Cussing, why people cuss?

[Marilyn. 340]

I often cry when I get really mad. I HATE that.

I do that too...

Me three

Wow! I do that too. I thought it was just me. That's one way someone can tell I'm really pi$$ed off is if I'm crying. BTW, I cuss. Often too. My mouth is like a sailors mouth. I used to never cuss but it's a regular part of my vocabulary now. It's just habit for me. It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone by talking that way.

maybe all women cry when they get really upset

My younger brother swears a lot when he is angry. I tell him that it makes him look unintelligent because he can't produce his argument or frustrations in a way that is even understandable.

I swear all the time. It seems to come out without me even noticing however, I refuse to swear in front of my parents or to my parents. That is the common courtesy around them from me to them. They never swore and it is my way of showing them they raised me a proper ladddyyy. But if it is my friends or husband it is different. It is really just MY parents, not even my in-laws, that I hide it from. Poor mum and dad. They are missing out on my sh*t show. Good thing I got that degree in English language and literature to prove it.

So, in other words - you don't feel you can be yourself around your parents.

What do you people think about cussing? Do you really enjoy cussing?

Just to piss off the morally superior I guess. Shiiit, I dunno nuttin about no cussin.

But what's even lamer than cussing is people playing at cussing. You know what I'm talking about.....

"oh, #######!" instead of "oh, ####!"

"oh, fudge!" instead of "oh, ####!"

"oh, jimminy crickets!" instead of, "jesus ###### christ"

"oh, little johnny's dog made a poop on my shoe!" instead of "your ###### dog just dumped on my brand new shoes, #######!"

The meaning is plainly clear - and some how the content is cleaner because you chose some words over others, in a belief that it makes it all better now?

In the words of a famous cusser, give me a fuckin' break.

Why do ppl ask stupid question?

Maybe because you are stupid not trying to figure out why..

[SpiritAlight 1]

Because I am a pirate that's why!

Bahaha!!

Well, as a sailor (hee, hee, which has nothing to do with it, it just sounds appropriate), and as an alpha type (trying to curb this overly assertive behaviour), I use it for emphasis.

Never around elders nor children.

I really want to make sure people do not think me to be a fragile lady....or some such other horrible thing. Hahaha!

Bleh!

Hey, it's FUN!
