Do you think swearing is bad?

I swear but not something I make a habit of doing unless upset. I tend to say Mother Trucker and Son of a Biscuit.

I have friends at work that don't say em and I try to be respectful

I don't care if it is, if you can't deal with it walk away 🔱🤣

I try not to swear

I think if we default to swearing, we are degrading our own ability to think and speak with words of meaning. If we spend the time to think of and use meaningful words, we not only edify others, we make ourselves a little bit smarter; and we actually improve our image in the subconscious of others.

When it communicates something under the right circumstances, I don’t find it offensive. Dropping an F-bomb every third word at grandma’s funeral is just crass.

No, but there's time and place. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes downright repulsive.

I learned my language skills from Marines. If there isn’t a curse word in the sentence it isn’t a damn sentence.

People who swear a lot indicate to me a lack of wit and a shallow vocabulary pool.

depends on context; when intelligent/articulate people swear as a result of frustration and/or anger, it's perfectly understandable; In some cases, it even makes them more ingenuous/trustworthy (they're not hiding their feelings/displeasure like many)

when people do it all the time in normal conversation, it's just crass

I think television has influenced some of that. Growing up, I never heard words like butt, or Hell on TV...words no one would give a 2nd thought today. Now on streaming, I hear the 7 seven words that used to be forbidden, all the time.

Used in whatever that word is - not too bad, long as it is not every other word.

SOME words though that are not "Standard profanity" though still "feel" like swear words.

Words like "Karen" or "Trump".

I don't swear, and I confess to having a bad first impression of anyone who swears. I can change that impression over time (e.g., my son-in-law).

Yes I think swearing is fucking bad, and yet I do it constantly. Trying to stop it doesn't always help

I have always felt a bit of guilt using Jesus or God in a curse - - I don't know why 'cause I am a person of little or no faith.

No I just feel like some words don’t suit me. Like it doesn’t roll off the tongue naturally lol

I have my own double standard about this; triple, maybe. 🥴

Shows ignorance on your part.
Turns people off

I honesty don't care, and swear often lol

I despise it an unuseful bad habit

it gets the point across

I swear too much. 😒

I love swearing.

In the right context there’s nothing wrong with it

I feel relaxed

Only when it’s used in a bad context to insult someone
