Do you swear much?

I swear a lot if I am angry, nervous or in any way in a stressful situation, (including feeling uncomfortable with my surroundings.) If the stress rises enough, fuck will become a member of every sentence I say at least once... it's a counter action to my stutter that used to occur instead!
I also swear when drunk... rather excessively... Including an accellerated use of the C-Bomb in a variety of colourful situations.
Normally however I will substitute swearing with child friendly alternatives (the result of having strict parents). This means I will often use the first word in my head as a swearing alternative... (Which can sound unintentionally hilarious! Especially if I somehow combine words to make a new word in the spur of the moment!)

I swear regularly , no more than most people I think. I have pretty good control over it, I rarely let something slip in the wrong company.
But when I play multiplayer games with people out of shoe throwing range...

Fuck yeah I swear, mother-fucker!
In all seriousness, I've been swearing a little too much lately and I'm forcing myself to cut back on it. It's my little way of burning off some of my finals stress.

Why the fuck would I swear? That shit's for pussy little ****** cuntbags.
OT: Yes, when I'm by myself or with good friends I let them fly. My family's not a big fan, though.

I have to admit, my language has gotten coarser over the years than it really should be. I attribute it to a shifting of the focus of my patience while life experience has led to more long-lasting pet peeves. With more experience, relatively, under my belt, I begin to see the tropes of life; things like how common courtesy is becoming less and less common, how lopsided politics has become to the point if you don't hold popular viewpoints you can't speak out on your own without risk of ridicule. It grates on me, like a cut that won't heal properly 'cause it keeps getting small pokes every so often.
As a result, I find it easier to be patient with some things, like waiting in line, or an unexpected delay with something I was planning, than I do with things that seem to be the result of careless, thoughtless or callous behavior, like very casual insults slung at my religion or political viewpoints, or when I'll say something doesn't seem right in a game in the chat box and someone puts me down for it, then tells me not to be so serious when I come back on 'em for it. That's when the bird tends to come out of the cage and my tongue starts to get venom on it.

Not that much in regular conversation, apart from the word "fucking" which is basically punctuation.
"So yeah, I was looking for the uh, the fucking.. the fucking what-was-it-called?"
"fucking sweet"
"that was fucking awesome"
etc.
I swear like a sailor playing League of Legends though.
"GOD DAMN IT. I AM SO AT THIS GAME! IS SUCH A CHEAP/OVERPOWERED ! HOW AM I EVER SUPPOSED TO GET BETTER WITH THIS HAPPENING!"
Insert any combination of swear words you like into the blank spaces. The angrier and more vitriolic the better

For some reason I got this brilliant mental image of someone hanging out their window and hurling shoes across continents. Shoes just busting through people's windows to hit them in the face.Zac Jovanovic said:
I swear very often, but it really depends who I'm around. It's not like I'm trying to be cool or anything silly like that, it's just a subconscious thing- my brain knows not to swear as much around strangers as around my friends. I swear most with my old friends from home, where it's pretty much every couple of words, less around my family or my flatmates, and rarely around my lecturers. I'll only swear in front of a stranger if I'm actually in some sort of pain or something like that. That said, even my lecturers aren't that bothered if I swear, I think the only people in my life that I really avoid swearing around are my young cousins.
I swear often with friends or when my roommate shows up. (God, I hate her).
As for the rest of time, I don't swear that much which is good since I'm going to be a teacher.

Do i fucking ever! Between friends I swear like a sailor. With family i try not to but i do drop the occasional F bomb and strangers i'm pretty restrained.
Nowhere near as much as I used to. I went through a phase in my early teens when every other words was a swear word. Now I tend to find other words come out of my mouth before I'll even think of swearing (mothballs, anyone?). When I do swear, I rarely progress beyond 'shit'. If I'm particularly upset/angry/in pain then the rare 'fuck' will escape me, but that's few and far between. As in: I can count the amount of times I've said 'fuck' out loud in the past five years on as many fingers...
I don't know, it'll probably switch around again in the next five years.
