    I don't use any bad language unless I'm upset and I mean, REALLY upset. Like, you have to press the worst button with me in order for me to use this kind of language.

    How often do the French lose at wars?

    All jokes aside, I cuss a lot, extremely loudly and publicly.

    I used to use a lot more than I do now... Firstly because I am older and secondly because I now have a young child about the house so have conditioned myself not too.

    It's not that I can't curse with the best in appropriate circumstances, nor that I don't occasionally mess up, pRticularly if I stub my toe, or in a row.... But for the most part I am expletive free.

    I seldom use them unless I'm upset, because their overuse deprives them of their impact. This way, when somebody hears me or sees me using them, they know I'm upset.

    I might also use them if I'm borrowing or using certain phrases from regional or historical dialect; as in phrases like, 'Built like a brick shit-house', 'Can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground', and other such colorful colloquialisms. But even these are used relatively sparingly, and often in context, or if I have a few drinks, which causes me to adopt a rather southern accent, along the lines of Lyndon B. Johnson.

    I don't like using bad words. Bad words hit me hard. It's like getting hit by a firetruck. It's a bit chilling to hear such words being said. It's worse on a school campus, synonyms for bad words that are less vulger are never even considered. I just don't want to deepen issues, because they are already bad. Swears, especially when used with anger, are bad. Swears are just a periodic kick in the face.

    This is something I do struggle to understand, when a word is derogatory towards you, yes that is plainly offensive, but when it's just a course word used in adult company I can't see the problem unless it's just being used Willy nilly and then I just start doubting the persons education etc. It doesn't offend me so much as make me ask why?. Take the f word, it's just Anglo Saxon for having sex. The only reason it's a swear word in the first place is because of Franco-English class derogation.

    My old friend and I always say that the only time to use curse words is gratuitously XD;;;

    Of course, at work and such I never use curse words, so you'll usually hear me saying, "oh my~~" or "oh no~~" or something like that, haha~ but with my friends (as long as everyone in my group is cool with it)... gratuitous cursing XD;;;

    There's cursing and there's vulgarity. I tend to separate the two, but I digress...

    I tend to avoid the latter, unless referencing, quoting, going for a particular objective or making a point. As for the former, I do cuss. But I don't do it every sentence, like some folks, especially the really young or the trying-so-hard-to-look-rebellious-and-badass do.

    To describe my cursing, I do it with fuckin' class. As has been mentioned elsewhere, if you do it too much it loses it's flare, or it becomes annoying. Cursing can add a spark to a statement, if you know how and when to use it. It emphasizes a point and draws attention, if used responsibly.

    For example, we'll use:
    That fellow over there punched me and it really hurts.

    An acceptable way of cursing:
    That asshole over there punched me and it really fuckin' hurts.

    A really lame and try-hard way of cursing:
    That Goddamn bitch-ass asshole over there fuckin' punched me and it fuckin' really fuckin' hurts.

    I've been told and heard, that cussing isn't very lady-like. But that is another topic for another day for another discussion...
