That's it. Why do you swear?

"Because I want to"s not allowed.

Because it make me looks big and clever.

scarffiend · 16/03/2014 20:54

Because sometimes 'gosh darn it' just doesn't cut it.

Ilovexmastime · 16/03/2014 20:54

Because sometimes swear words are exactly the right words I need.

5OBalesofHay · 16/03/2014 20:54

Because I don't in real life. So bollocks

Janethegirl · 16/03/2014 20:54

It's only words, so why not?

Piscivorus · 16/03/2014 20:55

Force of habit I think.

cogitosum · 16/03/2014 20:55

It's part of language. You could say why do you use any particular words or expressions? I swear when I want to express something that I feel that word expresses.

gordyslovesheep · 16/03/2014 20:55

because I like it :)

Catsmamma · 16/03/2014 20:55

Because I fucking love it. Like pandas don't love shagging.

Science has shown it helps pain tolerance.

Wanky Wanky bollocking fuck

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 16/03/2014 20:56

I don't think I swear on here. Well, not very much.

I do swear a lot in RL. I really can't think why. I certainly wasn't allowed to growing up. I think I enjoy it.

Bunbaker · 16/03/2014 20:56

"Force of habit I think."

And that's why I don't. Just force of habit - it doesn't offend me, I just don't like swearing.

Smilesandpiles · 16/03/2014 20:57

Fustration and a bad mood usually.

kinkyfuckery · 16/03/2014 20:57

Because it's fucking cool.

Moonbeam7 · 16/03/2014 20:57

KatieScarlett2833 · 16/03/2014 20:57

Because sometimes only "fucking cock sucking prick" will do.

LaurieFairyCake · 16/03/2014 20:58

Because I'm Scottish and it's cunting funny.

There's no situation that can't be improved by a good swear.

onetiredmummy · 16/03/2014 20:59

To add emphasis and because im a grown up and can Smile

Capitola · 16/03/2014 21:00

Because I love it and there is no alternative to 'for fucks sake'.

RiverTam · 16/03/2014 21:00

because I like it, I have a potty mouth. I love words and so often they are the right words for the situation. I like punchy words.

ChrisMooseAlbanians · 16/03/2014 21:00

Because there is no word better than fucktard
