Why do you cuss?

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

OK... since there has not been any controversial topics in a couple of days I thought I'd start one.

Do you cuss? Why?

I stopped in high school because an English teacher (whom I was good friends with) got up in front of the class to discuss what ever the class wanted to talk about and cursing came up.

In short she said that people who curse, basically don't have the intelligence to come up with better words to say, so they make up for it by using profanity. It made sense to me, so I quit.

There are words that are really not cuss word, but are used as such.

People, to me, who can't say a five word sentence without a cuss word in it, usually sound pretty dumb. (just my opinion)

Any ways... why do you cuss???

Would you cuss in an job interview?

Do you cuss in front of old ladies?

Can you reply to this thread without cussing?

edit:
added "the" and corrected "sense"

added

for Kuso. Prick...

LOL, bad habits die hard. Even though I believe it to be wrong... just the words themselves seem to hold some comic value.

wierd, but that's how I see it... as to why? my 1st sentence.

I agree with cockbone here.

I grew up ghetto, and cursing is something I have not been able to shake.

There have been times when I stopped, I say darn and damn and frig alot, people laugh at that, thats how my dad swears though, "frig."

I have fallen back into swearing the more normal way though, but I think there is something to value in cleaning up your act a little, at least I find value in it, but like many things its in the eye of the beholder as to what is valueable or important.

Actually, I don't curse very often except when I hurt myself, it makes me feel better for some reason.

I swear when working on my cars sometimes, mostly one of them in particlar

but honestly it seems to start a vicious circle and just pisses me off more, so once I start I soon realize I need to stop or else I'm going to bust a blood vessel.

I hear ya. I rarely swear at work. I might let one out when I get extremely frustrated, but I probably swear only once a week or so while at work. Have to maintain my professionalism in the office.

Posted by: irontime

I work in a bar, if you don't swear people don't listen.

then I guess you just get used to talking like that and it becomes part of normal conversation.

To answer your question, using what MudgeFuffin said, if I can figure out how to quote him.....
(Meanwhile, In DaMayor's mind.........I can't figure out how you guys include damn quotes! Damn it! I've had it with this shit! This is just the kind of sorry ass day I've had!! Son of a Bitch! I give the hell up! Aw fuck it!

Oh hey, dude. No I don't cuss.

Wow! SHE posted in one of my post!

On a different note:

Is this like the smoking behind the barn syndrome? Where you know you are doing something bad so you don't do it around everyone?

Maybe

K...Prime example of why I swear

....I'm doing 60 up the street....2 lanes, ONE way....and some dumb fuking moronic ASS is driving towards me, going the wrong way on a one way street....so I stopped just short of smashing into her stupid ass, cursing and swearing at her....instead of backing up 5 feet into the driveway behind her...she decides to continue driving the wrong way up the street...w/ more cars behind me...to the next drive way! ...THAT'S why I fucking swear!

Find the reply that you want to quote. Now look at the separator bar between that reply and the next reply. Do you see the word "quote"? Good, click quote and through the magic of computers, the reply you want to quote is formatted properly.

You can also edit the quoted reply, deleting irrelevant parts, much like I have done to your reply.

I cannot stand fucking people that fucking cuss all of the fucking time, it fucking annoys me, fuck!

The only time (usually) I cuss is when I am pissed, like "damn it" or something like that.

Your english teacher is fucking stupid.

Swears are just adjectives mostly, although a few of my favorites could be considered verbs as well.

The only thing that makes them bad is that you and everyone else is brought up being told that "fuck is 'bad', dont say it". And thats the only reason you get. IMO, thats a stupid fucking reason.

Obviously, if you're really irate about something, saying "im fucking angry" makes you sound angrier than saying "im really angry". Sometimes there arent other words that suit the situation.

You shouldn't say fuck, no you shouldn't say fuck, fuck no!

So at some point in history society made these words unacceptable. They could have made dork just as bad as fuck. If I joke around and call a friend a dork I'm not unintelligent but if I say fuck I am?

It's not like the person is twisting grammer up.

oh yeah...Fuck

I was not aware that they were ever made acceptable...

Does anyone know the history of the "F" word? Why has it become unacceptable?

I really try hard not to cuss but, like everyone else I do slip up time to time. For instance, were selling our house and closing on another. We sold our FSBO and there have been a few kinks in the road. Every now and then I give out a F BOMB but, just when I'm alone.

As for cussing is a gauge of intellegence. I don't necessarily buy into that but, I do believe there is a certain stigma that goes along with people who cuss (excessively). I've seen it in the corporate world where highly successful people where passed up for promotion and the only thing that I could see that seperated them is the fact that they were "cussers". Maybe it's because they come across as insensitive or unprofessional and in an era of PC, those types of things matter.

PS- I do say crap alot. Trying to stop. Last week my 4 yr old girl said crap to her teacher. That really makes you feel like crap. CRAP!!

Only time I cuss is if fade has me all in a tiff and the only way I can get his attention his to cuss back at him.

i don't swear

Did she say crap, or cwap?

I say crap alot too, instead of shit. I agree with what Fade said though, words are what you make up them, but since they are what we have made them to be, they are what they are. Get it?

I still dont mind saying doggonit or crap though, if I start really getting into it though usually it just gets bad and I start getting really pissy. This is almost always when your working on something getting greasy, trying to fit your hand where it wont fit without contorting yourself, and cutting up your knuckles, damn I hate that.

I dunno why I cuss. I thinks it's because I'm in the military and it seems everyone does - it kind of rubs off. I rarely cussed before I joined, and nowadays, I do it all the time.

It's a habit I wish could get rid of. No one's fault but my own.

Oh yeah,....your teacher was a fucking idiot.

I cuss bc/ my mom taught me those words when I was little!

Posted by: want2design

I just swear when I need to release a build up of anger or something like that.

Example... Your whole day has been shitty, then you come home and hit your head... "MOTHERF**KING HEAP OF S**T!"

Nothing release anger like swearing at the top of your lungs.

I agree wit hyou though, often when people swear every 3rd word they sound like absolute deadbeats (well to me anyways).

I can turn it on or off, sometimes it's hard to turn it off because "i hav a lak ov intiliganc"

I don't think it has to do with anyones intelligence to be honest. Some dudes at work just like someone said you have to talk to them like a sailor to get your point across.

Like w8 I say Shit instead of fuck after each set.

I Motherfucker myself when I fuck up.

I son of a bitch people on the road.

All people in front of me on the road are Assholes and people behind me are Dickheads for some reason.

I call my wife a Dick when she fucks with me.

For ex:
Me-"How many times do I have to fuckin show you how to do a fucking exercise after 7 yrs of training you?"

Her- Shut the hellup.

Me- Don't be a dick.

See it feels good and gets it right off my chest............and no not a dick (to all those sick minded individuals).

Is it only me or is this funny as fucking hell?? :rofl

Posted by: ectomorph141

I feel like crap if I cus around anyone else. If I sware it is usually at the weights to let them know they aren't going to beat me or of course when I work on my cars.

Posted by: cornfed

I think cursing is becoming more of a coloquialism than cursing

, if a word is defined by it's use then we've fuqqed this shiznit up royally. each curse word has a whole slew of meanings and uses now.
