How often do you curse?

I think I'm a relatively polite person but some times let out the old f*** when angry or fustrated.

I hear loads of people who openly curse with friends, coworkers but not family members. Is there a difference really? Especially as an adult?

Is there a difference between cursing in frustration and cursing someone out (i.e. you bloody w*nker!)

The F word...It is a verb, a noun, a pronoun, an adjective, an adverb with many friends

Constantly! When I was younger my wife (then girlfriend) would give out to me if I cursed around a child.. which would only increase the volume and number of curses coming out of my mouth, so she just gave up and has accepted that I am an ignorant swine

Nothing feels more stress relieving than a good curse if you've recently hurt yourself.

Way too much, especially among friends and family, but its more in jest than anything else, i just cant help it, trying to curb it though.

jim o doom · 15-08-2019 12:39PM

My favourite is "Jesus Titty w*nking Christ". Have to tone that one down around some of the more religious family members!

It depends. Some days I swear like a sailor and then other days I'm very prim and proper. The judiciousness of a well placed curse shouldn't be overlooked - it can enliven an otherwise drab and dreary statement.

The last time I had an epic cursing episode, it was directed at a particularly self-righteous cyclist who threw himself in front of my car whilst I had right-of-way.
His shocked sadness was made more pathetic with his wearing a fluorescent yellow spandex outfit.
I tore him several new ones and it felt great.
****.

Badly Drunk Boy · 15-08-2019 12:52PM

Never. I've nothing against people swearing, especially in the right situation, but I've just never done it myself. I don't know what happened to me, because most of my siblings are terrible for it.

Some friends have said they try to tone down their own cursing in my company but I've never said anything to make them think they should.

Dravokivich · 15-08-2019 12:54PM

I put a spell on you op, to make you miiiiine!

Pretty much every sentence I say has a curse, no matter where I am home, work etc. Never got the issue some have with cursing, it’s a vital part of a language imo.

I have to say it was much more frowned upon in the past I find most people openly curse now, even for example in important meetings at work with external clients/collaborators cursing is common.

Turquoise Hexagon Sun · 15-08-2019 12:58PM

I don't curse too often. I like it have meaning when I do.

Deebles McBeebles · 15-08-2019 01:00PM

Even when I really shouldn't.

RMAOK · 15-08-2019 01:02PM

Every time I open my mouth :rolleyes:

ZX7R · 15-08-2019 01:02PM

All the time since I got married and have kids

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 15-08-2019 01:03PM

If my mouth is moving, I'm probably swearing.

Tone it down around certain family members though.

My grandmother was always quite proper, but she's in her late 80s now and the inhibitions are going. She's apparently had quite a sweary inner life because she's a pro at it.

I was recently leaving her house, was telling her I'd be back to see her for her birthday.

"Oh lovely. My God, I was born in nineteen thirty fcuking two!"

jimgoose · 15-08-2019 01:33PM

I have to admit I swear a fair bit. In my defence I try to make it as poetic and evocative as possible, like my late father. He was a sort of Warrior Poet of swearing. :pac:

**** **** *************** ****** the ***** *** ******** centimeter

GRACKEA · 15-08-2019 01:37PM

Cursing was always just a part of everyday parlance in my family and as a result emphatic swears slip out in conversation for me when feeling any kind of high emotion (not necessarily anger or frustration, but excitement, giddiness, tiredness).

I think the gauge for me is the intent behind the swear, if it's directed at someone or used to deliberately be offensive it's rude but otherwise no big deal.

D3V!L · 15-08-2019 01:37PM

I curse like docker with Tourettes

Feisar · 15-08-2019 01:56PM

All the time, trying to cut it out as it adds nothing.

Potential-Monke · 15-08-2019 02:42PM

Yeah, I'm a proponent of cursing. I dunno, I can't take someone seriously if they don't curse. It seems like it would take effort to not curse, so someone not cursing is hiding something imo. Pretty sure I can't speak a full sentence without cursing, and fück and cünt are probably my most used words. I don't think there's a word more versatile than fück.

15-08-2019 02:44PM

Very rarely. Just don't like saying em

Salary Negotiator · 15-08-2019 02:45PM

I curse every time I see mr_fegelien pop up on Boards.

Graces7 · 15-08-2019 02:46PM

seems a very Irish thing; even gets mentioned as that on US youtubes re visiting Ireland

I would never swear in public, and hate hearing it.

Alone may be different...

when severely provoked.

trashcan · 15-08-2019 02:47PM

Nothing wrong with a good swear word in its place. I’m not a fan of people using the f word as punctuation though. As someone earlier said, I like it to have meaning when I do use it.

adox · 15-08-2019 02:50PM

I actually love cursing. ****in, **** etc are part of my everyday language.

Its fantastically expressive.

Church on Tuesday · 15-08-2019 02:59PM

I hate swearing or swear words in general conversation, I cringe when I hear it.

It really gives off a bad impression.

I'd have to be very cross to swear, if it's got to that stage then I'm basically apoplectic with rage.

(Of course I've used swear words here, but that doesn't really count

)

topper75 · 15-08-2019 03:38PM

Only the once.

I placed it on the lad who stole my jacket in the nightclub in Edinburgh.
I wished him a slow lonely death by anal cancer.

Of course I don't know to this day if it worked.

How often do you curse?
