Explicatives and Colorful Metaphors

How many of us are free with obscenities?

I swear an awful lot, I have for quite a while now. There was once a time when I rarely sweared, well, well I was a kid but since high school I have been bad. I say the F bomb a lot and my Mum reckons it's not good but I'm a bad influence on her. She's never really said it around me until now. I swear the worst when I am in a bad mood.

Do you catch yourself saying them when you don't intend to?

No, I can control myself. I don't swear at all at work, probably a good thing since I work with children. The children swear a hell of a lot though, pretty sad.

Ever said one in a very inappropriate place?

Probably, I sometimes say it aloud in shopping centers but then again a lot of people do. I can't remember saying anything real bad in an inappropriate place.

How bad are your curses?

Bad I suppose but I very, very rarely say the big C word. Only when I'm REALLY mad. My favorite word lately seems to be the F word but ah well. There was a time where I never said it around my Dad but he's the one always saying it too.

--I'm not a huge swearer, but I do swear occasionally. Not without provocation generally, though. I don't use it in every day conversation, but if I get a splinter or I drop something on my foot or tear a piece of clothing, I'll let a string out.

--Not really ^^;

--Not that I can think of, no.

-Nothing beyond 'shit' generally, but if I'm very irritated or annoyed I'll drop the F bomb.

How many of us are free with obscenities?

Quite free, it's one of those habits most I associate with locally have. Still I do have the uncanny talent for turning it off in certain situations. That said if something happens that hurts a good deal, I'm prone to muttering a word or three.

Do you catch yourself saying them when you don't intend to?

Occasionally. Actually quite rarely. But it has happened.

Ever said one in a very inappropriate place?

Has anyone under the age of 5 not?
But yeah, a few occasions have presented themselves, especially when some self-decidedly higher class chaps decide to snob me or severely disrespect me or similar. Then I'm only too happy to show them what people of my class can do.

How bad are your curses?

I have quite a vivid imagination at times, as well as a decent knowledge of the English vocabulary. Some of mine are almost like fine art...

Swearing is my motherf*cking c*nt kicking right. I find it absolutely ridiculous that society would deem random words as unsuitable to speak in normal conversation. It is actually quite juvenile to say "Oh, you can't say that word!" Can anyone even tell me why I can't? Is there any good reason at all? I didn't think so. Just more arbitrary restrictions. Just what people need, right?

For the above reasons, I often go out of my way to swear. Sometimes, if I find it offends someone, I won't stop. I'm not going to shut up, because it offends you. You do have the ability to not listen or walk away. Yeah, I'm a bitch when it comes to this. Deal with it.

In normal conversations with my grandmother, I've been known to say sh*t and f*cking quite liberally. She used to yell at me for it. Then she quietly reprimanded me. Now she's stopped. She finally learned the point I was trying to make. It's not the package that matters or the words you use. The message is what matters in the end. Too many people get caught up on little parts of the big picture that simply do not matter. Conversation is notorious for that.

So, I consider my use of swears as part my attempt to break away from getting caught in the little details of life, and as a way to make my point that there's a lot wrong with what society gets caught up on. And, I also find it hilarious that utterance of simple sounds with no real meaning behind it can hush and anger everyone in the room. Someday people will learn to stop letting arbitrary things have that power and affect on them and get on with it all.

Note on the above: This is all in social settings. At work is something completely different. I like to stay employed when I have a position.

I am never without a few packs of 'em. I reload my ****-gun all the time. Of course, I try to stop myself from cursing, so instead I get a whole load of interesting and creative, uhhhh describing words. Yeah. Sometimes I use foreign languages. So intead of ****, I get something like this.

Bob: Can you get that paper for me?

Me: Sure.

*Bangs foot on metal filer*

I love this topic it's great. Anyway im very free with my bad language.
The f-word, s*it, Bollocks, Arse Bandit, mof**ker to name a few. My mate taped a conversation he had with me once when i was pissed off about somthing nearly every second word was f*ck along with other profanties thrown in the mix. very quite amusing.

I swear around my mates fluently, i swear when im playing games more often at sports games and rpgs then anyother games oh and guitar hero, i swear preety much every where except at one of my mates places because apparently im a good boy

Do you catch yourself saying them when you don't intend to?

Yeh somtimes my mates elude me to the fact that ive just said f*ck about 5 times in the space of 30 seconds Whoops

Ever said one in a very inappropriate place?

Actually No! Gennerally when im out i say things like FFS which is "for f*ck sake." or other accronyms (Sp?) As for work.. i work in a kitchen so swearing is secong nature.

How bad are your curses?

Ummmmm Bad and when i rant...worse. i thinks once i had a half an hour tyrade because the head chef at work was giving me the shits so i went home and rang a mate of mine and rattled of any and all obscene words in my vocabulary..i wish that had been tapped it was freaking hilarious.

My parents are always telling me to stop swearing i gennerally tell them to stop f*cking bleating and get over it becasue they are worse tham me

How many of us are free with obscenities?

Free like a F*cking sailor, b*tch. I curse Very frequently, especially while driving, or gaming...which is a large portion of my time. Frequently, when my grandmother likes to yell at me, a good old fashioned "Will you PLEASE Shut the F*ck up/Shut you f*cking mouth and leave me alone?" feels really good. especially, if I've asked politely/mildly annoyed several times. Oddly enough, though my dad, when I visit doesn't actually say it, I think he has a problem with cursing. it gets kind of awkward after I drop an f-bomb, or just about anything other than a damn every now and then. My mom is cool with it though (I live with my mom and grandma)

Do you catch yourself saying them when you don't intend to?

Not a lot, usually I'll find myself unintentionally corrupting the minds of toddlers while in large department stores "SH*T! When did this get so damn expensive!?" and the like. Nothing that they won't know how to say by the end of 4th grade anyway.

Ever said one in a very inappropriate place?

Not unintentionally. unless you count deptartment stores like Wal-mart and K-mart very inappropriate.

How bad are your curses?

they range from the mild damn's to the C-bomb. the c-word is most frequently used while driving, as I have a bit of road rage. Especially after someone rides on my bumper when I'm doing 15 over the limit and flashes their brights at me. that usually gets a middle finger, and a large number of c and f bombs, until they pass me.

free? U mean, like, not getting trouble? Cuz i'm a Chibi %50 of the time, and I tend to get lost in not caring and what's for dinner.

maybe?

Do you catch yourself saying them when you don't intend to?
I accidently said: I *beep* love hitler, when i was trying to say that i loved a comedian that was making fun of him. (Not funny in the least.) But i laughed for 5 minutes straight until I had tears dripping down my face.

Ever said one in a very inappropriate place?

I told my aunt connie to suck it, which is a joke, but i said it so loud that my entire family (at a bar-b-que) turned around.

How bad are your curses?
I curse about every 7 or 8 words into a convo... don't know what i mean, i'll explain:

Me: Idk, something about a dude who was eating a hotdog, and then *beep* hit the fan.
I was lost somewhere between my cat and how *beep* cute he looks.
I can't remember the last time I had one of those, but i'm pretty sure it was *beep* good.
