Poll: Why do you swear?

[lacktheknack]

I don't. Because "KERFLAAAAAAARRGH" is more fun to say and gets a better reaction.

 

[Caliostro]

Because they're words, that serve a purpose, and therefore should be used for said purpose, like all other words.

Why wouldn't you use them?

 

[omega 616]

I usually use it for emphasis, which is very rarely.

I hate it when people use fuckin' as a "erm", it's just a way of making people keep quite while they think of something to say. How about shutting up and let somebody else go instead of hogging the attention and trying to look fuckin' cool.

 

[gl1koz3]

I'm shit at much words, so "fuck" is the word for brain 404.

 

[wickermole]

n

 

[Nixzilla]

My mom swore all the time i never said a word then i made some bad friends and i havent been able to stop sence

 

[wolf92]

I just do it, not sure why. I don't necessary need a reason

 

[Megacherv]

Pfft. How the fuck should I know?

 

[Emilox The Great]

because i say how i feel so if something sucks i would say: this fucking sucks donkey balls.

and if anyone got the slightest bit of problem about it, then go home into your little glass bubble and stay there until you are ready for the real world (or the virtual)

 

[Emilox The Great]

coz

'aw, crap, im losing'
isnt the same as
'FUCK FUCK SHITTY FUCK!!!'

lol

and this too

 

[fix-the-spade]

Usually as a symptom and expression of pain, anger or frustration. Their isn't a specific reason, it just happens.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Bad habit, I suppose. I'm trying to break out of it, since it's not very gentlemanly.

 

[Vrach]

For all sorts of reasons, sometimes as an emphasis, sometimes just because I'm used to swearing in that situation, sometimes because I'm pissed etc.

 

[cornmancer]

Because I can really. /shrug
I overuse them (though I've been cutting back lately) but fuck you. If some words offend you, you have issues.

 

[Le_Lisra]

I'm used to a more rude colloquial speech because of where I was raised.. I never thought about it until I had a girlfriend from more polite circles, where my speech sometimes really offened.

I think thats odd.

Fuckers.

 

[SeanTheSheep]

I swear very occasionally, for emphasis, and do my absolute best to refrain from swearing the rest of the time so it still has impact.

 

[Woodsey]

Because I'm angry, to emphasise, because it's funny, because it's habit.

 

[Iggy Rufflebar]

I'm welsh, our version English contains a lot of swears anyway, possibly due to our hated for the english...

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Because its an easy way to express great disapproval or approval to rely on the cluster f bomb.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

I'm not sure why I swear... I just do... At least I've gotten better about it... I used to be unable to go 2 sentences without dropping the f bomb or similar... Now I can usually go about 5-6 sentences without dropping one XD
