I swear like a Marine.

wait.......

I try to keep it to a minimum (especially around my family), but when I'm in the car with my bf and he's scaring the living shit out of me with his driving or when I'm playing video games I curse more than usual. Playing video games without cussing at the screen when I'm at home with my parents in the same room...that's a challenge!

I swear as much as is appropriate. On this forum I just use some "damn"s and "fuck"s, but I try to avoid not swearing at all. I have to uphold my culture after all. (In Norway, it is only legal to call a police officer a "horse cock" in the northern parts. The reason being that the Northerners are known for their colourful language.

I don't swear a lot. I tend to moderate myself according to the company I'm in. But hey, I can say "fuck" to my mom as long as it's part of a dirty joke I'm sharing with her... true! It's good to be a grown-up.

I have a sneaking suspicion that when I have a kid, the first word the little darling will pick up will be "assmonkey" as it is my favorite term to use while driving.

Not my fault, though, I picked it up from my husband...

I live in Manhattan, where there is no such thing as swearing. Here we call it: communication.

I swear a whole lot, except in front of my mother and my son. I invent long, Germanic kind of dirty words by combining long strings of existing bad words.

I even invented a song called "Motherfucking Bitchassed Motherfucker" that I sing quietly to myself all the time; except when I'm around those guys, I change the words around a little so it's called "I Like to Say the Bad Words," and it's just about how much I like swearing, but with no actual swears.

You probably think I'm making this up. And if that makes you happy, it's OK with me.

I swear a lot. My husband swears a lot. Our daughter's first word (after "No", "Mama", "Dada"), was "Shit!", used correctly. At which point we set up the swearing jar, aka the college fund, at $.25 per cuss word. (I once had an argument with my boss whether "cum-guzzling fuck-nut" was $.25 or $.50.) I've had friends put in $5.00 and $20.00 bills to cover what they owe.

However, now that she's older, I'm loosening up. It's not like she hasn't heard the words, and needs to learn on her own when and where to use them. It was just a little embarrassing having the foulest-mouthed toddler in day care.

edited to add: great, now I've got "Uncle Fucker" from South Park: BLU going through my head...

So many of the cuss words are too short and don't fulfill me. I'd rather shout "Alamagordo!", stressing each syllable to get full enjoyment from the exercise.

Besides, it makes people think "what the hell does that mean?"

cheers,
Michael

I rather like screaming "Socorro!!"

How do you pronounce, "f*ck!" as in, "For f*cks sake!"?

I am quite the potty mouth and I wouldn't have it any other way. Ever since I was the first kid in the 5th grade to say "fuck" out loud, I have felt a profound affinity for the much-maligned anglo-saxon words. Besides, if I didn't cuss like a sailor, y'all would give me even more shit about my vocabulary and I'd have no way to tell you to go fuck yourselves.

For all you four letter afficionados out there, I can't recommend this book enough:The F-Word. It's a dictionary of fuck and an invaluable resource in the neverending search for novel ways to bitch.
