Do you cuss?

[Damen]

I'm slightly in between no/not often


If there's one thing I hate, it's excessive swearing IRL.

[Grand Poobah Marx]

It's a bad habit I'm trying to break.

[Rynka]

I try not to! But, yeah.

[Warmaster999]

Yes I do. Hell, I speed swear.

[Warmaster999]

I'm normally good with language. I see nothing wrong with words like hell or damn, but with the exception of those two words that I just said (I don't even view those two as cuss words), normally only come out with slips of the tongue when somebody cuts me off on the road or I just died in a game or something.

[master31347]

i love to cuss, almost as much as tonic

[Kaiser]

Who doesn't enjoy tasty tasty tonic? But yes I cuss a lot.

Can anybody fucking tell me what makes a word bad?

Of course not, and the truth is that there's no bad words or "cuss words". Stop contributing to these cocksuckers that need to worry about oxshit, because they're to fucking stupid to think, and just can't recognize the real problems in this world. Bad words there's no such thing. Stupid people whom think, and do stupid things now that's what we have here.

This topic reminds me of a comcast commercial I have around my area. It starts out with this fucked up cunt mother standing up to a zombie like monster, and explaining that he can't be seen on their TV, because he might give her son nightmares. Now first of all anybody that's not totally fucking hopeless knows that you can dream about shit you never imagined so that's just hopeless, but in all reality the worst thing on this world for that pathetic kid is his fucked up mother who's leading him into the real world like a blind folded man towards a steep cliff.

Just like the sheltered child, pretending that you can't say certain words, because they're bad is only going to work backwards against us, and hurt. It's not the words, but that which you advocate.

[Ganon5]

Not often. Now that I think about it, only when watching sport or when I'm drunk.

a language needs "bad" words so that people can express extreme emotions. these words are taboo because they are reserved for extreme emotions. as for sheltering children from them, who knows. overprotective parents who have nothing better to bitch about. kids should be taught WHEN to curse, not to NEVER curse.

having said that, i curse a lot around my friends or by myself.

Just watch the South Park episode "It Hits the Fan." It has a pretty good lesson on why we have "bad" words. Aside from what schneereich said about society needing words to express extreme emotions, the fact that they're taboo simply makes them fun to say. If you overuse them, the fun in saying them goes away and they also become less useful for expressing extreme emotions. If I call everybody who mildly irritates me a fucking cunt, what the hell do I call somebody who I utterly loathe?

Anyway, yeah, I swear a lot. I'm not like a sailor or anything, but I'd never think twice about dropping a few f-bombs in a casual setting.

[smeeth]

I curse a lot, perhaps too much. I'm trying to cut down, but it doesn't work too well. Fuck.

[Flask]

Other than hell or damn, no. I wouldn't really care about saying any words, but even though I think it's idiotic, there are some words that are viewed as "bad" words, so I don't use them.

I don't consider damn/hell a cuss, but if you consider shit one, then yeah I do >_> I say shit alot IRL.

[The Ambiguity]

Like a sailor.

But I do know when not to. I never curse in front of my parents EVER.

[skaboom]

When I'm drunk. So basically, all the time.

Its meaning. For example, calling someone a cocksucker is a bad thing as it implies that they suck cock. Hence, the word implies a bad meaning, meaning its a bad word. I cut off the rest of the post because it screamed ignorance. People that use cuss words do so due to a small vocabulary and don't know how to properly express themselves, so they just swear constantly on no end.

I cuss, but not often. I avoid using the F word completely, and the S one I use very rarely. Bastard is not a cuss word to me, I never considered it one growing up. To me, it was on the same level as a word like crap or darn it.

Hehe. Me and my mom fight so much cursing in front of her has become more of a habit then something to avoid. But I don't with my dad.
