except for repeating them when 'telling tales' on somebody else! I hope my daughter is the same, as I've caught myself a few times when stressed letting out the occasional 'S' or 'B'.

I tend to swear a little bit in some company, but I will not swear around children..

Well, I've never felt the need to swear that much, but I guess it depends on who I'm talking to also, at home, me and my sisters love to swear when we are talking to each other, in a funny way, not in an insulting or aggressive way, but we make sure our parents never hear us speak like that. And then, with some friends, it's cool and funny to talk like that sometimes. But as for swearing in anger, I never do that. That just makes things really bitter, if I'm arguing I make sure never to swear, because words can hurt, and swear words spoken in anger can further aggravate the situation. But as long as it's funny and it's with friends or family it's cool.

No, I try to speak without using a lot of slang, and certainly without 'swear' words. I think it is disrespectful, not only to my listeners but to myself as well. While I don't usually say anything to people who are spewing garbage out of their mouths, I am a whole lot less likely to give any real attention to what they are saying. It really bothers me when people think it is 'cute' for a baby/toddler to use 'bad' or rude language.

I used to swear a fair amount when I was younger, and that usually depended on the company I was with at the time. I don't do as much anymore, my four year old is like a sponge and absorbs everything, and I think he can learn his new words once he gets to school, rather than me teach him. I still let the odd couple of curses out when I'm angry, but mostly tame ones!

That's something people notice about me a lot. I don't swear. I'll say crazy lame things like "Holy falafel!" or "that scared the beegees out of me!" and go out of my way to say something else instead of a bad word. When I was younger I cursed a lot. But I don't know one day I just stopped and I find it more fun to make up stupid things to say in place of where you would normal say the f word or the S word or whatever. I have to be really really angry to finally actually use a swear word!

Actually speaking I am a xerox copy of you! The only thing is I am lazier than you. And always I use Swear words and never be polite to anyone.

only once in awhile, and not in front of the wrong people. when i lose my temper with my grown children i will say some swear words!

i do most of the time, specially when i'm at work and pressured. But at home...uh uh..that's a big no,no! i don't want my kid to hear i'm saying those words. somehow, i don't want my kid to be like me when she grow up. hehe...but i'm not that bad, though! hehe ; )

I noticed lately that I have the tendency to swear whenever my nerves gets rubbed but as much as possible, I really consciously avoid swearing especially when there are children around. In instances like this, I just stew myself in silence. LOL!

It really depends. I swear when me and my friends are drunk and try to talk stupid and be funny! We could swear all night about nothing if we lose our minds. But I guess it's a good way to release our daily pressure. I don't swear usually when I talk unless someone talks vulgar language to me, otherwise, I am "usually" very polite.

No, I do not use the word swear. I think it is used by those who want to show that they are saying the truth even though they are lying. It differs from person to person. Some people might not find it bad and they use it in their every day life. Also, depends on the situation too.

I don't swear as much as I used to. I mainly swear when I am mad and angry with my boyfriend. sometimes I do use it in everyday conversation depending on who I'm talking to and what we're talking about.
