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

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
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
@RenFur keep it up...and you will see just how accurate I will make that statement...😒
RenFur · 70-79, M
@LilPrincess

Dang! You don't miss a thing...
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
@RenFur Nope...sure don't
Eklipse · F
I don't care if it is, if you can't deal with it walk away 🔱🤣
Matt85 · 36-40, M
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.
@come2gether So your automatic response after stubbing your toe is gee wiz? 🙄

@NativePortlander1970 Nope, it's "Ouch!"
JustNik · 51-55, F
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.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yep, I hear you. 👍😊@JustNik
@JustNik Unless dear old grandmama happened to be Roseanne Barr.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
No, but there's time and place. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes downright repulsive.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Ok yes, I do get your point, I have heard it in funny situations.@CrazyMusicLover
I learned my language skills from Marines. If there isn’t a curse word in the sentence it isn’t a damn sentence.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Pinkstarburst Ya know, sentence structure IS important 😁
People who swear a lot indicate to me a lack of wit and a shallow vocabulary pool.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, I think that too. @NoThanksLeon

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.
CestManan · 46-50, F
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".
exexec · 61-69, C
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
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I do understand, everybody does it. I do it sometimes but I think it’s horrid.@Justafantasy
RenFur · 70-79, M
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.
Really · 80-89, M
I have my own double standard about this; triple, maybe. 🥴
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
Shows ignorance on your part.
Turns people off
Mudkip · 31-35, M
I honesty don't care, and swear often lol
I despise it an unuseful bad habit
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yep! I totally agree. @Kitsunex
it gets the point across
Strongtea · 22-25, M
That’s true. @saragoodtimes
Iwillwait · M
I swear too much. 😒
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
I love swearing.
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
In the right context there’s nothing wrong with it
Strongtea · 22-25, M
That’s fair enough, I do know what you mean.@Jeephikelove

Haha! I actually quite like warm beer!@ShenaniganFoodie
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
I feel relaxed
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
Only when it’s used in a bad context to insult someone
