Poll: Do You Swear?

[HotFezz8]

i swear fucking incessantly. it feels fucking brilliant ;-)

 

[HotFezz8]

im the ONLY person here that NEVER swears? what the blue blazes is the world coming to? (you see? that would have been an excellent moment to swear! but i didnt! cos it would have been rude)

thats it, im ignoring you.

seriously, quit being a dick.

to be frank interspark your acting a bit off... no one who isnt trying to make a point about swearing says "blue blazes"

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

sometimes I'm a good boy, and don't swear... other times i curse like a one eyed carpenter...

for those who don't know what i mean, well lack of depth perception and the use of hammers and other tools, makes for some... well let us just call it... interesting strings of terminology.
I knew a guy who was a carpenter... not a one-eyed one, mind you but he was old and his sight was starting to go... more than a bit too... anyhow... i hung around his shop when i was a kid... learned how to do alotta things. like make stuff outa wood, identify wood by it's scent, and swear like no tomorrow...

 

[HippySecond]

I go to a college so needless to say there are at least 3 people i regularly interact with who say the F word in every other sentence, ITS BLOODY STUPID!!! (bloody, you see? not swearing) If people swear all the time it becomes perfectly meaningless and you're left with nothing to show genuine anger except shouting and violence! So what about you? Do you swear?

I don't find swearing is to show you're angry, that's mostly what tone is for. Since I'm not angry often (correction, not outwardly angry often) then people are scared shitless when I am, and it has very little to do with swearing. I swear mostly to emphasize bits of my jokes, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Fuck no!

i mean yes

 

[Fetzenfisch]

All the time, why shouldnt I?

 

[cikame]

It's funny, where i work there's construction going on and the builders pretty much only know the word f***, i don't know why it doesn't serve a purpose.
I only swear when playing street fighter... or when talking about bad music and celebrities.

 

[Dapsen]

indeed i do. But not as often as i have.

 

[gillebro]

Yep, all the time. I'm Australian: it's what we do.
But I'm getting better at restraining myself in front of children.

 

[Srdjan]

Sometimes it slips my tongue, but I try not to.

 

[Beartrucci]

I swear quite a bit, I never thought I would say this but I actually think it's starting to get out of hand.

 

[Dott]

I don't see a point to this poll.

As the leper said to his mistress: "Where's the bloody point?!"

So what if people swear? Let them.

 

[Boba Frag]

I'm Irish, but we swear in a very different manner to Americans. With us, it's seldom used in the purely vulgar, offensive way that Ameruicans use it in.

If you someone tells me that Darth Vader has moved in next door to them and I say "Ah, fuck off" I am merely telling them that I don't believe them. For us, swearing is a form of emphasis.

This is going to be very difficult to grasp for anyone who hasn't been here. The British peoples do something similar, I believe.

 

[Kajt]

Every now and then, and usually in foreign languages.

 

[Rascarin]

All the time. I don't really see how a swear word like "fuck" is that offensive, so I use it whenever I want to strongly emphasise something.

 

[hyperhammy]

I wish I wouldn't xD

 

[Queen Michael]

No, I like being original. Yesterday I was really mad at my brother, so I said "You horrible, disgusting little maggot!" I also love the kind of "foul" language they used in comic books in the fifties. Like "Dagnabbit!" or "Gosh darn it!"

 

[otacon]

like a fucking sailor. I don't do it in every sentence like OP said but it is quite frequent. It also depends on the crowd I am in more than anything.

Same here. I'm making a habit of trying to substitute other words for the swears, although this gets more strange looks than if I just swear in the first place -sigh-. :/

My favorite is to swear around children so the parents yell at me which starts an argument. I tell them that I will give them a written apology and money if the convince me that what I did was wrong. They can never do it.

Ok, now I'm just gonna have to try that to see what happens.
