Goddammit, you bastards need to stop fucking cursing! All you unclefucking assholes and going to hell, bitches!

Seriously, I don't really curse all that much. I let the occasional word slip into casual conversations with my friends, but that's about it. Of course I also have a few choice words to say when my cat wakes me up an hour and a half before my alarm goes off because I didn't feed him breakfast yet, or when I'm working on my motorcycle/bicycle and things aren't going right. Or, when I'm doing math homework and can't quite get the problems right, or weightlifting and can't get a certain weight up. Or, of course, when driving around stupid drivers.

But other than that I really don't use much in the way of curse words--it's mainly when I'm by myself (or with that damned cat) that I curse.

I swear pretty freely but not enormously. I'm pretty moderate in my language around my parents (they don't really give a good goddamn...hell, when my father gets angry his ability to form coherent and complete sentences goes right out the window and he resorts to something like "Shit! Fucking cunt! Whore bitch!!"...regardless of who he's angry at...I'm not even kidding...he suddenly develops an accute case of Tourette's.) But I'm very careful not to swear too much in front of extended family.

Around my friends, it's a whole different ball game. We swear as often as we feel it is appropriate to get whatever point we are trying to make across. But I'm fortunate enough to be in a group of people who are very eloquent, well-read, and well-spoken. So even when it's swearing, it sounds like poetry. (My friend Trent once went on about a ten to fifteen minute diatribe about someone he really hated and managed to use the words "fucking fellating" or variations of said words upwards of twenty times and he used them quite eloquently and uniquely at each and every instance...I had honestly never heard anything like it and I've never laughed as hard as during that diatribe again.)

I never swore until I was in my 20s, but after that I started to loosen up a bit. Even now, I rarely swear in the company of others, but let a "Fuck's Sake" or "This Fucking Thing" slip once in a while when I am struggling with computers or little mechanical doodads.

Swearing never really bothered me, I'm just generally a polite type of guy and most people I know don't swear a lot anyways and I wouldn't want to offend.

I tend to swear a lot in some situations, but I seem to be able to shut it off in others (like around the older members of the fam).

Worked construction for several summers so there was no escape - and swearing a blue streak can be fun sometimes!

My profanity is usually around nil. People tend to confuse me with a bible thumper due to my lack of swearing-ness (I'm in highschool, even the teachers swear).

If people heard my thoughts though, it would be a never ending string of profanities.

I'm more likely to swear in common conversation than I would here on the boards. Mostly its just by habit, and I occasionally embarrass myself by it in certain company. But if I'm actually pissed about something, Im not too apologetic.

I swear quite a bit, although I'm trying to tone it down (being an elementary education major and all). I only usually catch myself after the first syllable of the cussword, tho. So if I'm really pissed, you'll hear quite a bit of "GOD...bless america!!" And "Oh for... crying out loud!!" (used to be "Oh for fuck's sake!!")

I'm still trying to come up with a word that's volitile enough to replace "Shit" without going into religious territory thoug. "Jesus Christ" or "Christ" just seem so.. pointless, coming from me.

So when I want to say "shit", I end up saying "Sh.. Je.. Chr... Oh for f.. crying out loud!"

But "Jesus Christ on a pogo stick" is still in my vocabulary.
