That's it. Why do you swear?

"Because I want to"s not allowed.

Sometimes because I'm stressed i.e: "for Fuck's sake!" Sometimes for emphasis or as part of an expression i.e: "WTF?"

Because I'm a cunt.

You me beat me to it Maryz. Because Im fucking Irish. Grin

Because the words are expressive and funny and sound as if you mean it. I hate it when people say 'she's in a tizzwazz' or ' I've worked my socks off'. It's so fucking twee and mincing.

I rarely swear and neither do most people that I know.

Because they're the only appropriate words when you stub your fucking toe on that twat of a coffee table Grin

I swear because I can and to me it's just normal. I don't swear in front of family or my children, but around friends I have a filthy mouth. I don't mind if my kids grow up to swear as long as they're polite to people and respect family.

I also speak 5 languages and it's fun to swear in all of them Grin.

Because I aspire to one day reach the dizzy heights occupied by Malcolm Tucker: 'Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off', 'What is this, Tinker Tailor Soldier Cunt?' etc and regular frequent practice is my only hope of getting there.

It stops my head exploding.

I would either be in prison or dead from an exploded head if I couldn't bastarding swear.

I'm sure I saw a programme on the TV which said that swearing came from a different part of your brain than normal speech and some swearing is almost involuntary - just sort of pops out at sweary moments e.g. hitting finger with hammer etc.
