Swearing/Cursing

TheOtherMan

Ok so apparently people who swear are the ones who speak the truth.. (Ones you can trust) if you like. Im not too sure about this.. how do you feel about people that use swear words??? Ive no problem with it, If they know their limits.. I.e children, the elderly ect.. And is it considered more acceptable nowdays?

Swearing can be great. Sometimes necessary I think.
Some people can over-do it and it can sound needless and even a bit aggressive at times, but a moderate amount of it, particularly for deserving situations - fu*k yeah! Great for adding expression.

I swear like a fúcking cúnt of a trooper!

Swearing is necessary from a legal standpoint - such as oaths. If swearing is good enough for the President or Supreme Court judge, it's good enough for me.

It's a true sign of a lack of cunting vocabulary.

Fine as long as it's not every sentence. I find I swear more if I'm speaking to someone I don't know well/find it awkward to talk to them. Like an anxious reaction or something.

Read a book recently, it was described as "gritty" but frankly I was appalled at the language in it.

"You big bastard". Oh, dreadful language! "You big hairy arse", "You big fecker". Fierce stuff! And of course, the f-word, the bad f-word, worse than "feck" - you know the one I mean.
"Eff you". "Eff your 'effin' wife". Oh, I don't know why they have to use language like that. "I'll stick this 'effin' pitchfork up your hole", oh, that was another one, oh, yes!
"Bastard" this and "bastard" that, you can't move for the bastards in her novels! It's wall-to-wall bastards!
You bastard!" You fecker!" "You bollocks!" "Get your bollocks out of my face!"

"Ride me sideways" was another one!

Cheaper turbos though..

It definitely is more acceptable in today's society. I swear all of the time and sometimes I don't even know I am doing it.

I'm always suspicious of people who don't swear and even more so if they avoid it because they think it's somehow "dirty" or uncouth.

It's cathartic, colourful, often creative and as much a part of how we communicate as any of the other noises we squeeze out of our faces.

Those who think it's beneath them always strike me as people who are incredibly boring, have very little capacity to think about anything other than trivia and take themselves far too seriously.

I toatally agree. When someone says 'i dont swear' most of the time that is probably a lie right there. Then you get the impression that they are boring.. And they care too much about what peoples opinion of them would be. Life is too short, especially for something as trivial as saying a few swear words

I find that a well placed swear word should pass by almost unnoticed. The problem starts where every second word of an article or a conversation is a swear word. It just destroys the art of good swearing. It's something akin to using rhyming slang.

I have no problem with it at all. I think you can use most words but it is how you say them and in what context.

Ive heard that people who curse, for example if they hurt themselves, that they experience less pain. If that's the case, I am literally going to be like that kid from the exorcist when im in labour with my baby in a few months time :):)

Everyone swears. The trick is knowing where swearing is, and isn't, acceptable. There's nothing more embarrassing that being in a nice restaurant or somewhere that there are children and some gouger is effing and blinding at the top of their voice.

The elderly? I'm curious who else.

Swearing is necessary, it is liberating. If something is irritating the f*ck out of me, I have a good ranty curse about it and the tension just floats away. I can be very passionate about some things and a lot of the time I express myself with a curse or two.

I swear a lot, but I know when to not swear. I think I agree with the statement in the OP. I think that when someone is lying, they would speak more carefully and deliberately.

I wouldn't say I don't trust someone who doesn't swear. I quite admire it actually. It shows self control. I'd probably shock them, though. C*nt is one of my favourite words and I use it quite a bit in selected company.
