How bad is your language?

I might swear for fun when I'm together with people I know, and I might swear when I hurt myself. I say "might" because most times I don't even bother.

At my other forum there was a discussion about females swearing, and pretty much every guy said that a swearing female is a huge turn off. Ain't that interesting?

I posted a thread yesterdy about how studies have shown that profanity helps increase pain tolerance.

Sorry not to go off topic but there was some interesting studies speaking about sexual fantasies increasing pain tolerance.  Can't think of them off the top of my head.  It is odd when you surf the web and find the oddest tidbits here and there. 

As for swearing, it depends on the company I am around.  I usually try to keep my language clean but fail at times due to either the company not minding or my temper getting the better of me.  I also tend to do it when exceeding annoyed. 
Ah, the good old days.

I swear a lot.  Motherfu**er is my favorite curse word and I use it quite a bit when I'm behind the wheel of my car.   :wink:   :thumbup:

No ^%$#@& way do I #@$%^& ever use &*^%$#@ bad *(&^%$# language. It is just not ^%$#@! right, you know.  :wink:

Afrikaans (my second language) is a wonderful language to swear in as it is wonderfully descriptive and makes you laugh when the person you are using it against thinks you're complimenting them.  :teddyr:

I don't swear at all unless really..........horny.

Yeah, too much information.  :buggedout:

Honey, that's not swearing, it's called "talking dirty".  And it's perfectly acceptable language  :thumbup:

Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

It is interesting Claws.  There are still huge gender gaps in everything, including language.  I think it's vulgar when a woman swears, but I believe men should swear, although not the f-bomb every second word. I personally don't swear.  I might say b.a.stard or bl00dy sometimes but that's only if I'm really steamed and that doesn't happen often.

I speak quite formally and eloquently and because I rarely get angry, swearing isn't an issue.  But people who know me always laugh if they hear me swear because it sounds weird.  :teddyr:

I don't normally swear too much, unless I'm in a mood or I'm in physical pain.  Online since I censor my swearing I don't really count it as swearing.  I try to to be creative.  Sometimes "little turds" is more demeaning than a bunch of expletives.

I'm with Circus.  I love women with a colorful vocabulary.

I try not to cuss too much, but I do it plenty, especially when driving.  While on the road (without passengers) I spout out the most horrific combinations of words imaginable, often voiced in unintelligible screaming.  At work I'll sometimes drop the f-bomb and one of my employees will always say, "I've never heard you curse before!"  It's more effective when used sparingly, I guess.

I never cuss around my parents or grandparents, and I only use certain words around my brother.  I try not to curse in public because I hate hearing other people do it.  Even though it doesn't bother me when people I know are using profanity around me, I hate passing by complete strangers who are cursing, it's just stupid and inconsiderate...of course that's just one of the many stupid and inconsiderate things that the general public does that makes me hate them.

Sports, video games and stupid people really bring out the worst in my foul language.  It can get comical when I run out of actual sentences and just say random pottymouth words that don't fit.

The Burgomaster

I saw a Redd Foxx comedy routine many years ago.  He said, "If you usually don't swear, let me take you out to the parking lot and slam your fingers in my car door.  You'll say "s**t," "f**k," and "n - - - - r."

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

I love that those two different situations get the same reaction out of you.

Kinda says something about your psyche, don't it?

Not sure what exactly. Just sure I don't wanna know.

It's just all part of his charm; amazing how much opposites really can attract!
