Why do you swear?

[Moonbeam7]

That's it. Why do you swear?

"Because I want to"s not allowed.

Oh, but the filter does come up when I meet someone new, until I hear them swear and then it flies out of the window.

because it's fucking cool.

Because it adds emphasis

Brian Fucking Blessed IS the fucking bomb!

I'd love to go out on the piss with him

Pent up aggression controlled vented anger. There is nothing quite like a good feck obviously.

Because, sometimes, life looks better when the air's turned blue.

I was a very good girl, growing up. Always toed the line, did as I was told, never got in trouble.

It's so freeing to swear now. I work in a school so obviously I don't do it all the time, but in the confines of the staffroom it can be quite a release

I swear therefore I am.

irl, because I'm angry, frustrated, stressed and angry.

on here because it's big and clever and allowed

Habit, I'm trying to do it less but struggling with it if I'm honest.

I enjoy it. I relish rolling a swear word out. I swear quite a lot.

I don't like other people swearing a lot though. When they do it it sounds uncouth.

Habit, stress relief - I don't smoke, do drugs and rarely drink, but I do have the vocabulary of a well educated sailor. Saying that, I don't swear freely, ie around my children, in church, or at work (as a teacher I doubt that would go down well). However I believe that several people are alive today only due to my ability to vent my spleen in this way.

And as for my kids, if I can get them to adulthood with only swearing as a vice, I'll be delighted!

Big'n'clever

love a good fuck me.

Because "oopsy daisy" just does not sum up how much pain I feel when I stand on a Lego brick.

I swear like a trooper. I always have and I always will. Sometimes its the quickest way to get my point across.
If others don't like it tough shit.

"I find people who don't swear a bit suspicious"

I honestly don't feel comfortable swearing. None of my friends or family do. I can't at work and I won't at home. So it is natural for me not to swear most of the time. I occasionally let slip the odd word when driving, but I am only human.

Mostly due to many years working in the criminal courts I think. Becomes second nature in certain situations. I do seem to have a trip switch though and can switch it on and off. Certain situations I wouldn't dream of swearing, others just seems natural.

This is why:

Temper (shame face, mostly mild swears in temper, but infront of DC)
Alcohol (more colorful language, but lighter tone)

Need to cut it out totally.

Because I'm Scottish and big hard consonants sound ace in my accent. I'm not a lazy swearer though, when I swear it's because that's the absolutely the word I want to use.
And because I can.

Because I like watching rugby and sometimes I just want the players from my team to: TAKE THE BASTARD DOWN AND STAMP ON HIS HEAD UNTIL HE LETS GO OF THE FUCKING BALL.

I rarely swear and am not violent at all. Poor DS was .

Basically because I can & I fucking love it, if someone is a cunt they are quite simply a cunt & I shall tell them so, & enjoy it.

Why do you ask?

I don't, generally. Not even while I was in labour (according to DH). I used to get smacked if I said 'blast' or 'damn' as a kid, I think an actual expletive would have got me something worse!
