Do you cuss?

[Leave a Whisper]

I do cuss, these days a little less then when I was younger. So somewhere in between.

[Ponyfan]

No.

Sometimes! I try and do it sparingly so that when I DO use those words they hit heavy. You’ll know I’m passionate about whatever it is I’m talking about if I cuss!

I feel like if you overuse cuss words they lose their impact and frankly, it finally just sounds tacky. It’s also harder to control in professional environments if you get too comfortable using them. I know I’ve slipped up in front of bosses before, but luckily they’ve never cared.

This is it for me! Though sometimes, people will just stop you mid sentence and say "wow, I've never heard you cuss!" or "baby's first cuss word!" and it gets grating.

Like a sailor, if I'm telling jokes and stories, or for some reason very mad, lol. Otherwise I suppose sparingly. Never around people that aren't good friends or in professional settings or anything like that.

[Ragamuffin]

Nope!

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

Oh for sure. Especially online (you know, where it's allowed, so not here).

[Loa]

Yes I do and love every syllable.

I do so, but I prefer not to unless no other words will suffice. I don’t like that I swear, and I’m doing my best to use that language as minimally as I can, but I enjoy the feeling and life it gives to my thoughts and words.  The English language only has so many ways to say “why/how/who/what did that awful/inspiring/cursed/amazing thing?!”, and sometimes polite speech just doesn’t seem to fit.

Yes i swear like a trooper. Though it does depend on the company and environment. Though i try not to in front of my friends kids for obvious reasons..... not that it always works.

Though lets be honest at 13 the probably know more than i do anyway

I usually take the lead from others. Most of my colleagues all swear occasionally. My like manager doesn't, but he's a snake and no-one likes him anyway.

I can speak without cuss words no problem, but if I don't care about the way I speak, I kinda cuss like a sailor, or a bit less. It's sometimes annoying because people could think I'm very mean or something.

Not currently, but when I got my overnight stocking job I did. Eventually I began cussing there since everyone else did. It was funny watching my coworker's reactions because they just didn't see it ever coming from me.

Once I left there and went back to college several years ago, I returned to my normal self who doesn't cuss.

[SpacePinto]

I don't like using bad words but I have to admit that sometimes when something gets me angry and I'm all alone I just can't stop myself. However, sometimes I will use milder profanities online like s****y or c****y (not here, though) to illustrate a point. I also don't like to see other people cuss, but I usually find it funny when fictional characters do it.

[Aeryala]

wAY, way too often.
