What's everyone's opinion on cursing? Do you do it? Often? Any choice words? Can a curse make a statement more effective, or dumb it down?
I'm a fan of cursing here and there, but sometimes I feel like a philistine when I do. Shit is my favourite curse word, by far.
I find it fascinating they way I cater my speech to present company, for example - I can count the number of times I've cursed in my mothers company on one hand, but when I'm out with my friends curses just seem to slip out of my mouth.
Humour me!
My mom gave up trying to keep me from cursing years ago. I don't curse in the middle of a big family event or anything, but if we're just sittin' around talking or on the phone, I usually let them fly. :)
when i was little, my mom told me that swearing hurt Jesus's feelings so i grew up thinking that...to this day i rarely (if ever) swear....a potty mouth says a lot about a person (IMO)
but if an expletive does slip out, it's normally: asshat, douche, f*cknut or packing a bowel (technically not a swear)
Fuck off.
;)

lol--it gets thru the work filter (dual meaning-smoking or having to go #2 at work but always having too many people around) either way, it's just not that pleasant of an expression
they don't say that in OK?
I used to curse a lot until I realized how unintelligent it sounded so I've drastically cut back. I think it generally dumbs things down, but at times can be quite effective, especially when used sparingly or said in anger.
My prefered curse is goddammit. I don't know why, it just always seems to be the first one to slip out.
Shit, I fucking curse all the godamn time!
I guess that says something about me. :-[
That I love to curse!!
I swear like a fucking damned sailor. ::)
I gots no prob with cursing as long as it's not overboard. Of course drop the "C" word and it's on!
Lately my favorite has been "Are you out of your fucking mind?!?!" [size=8]see current complaints for my last post there. ugh[/size]
"You have got to be fucking kidding me!" --me, all the time
I like the ones that start out bad but then turn to something more innocent.
For example, EC used to crack me up all the time her "Mother of Pearl!"
like eat shit angel?
Fuck. say it, it just feels good.
QuoteFuck. say it, it just feels good.
;D I do agree

to each their own I guess. Fuck is a wonderful word though.
I dropped it for a while dating girls who didn't care for it, but it's sort of like smoking, picked it back up on the other side.
I can dig some inventive cussin, and I definitely don't go into a situation all guns blazing throwin the effer around. Actually, I prefer not to really use that one in mixed company unless the mixed company introduces its presence. Still, though, it feels a bit brash.
That said, a good old fashioned "fuck" goes a long ways.
I rarely find the need for it, but when I do...fuckin' watch out!!! ;)
I never curse out loud. I always feel weird when I do for some reason. I do a lot in my head though and I have no problem with others who curse.
i don't like to but recently it's been a lot of fuck's and a lot of shitheads.
i don't really like it, it does dumb things down a little.
people make fun of me for saying "son of a biscuit" all the time, but WHATEVER. jerks.
The Wire's influence on me runs deep, it's even affected my cursing...

George Carlin, the king of 'cursing.'
That was a great tribute to him the other night on TV, anyone else see it?
I love cursing. I actually curse a lot in daily conversation (apparently a masculine way of speech, what BULLSHIT--my favorite curseword). I even curse when speaking with my parents and I don't care because if they ever had a problem with it, I would just recall every time they said those words when I was a kid, and I would also quote some Tom Tom Club: "What are words worth?..." I mean, really, what's in a fucking name? Signifiers are just signifiers, nothing more or less.
But my parents are super-cool, and they never care when I curse. My mom loves Shakespeare, and my dad loves nihilism and absurdity, so curse-words are pretty great things to them.....
I currently only curse when I'm super-pissed, but I used to like it was my job. Now I have a two-year old and a ten month old... good thing I gave it up. They repeat and remember everything (although the baby can't speak yet; she pays very close attention and is obviously filing things away for later use)!
I also used to smoke cigs and now the smell is so bad to me. Now I see cursing in a similar light...
I now prefer 'What the french, toast!?'
Jesus Fucking Christ is one of my favs
meggha
dream and cool parents. whatever next ? sock it to em.
Can't control it, never could, never will.
Fuck it. [smiley=evil.gif]

I looove "son of a biscuit". ;D
I don't use it often, but I think a well-placed f-bomb can be pretty effective. You need to know your audience, though.
I like the Christ variants - Christ on a bike, Christ on a cracker, etc.
I curse. I worked in a factory for about 9 years with some individuals that were not really intelligent. I sometimes had to cuss to speak their language. don't get me wrong, that was two years ago and I still let them fly all the time
I also think that it 'dumbs it down a bit'. I especially dislike hearing a girl with an excessive potty-mouth. I mean, guys are just generally the crude ones...
WHAT IN THE FUCKING GOD-DAMN HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!??? I wouldn't even think of fucking cursing...
woohoo for girls with potty-mouths! that's what i am. i don't give a flying fucking SHIT.
shit fuck piss cunt dickhead motherfucking bitch asshole bullshit.

I'm pretty much a vulgarian, but my former Director at work makes me blush. She curses worse then a sailor. Scary actually.

I think that has to be pretty much my favourite post of all time ;D
I really don't understand how some people can say that they don't have a problem with swearing, except for the word "cunt". Why? They are all just words, and all words have their uses in the right context.
Me and my colleagues call each other cunts all the time.....it's almost a term of endearment!
And it's bullshit when men frown upon women using the word as if it should be reserved for male company. Cunts!
I work with a girl who uses it and she's hilarious. All Deadwood fans will know that it was a word used much more frequently in those days by men and women. Bring it back I say!
I think cursing should only be used to show emphasis. I can curse in my grandmother's presence as long as I do it tastefully. "Jeremy is the biggest asshole I know." Some people might think that I could have done without it, but when it comes to Jeremy, I need to prove my point. "Jeremy is the biggest butthole..." and "Jeremy is not a fine person..." don't have the integrity and punction that is needed for a statement this grand. However, to say, "Jeremy is the biggest god damn, mother fucking asshole I know," would be a little too much and most likely gradnmother would think less about Jeremy being an asshole, and more about how you can't respect her enough to only use one curse word in her presence...and occasionally at that; therefor removing your name from the will and giving it all to that asshole, Jeremy.
God damn it and Fuck are both great words, but once again should be used with caution, and only around people who will not be offended...unless of course that is the whole point.

That is funny. I can't help but hear the late great George Carlin saying exactly these words on stage. Picture what you have written and put George's voice to it!
I curse occasionally...never use "Christ"...and am partial to "for corn's sake!" and "Mother Fletcher!"

Thanks, big...I'll take that as a compliment.

I think the "Christ" variants are a Catholic thing...I also enjoy "Jeezy Creezy" and the like.
That chick on "Rock of Love Bus" needs to stop trying to make "What the French?" happen.
Yup...Catholic here. Come to think of it, I should probably stop using "jeez", too. Although a friend recently tried to rationalize its use by claiming it's Latin for "crap". LOL.
Someone used "f*cksticks" the other day and that one had me laughing. Bad girl.
I can have pretty foul language at times. I am good at turning it on and off. My wife NEVER swears, instead of saying shit she says sugar Molasses. There are 2 things I have never heard my wife do in 22 years and that is swear and fart. Me on the other hand, when we were dating I lit a fart in front of her cuz she said it couldn't be done. I think that was the only time I was ever right :)...
fucking jesus h. christ!
wooow woo woo
