Why do you cuss?

[Tboy]

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.

 

[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!
