    We're probably the only English-Speaking country capable of starting sentences with

    "Fecking/Fucking..."

    I unintentionally swear, I often don't mean it really. Often do it as part of conversation or to have a joke with someone. Something bad or something that curses me I would say it or something that annoyed me maybe even at my happiest I could so!

    I didn't notice just how much I swore until my German girlfriend started swearing like a trooper in front of my parents thinking that it was completely normal after having picked it up from me!

    Except for stand up , I cant remember any other comedian ( or anybody else for that matter ) being allowed to use the F word on a bbc television sitcom other than Brendan O Carroll ...

    You've presumably never watched The Thick of it.

    Probably the only sitcom to employ a 'swearing consultant'. I think there's something almost poetic about this line:

    "You breathe a word of this... to anyone, you mincing fucking cunt, and I will tear your fucking skin off... I will wear it to your mother's birthday party and I will rub your nuts up and down her leg whilst whistling Bohemian fucking Rhapsody. Alright?"

    I think the Irish do swear a lot but I've never lived for a protracted amount of time in any other country to know whether or not it's more excessive than other places.
    We do say the word fuck a lot. But people from New Zealand seem to say bollox a lot, so maybe different swear words have more or less impact in different places.

    Is 'ride me sideways' a curse? :p

    I swear a lot. I've tried to stop, but it's impossible.

    The Scottish and non-posh English give it a good go, tbf.

    **** yeah we do.

    I work in an office with a certain amount of stress and swearing is the best release valve we've got. :)

    I do draw the line at the c-word though. :)

    In Canada they use bastard a lot more than we do, it wouldn't be considered as severe as it is here.
