What are your "rules" for cursing?

[Str8Shooter]

I'm going to go out on a limb that everybody on here curses/swears/cusses from time to time, or more than time to time

So what are your personal "rules" for your cursing?

For me, I pretty much only swear when with my friends, or alone if I hurt myself or something. I rarely curse around my parents, and family gatherings we have are pretty much "no curse" zones.

I also watch my language when out in public. I don't want to offend anyone, particularly if there's older people around or children. I actually cringe when people just throw out "f bombs" left and right when there's like a family with smaller kids right next to them. There's no call for that kind of behaviour in my opinion.

^Pretty much the same as yours. I tend to curse more strenously to me, I drop the MF bombs regularly when I'm pissed off at myself..

My mother used the word 'Cunt' in Scrabble last week. I was shocked! I've never been that worried about cursing in front of my family since I moved out of the house, but now I definitely won't hold back anymore!

I probably curse quite a bit. When I hurt myself, or often just to make a point. I curse casually around my friends and even just acquaintances. But when dealing with anyone professionally, or dealing with strangers or anybody I don't know, I would refrain 100%. And I don't do it out in public in general, unless it's in a personal conversation where nobody else is paying attention.

It'd bug me personally if I was eating out in a restaurant and I could hear someone dropping F bombs constantly. I dunno, I just think there's a time and a place for that kind of thing.

I don't curse very much at all in real life. Trust me you don't want to be that black guy dropping F bombs everywhere, it gives people the wrong impression, especially in Canada.

As is common in Glasgow (And in the rest of the UK for all I know, I don't really go anywhere), in casual conversation swear words are used like punctuation, even the ones a lot of people balk at like cunt are used freely and can often be used to simply mean "people".

Anything formal or professional settings you speak properly though.

I call my mates "cunt" and cunts "mate".

I try not to curse around my children or around my father. Other than that, I curse like a freakin sailor.

Around my friends and even my family, I swear a lot. I use all sorts of words. I tend to me able to control my language when around new people. I find it in bad taste when someone swears too much in situations that don't really call for it. I only really swear when I'm exaggerating or a little worked up or excited. This guy I used to work with, he was a team leader, would say "fuck" at least once in every sentence. Even when just talking in a normal manner. It was just unnecessary and bothered me quite a bit.

I curse all the time, I've done it before in front of kids and it's something I need to work on.

During my regular day I hardly swear but if I am watching sports or wrestling and there a bad call or a player I hate I use ever word in the book LOL

[VaderBomb]

I only curse around my mother, children and old ladies.

My friends are too sensitive.
