Sure I do but very occasionally. I only do that in extreme cases and only among people I consider close. I am a guy so that is ok (LOL). I think ladies should refrain from vulgarities, ha!

I have been known to say a bad word every now and then. I don't say them all the time. I can really say some when I get super duper mad, hehe. I don't like to hear a bunch of foul language neither. It doesn't sound very nice. It makes a girl sound trashy.

I hardly ever curse. The only time something ever slips out is if I hit my finger with a hammer real hard hahaha. When my kids were little, I was the same, and I got into the habit of saying 'God Bless America' instead, and for the most part I still do that. As soon as the God part comes out it's like my mind switches and the Bless America comes out instead of the regular curse. I've gotten some strange looks, but at least it's not anything bad lol. I even say dang and darn. For some reason it bothers me more hearing a woman swearing than a man that swears here and there. I don't usually say anything though.

I have a very nasty mouth on me when I get really angry. BUT I also watch what I say around certain ppl and in certain situations as well..and if I need to spew off I wait til I'm away from those ppl or that situation. Sometimes I have to actually leave or walk out of earshot for a few minutes just so I can rant if I've been set off that badly.. As for being ladylike...granted its not necessarily pleasant to hear a potty mouth but when I'm in a situation or place that requires me to behave like a lady I dont swear ya know

Honestly speaking, I do curse or say bad words but only very rarely. I remember when I was in high school through college bad words were like part of my every sentence. One day, I realized I'm using them too much and my friend also commented on it. So I tried to eliminate it. It wasn't easy at first and the more I tried to avoid it, the more it comes out of my mouth. Happily, I got over it and now I rarely use them. Only when I'm too angry and I blow my top off. But each time I say them I feel so vain. I'm sorry I don't mean to make myself sound like "holier than thou." When I hear peole cursing I don't judge them the way I judge myself.

Oh yes, I do that too. When people act and say things that are uncalled for I definitely label them accordingly.

I am a Christian and we are not supposed to say bad words or blaspheme (the latter is more serious) Somethings I say the Sh-t word, change it to Shoot, and sometimes when I am very upset I will use the F word. I try not to, but sometimes it is hard to find an appropriate substitute for those words. When I was young, b*gger was a bad word and my father would threaten to hit me if I said that. I say threaten because he never did, but he looked as if he might.

I hardly ever cuss. I do sometimes but it is just small words. I hate foul language and I try not to use it at all. It is filthy coming out of people's mouth when they use it. I do cuss more if I am very mad though but most usually it is not at anyone. It is mainly out loud to myself.

Swearing in normal conversations becomes such a habit and I think it sounds trashy with men as well as women. They come to use that language so very naturally that they are not even aware that there are people around them that get very offended. I do swear when I am extremely upset and I hate it when I do. Never in public and usually when I am just ranting to myself in the privacy of my own home. It is not in my everyday vocabulary for sure.

I don't swear. I figure too many people do it for me, so I should just let them. I like to think that my children will follow my lead when they get older, but the way our world is these days, might be a losing battle. Might have to be happy with them not swearing while they live in my house.

There were times that I can't control my feelings so bad words would come of my mouth. I don't curse because I do believe in karma. If you curse somebody, it will return to you not once, not twice but thrice.

I agree that bad language is offensive but sometimes a bad word will slip out of my mouth. You might want to mention to your friend that, any point she is trying to make in a conversation, is immediately lost as soon as she uses the first curse word. After that nothing else she says is taken with the same seriousness. It also gives people a bad impression of her.

Yes, I think it is very ugly. It isn't nice at all or Ladylike. They really do it when they are angry. I am just not use to that kind of talk.

It's a bad habit for one to say bad words or course.escepically a girl.It's not elegant . A lovely girl shouldn't say bad words to her boyfriend,even though she get mad.

Hi there Marcia! Yeah, sometimes I do. Usually when I get really surprised and also when I'm so angry. It's not good and I'm trying to get rid of that habit though.

I try not too but I do. especially if i'm mad. I've gotten better at trying to use other words instead of the bad ones but it's REALLY hard sometimes. lol

Hi Marcia am not sure if I have already answered you on this one but its only when I get really angry that I tend to swear-its not good I know but that normally is only once in a blue moon as it takes a lot to get me angry-your fiend littleowl

I seldom curse but sometimes I let out a damn if I hurt myself on something or otherwise get a shock of some sort but usually I only darn and let it go at that. I do not like swearing and cursing at all. Also I never take the name of the Lord in vain either. I especially hate hearing the f word bandied about in every other sentence like the person cannot talk without using that word. its as bad as using like 'in every sentence and I have even heard adults do 'that not just teens. No cursing is not lady like at all.
