Do you swear much?

Pra caralho.

I mean I swear a lot, yes. Of course it depends on a lot of things, like where I am, who I'm talking to, what we're talking talking about, etc.. I don't really do it in english because it doesn't feel natural. I do like the word 'bullshit' though, I don't know why.

I must say that yes, I swear quite a lot. Not on the internet, though, God knows why. Then again, I'm from Argentina, where a swear word (boludo, in case you were wondering which translates, in its strongest, as "asshole") is used as a greeting.

Oh all the time, except when I am in a professional environment of course. What I think usually goes straight to my mouth and my classmates have even nicknamed me 'Sailor' because of my mouth. Though if you put some alcohol in me, then it becomes really fun.

Got to ask, why are you bothered? They are just words and censoring yourself makes you sound like a child, of course spamming them makes you sound dim but "swearing" isn't bad.

Context is everything, I wouldn't go into a job interview swearing up a storm or while I am around friends I wouldn't say "oh, fudge".

swearing says nothing about you, it doesn't make you "cool", aggressive, rude or what ever else. Swearing is nothing but informal language.

More on topic, I swear but I wouldn't say often or rare ... just when ever I want to. It's not like "I'm going to the fucking shop, any fucker want anything?" as much as it isn't "frick, I stubbed my toe" ... for example the other day my supervisor wanted to drill a screw into a piece of wood, he slipped and the bit hit my thumb nail, to which I shouted "FUCK, FUCK, SHIIIIIT, SON OF A ***** THAT HURTS!" keep in mind I work as a grounds keeper for 4 blocks of flats/apartments so I was probably heard by a lot of people.

I swear compulsively online, but don't really swear at all in real life. It's strange because my parents and school both swear plenty (including my teachers) and don't give a 'goodness please stop that' if somebody swears.
