Poll: Do You Swear?

[The_Communist_Tsar]

i didnt used to.. then school came along and thats when the occasional swearing kicked in "shakes fist" i used to be such a good boy

Your not the only one... I lasted through elementary, but then grade 7 came along. Then I started swearing like a fucking sailor.

 

[Sewer Rat]

Hell yeah. I adopt George Carlin's style of thinking, there are no bad words, just bad intentions.

 

[DazZ.]

Fuck nuggets!

Yeah I do, a fair bit. More than I should do but it's all good.

Lollygagging!
[small]Isn't a swear word but should be.[/small]

 

[airwolfe591]

My swearing has slowly toned done over the years, but I still swear when frustrated, angry or in pain, like when I accidentally walked into stairs.

 

[Supernaut565]

I control myself and keep swearing down to a minunum around family and when it would be extremly inapropriate. BUt the rest of the time I tend to swear alot.

 

[Pinguin]

I thought "bloody" was considered a swear word. A mild one perhaps, but still a swear word.

In answer to the question: Yes, to a varying degree depending on company.

 

[BuchalBainne]

I'm Irish, we swear a lot. Actually, most of what we say is swearing.

FUCK

Right, that's that done with. All in all, I'm comfortable with the amount I swear, although it is a lot. Anyone who can honestly say they're offended by it needs to reassess their priorities.

Don't forget 'feck' my dear Furburt!
(Not really a swear word in my books but....erm......yeah)

 

[Cpu46]

I dont swear too often, so when I actually do people pay attention to what im saying.

 

[Andalusa]

I do swear, either when I'm really angry or I'm taking the piss.

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

At home like a sailor's *****. At work, I usually have to use my PC curse words.

 

[Mahha]

I'm half Serbian so it's kinda like being half Irish in quantity. I really do try to cutback tho but some things just come naturally.
It's a real shame we don't have as big a repertoire as the Italians, but we do tend to daisy-chain a whole bunch of swears together.

 

[Urgh76]

fuck no

[sub]see what i did there?[/sub]

OT: no, not often at all, only if i REALLY wanna get a point across

 

[DustyDrB]

I don't swear often. However, I never knew "****" was considered a swear until like two years ago, so was never conditioned to think it was offensive. So I do say it quite often.

 

[TyrantGanado]

I do, as a Scotsman I use the phrase "fuckin'" as other people would use "errm."

eg: "Y'know, fuckin', that guy across their."

That and "ya ****." Listening to me speak when drunk or angry would be like watching Trainspotting. And I don't even live in Edinburgh xD

 

[Abbadiel]

I live in a country where the word we use for "mate" (you know, mate as in "friend") is the same as "fucknut".

 

[ProfessorLayton]

No because everyone I know who swears does it all the time. And it gets old fast. It's just a way to try and sound tough.

 

[Mr. Mike]

Yes, far too much. Although not in every sentence, and never when it isn't relevant to do so.

This. Plus I'm Aussie, we have a daily swearing quota.

 

[teh_gunslinger]

I'm going to resist the urge to type swearwords in ALLCAPS, if only to be a pseudo-rebel. *laughs*

Wouldn't betraying your will or honest intent for the sake of an externally designated ideology mean you're a conformist?

And if you acknowledge that, wouldn't that mean that you're ultimately not betraying your true will by not conforming to not conforming to conformis-... God my head...

Down this was madness lie, mate.

As for OP, while I'm not entirely sure, I think that bloody indeed is a cuss word. I mild one perhaps, but a cuss nonetheless.

As for using cuss words, I can tell you all that I do use them. Not all the time of course as I feel they mostly serve as a way to emphasise a point. Excess seems to remove focus instead of of leading it to the point. So, it's a useful tool, but one to be used smartly.

Swear words are not offensive and I can't see why I shouldn't use them, in general. Of course, if I'm talking to my gran I may moderate my language to fit, but then again, I do that all the time. I class I don't swear, on the job I do. With my gran I don't swear, with my mates I do. It's all about having an understanding about the situation you're in.

I don't hold with the people who find swearing offensive or something to remove from TV. It's merely words and frankly, I find bleeping childish and offensive. It feels like some people feel like we have to be protected from the world. We don't.

I may find a movie full of exaggerated cussing to be tedious but not offensive. Bleeping is sad though.

 

[Voodoomancer]

**** yeah, I ******* swear all the ****** ***** time, ***** it.

Yeah, trying to understand non-conformism hurts my head too, don't worry. That's why I only go for pseudo-non-conformity. Irony can conform to logic, at least.
