I don't use foul language (either in English or in Italian). Idon't see the purpose as I can get my case across while using regular words. If something drops on my toe - I scream!

I scream to let off steam not to deafen those around me Luckily my toes have not been subjected to things dropping on them often

That lady di - has been the difference I guess. :) Believe me diana, there are instances when I have argued for over three hours - politely - saying no firmly but people have been like - no you have to accept this, nothing doing, you have to, and after those three hours, when I have not relented, they've spent equal time trying to convince my father. When my father didnt relent, they started passing snide remarks, which was kind of last straw. Had to put a full stop to all that. So I made them alert with a bit of foul language and gave them all logical reasons I had to refuse them. Used the language just once. And the shameless breed that they are... six months later they again tried to get into my life. Some nerve! This time, we have severed the relationships completely, as it is getting on both our nerves.

I personally do not use foul language unless I am EXTREMELY angry. Because I do not curse, I have had people jokingly say they would give anything to hear me curse. For the "fortunate" few who have had that privilege, they were so shocked at my overall behavior and at me being so out of control that they could not enjoy my bit of foul language. In normal conversation I just believe you can get your point across without using bad words. Quite frankly when I hear someone using curse words in their conversation, I tend to block out most of what they are saying because it's overshadowed by the foul language. I do have some friends who curse, some curse a lot but they do tend to limit it or not do it at all around me, not becuase I have asked them to but they just know I don't like it.

Sometimes when I am in a fit of anger I have no control of my words. Any foul or swear words will automatically comes out from my mouth without brakes.

Once in a while I use a four letter word, I have to be pretty grumpy though.

I confess that I do say the odd naughty word every now and again. I am usually good when it comes to using bad language especially since I’ve had my daughter but, being the very imperfect human being that I am I do let the occasional inappropriate word come out and times like when I drop something on my toe! It doesn’t happen very often and generally not in front of my daughter.

I will admit that these are words that do occasionally come out of my mouth. However, I don't use this kind of language the way that I used to when I was younger. I think that the main reason for the difference here is because of the fact that I'm a mother now and I know that what I say can and most definitely will be repeated at some point by my children. I think that curse words are nasty and for that reason I don't want my children using them.

Most definately if I drop something on my toe I am going to swear. For some reason swearing makes it feel better. Just screaming out a bad word as loud as possible just seems to help for some reason. I don't curse all the time but sometimes I might use it in conversation, not very often though and I don't really cus people out, unless I get really angry at my husband. Then I might throw an F bomb at him just to emphasise that I am really angry.

I have never had the habit of using foul language since my childhood and do not do it even now.I may have used it a few times doing my younger days, which i cannot recollect but that was merely because i was in the company of certain friends who were using it, not as a curse or meaningfully but just a habit. At present i can never bring myself to use bad language and most probably never will.It simply doesn`t come out of my mouth nor is it present in my mind.Most of my friends don`t use bad language except for a couple or so and that too when they get excited but i overlook it as i know that they don`t mean it.

Hi there krupesh I never use foul language around my kids but if I am alone and I feel the need then I will or with friends and it is appropriate then I see no harm in it though I don't use very foul words.

I think I curse when something falls on my toes. But I rarely say it in a conversation unless, I'm really passionate about something.

I swear a lot. It's really fun. You should try it sometime. Just make sure no kids are around when you do. :3

Just sometimes, but I have to say that I try not to use them when I am around of other people, but if we say it when we are alone, sometimes we say it without wanting.

Every state or place has its own foul words...but men use them more compared to women...some women don't use them at all....my hubby when dealing with that kind of people (as he is real estate and property developer) uses some times with labour class people...but still i shout at him...not to use them...it feels very bad...and even it puts wrong impression and effect on your kids ....

I sometimes will curse if I hit my toe or another part of my body. I do not curse at others out of respect. but I try not to curse at all.

Long time no see. :) How are you doing? :) I use it. But as a last resort. :) My problem is when I say no, people are not listening......... try as I might with normal language .......they are too filled with their desires and needs that they are not getting the message being spelt out loud and clear in simple words. Then I feel I am left with little choice but to throw them off so that they come to their senses. I dont continue with it. But after having used the language - I do start explaining my reasons and my feelings - something I had been uttering and writing all along, but they were not listening. With that foul language usage, I get their attention alright. :) No - basically - I dont think in that language or use it as often either. :) It is brought in to repair the situation. :) For throwing greedy people out of my life actually. :)

I really don't see any problem at all, They are after all just words and have the same rules as any other words. It's the context that these words are used in that should matter and not the use of them.
