Title: Your Level of Profanity
Post by: Mofo Rising on June 16, 2011, 04:00:10 AM
Let me say this, I love profanity. I am a fan of filth and sleazy language. I think that a judicious use of profanity is often the greatest use of language.

However, I censor myself almost constantly. A lot of that is because I work in public service, the other half is that my family isn't as big a fan of filth as I am. So I censor what would be a non-stop stream of filth out of my mouth.

If I wasn't constrained by these situations, I would make it my business to make every sentence I say an exercise in the artwork of profanity.

From Dirty JerZey, I don't care who hears me. But I TRY to censor myself in certain situations. :wink:

I'll say "f$ck you."  in front of dam Holy Jesus. I don't give a f$ck. I just don't care-as far as swearing goes. I'll swear in a f$cking kindergarden school. "Kindergarden". Some kinda Nazi word for little brats? F$ck that.
Seriously folks--
 :tongueout:

 yeah-I swear too much.

Occasionally.  Physical pain is going to result in an impressive stream of profanities, but other than that I don't swear much.  I really don't swear when I'm mad, but if something kind of ticks me off, that's when I might get a bit "colorful".  I'm weird that way. 

Really depends on who I'm with though - surround me with some guys who are swearing all the time and I'll fit right in.  But at work or around my family, which is about 99.9% of the time, not much at all.

Swearing for me, much like Ralphie's father in A Christmas Story, is an art form.  Growing up, swears were tossed between family out in the open.  So the wonderful tapestry I weave using profanity is epic.  I do however censor myself in front of designated company.  I do swear in front of my kids and in secret I let my oldest slip  a few words out here and there.  However, I discourage it for the most part from my children.

I've learned to censor myself around my kids, and although I use profanity pretty regularly, I also use proper discretion depending on the circumstance. That is, it's reasonably under control.

In addition to high levels of profanity, I also say a lot of "shocking" or "politically incorrect" things . . . but I usually consider who my audience is before I go too far into the land of no return.

Very rarely ever swear and when I do it tends to be at myself.

I used to use more profanity, although not in all situations. It was definitely frowned upon at home, although my dad always swore quite a bit. And as an adult, I got into a line of work where I had a reputation to protect, and an expectation of professionalism. Of course, when my friends and I were together, we could be as filthy as we wanted to be, and that seemed to make up for it.

Now, with all of my involvement in business, church and a small community, plus a kid at home, I never get to just let loose with the sailor talk, except maybe if I hit my thumb with a hammer or something. I've moved away from all the old friends I knew and trusted well enough to be that candid. That's one thing I don't really have here - friends. Oh, I have plenty of acquaintances, associates, neighbours and people I don't mind being around, but nobody I can just call up and do stuff with, or just let my guard down for a while and talk about anything using any words. It's actually kind of stressful.

I work so very hard not to, there are so many better ways of being expressive.
But when I do I seem to be scare-old-ladies- and strip -the paint-from-the-walls offenisve.

I find swearing a very effective way to scare people away who want to hurt me. Ain't had to do it in a while-but imaginative swearing and evil Charlie Manson eyes can save your life. When I lived in NYC it came in handy. In 1983- cutting myself with a broken bottle while screaming "WANT MY BLOOD?!?" scared off a gang off a***oles in Queens. I slammed it into my forehead.
It hurt.

This is very true. People don't want to f*** with a crazy person. Breaking a bottle and snarling is good. I've done it. It serves two purposes. One, it scares off most people who want to hurt me, which I tend to try and avoid. Two, if that doesn't work, it gives me a weapon should things get dicey.

The Very Rarely option aside from when I accidentally hit myself with a hammer or something else applies best to me. I hardly ever curse honestly...

I do but usually doesn't come out much more about the company.  People who are more controlled will usually find me speaking with better language and those that I know well and don't care will hear quite often.

I curse on occasion when I'm by myself. A lot more with friends. Never at work.

Now that I think about it, I really enjoy the non-swearing constraint. My special joy in life is pushing people just a little bit beyond what they'd be comfortable with.

Making somebody laugh at something that is absolutely horrendous is really something you can't stop doing. As it is, I say a lot of things to a lot of people that are truly offensive, but it takes a few steps before they realize what a horrible thing I've actually said.

It makes me laugh, and I haven't got in trouble yet.

I do all the time, but when will cut it out when its inappropriate such as at work, even if I want to tell half of my customers to eff off for being so annoying.

I should also mention that although I'm able to keep my language clean most of the time, the profanity just pours out if you get me really angry. Doesn't happen very often, fortunately.

I worked with a guy who would use profanity all the time. Though amusing at first but it got annoying and repetitive really fast. After a couple of days I couldn't take him serious anymore, he came off like a swearing joke.

Myself hardly ever use profanity. Never had the urge to swear unless I hurt myself or something like that.

My level of profanity these days is quite frankly, appalling. I will swear in front of and at women, children and the elderly when I'm mad or if I'm trying to be funny in a shocking manner. No word is off limits either, I use them all and I make many colourful combinations.
