Cussing
 

do you think of an alternative before swearing, or do you not mind swearing?

Fuck no.

I have no qualms about swearing when my friends are around or whatever, but I try to avoid it when I can. I have a rule that I don't swear around my parents and extended family. A sign of respect, I suppose, I don't know. I conciously make the efforts to avoid taking the lord's name in vain- I replace them, so;

"Jesus Christ!" becomes "Jesus Tonight!" in the same inflection
"Oh My God" becomes "Oh my goodness" or something like that
"Holy Shit" becomes.. well. hmm.

Anyway, I think I usually have the right frame of mind to dig into my vocabulary and find something to replace swearing. Where someone would usually say "thats shit", I'll say "that is ruthlessly awful", or something to that tune. So yeah. Cussing. It's alright.

hell damn ass.

What a load of old buttocks.

poppycock.

noisejob

I do swear a TON with friends, but with family and people I respect and such, I have a friggin' slew of other words to use.
*Edit, you come on like rather a dick in this thread, Mr. Thread-Starter.

i just got a lift home with someone who when we went over a hole in the road that nearly tore the suspension away from the car said 'oh crumbs'.

i don't always curse, but i'm still going to say something offensive. if i say "i want to jizz on that women's glasses" does it really sound better than "FUCK dude i want to fucking cum on that bitch's glasses!" you know? what's the diffference? might as well just curse.

I say holy moly and the like. I usually see words like fuck pretty nasty though there are certain tonations and usages to fuck and the like that can make them really koo' words.

Fucken yes, I swear so much, even in front of family, except when the little kiddies are around.

i never swear infront of family, but yeah i always do it.

Reminds me of a commercial. Oh yes, this one.

talking of respect for others, calling me names is not called for, either here or through the use of negative reputation you gave me for starting this thread.

I forgive you.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

You are a good human.
