How many times do you curse a week?
Thursday, October 2, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Since we have discussed on some threads about what is cursing and what is a family site I was just wondering in you opinion, just how many times a week or even a day do you say an explicive.
Me? It will be months (or a year) before a curse word will slip out. Then again it depends on what you mean is a curse word.
here are some links to the subject:

and here are some words that made it into the dictionary:
http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/package.jsp?name=fte/inthedictionary/inthedictionary&floc=wn-nn
Me, I find myself saying one word allot as my 'curse' I suppose.
I hope we can be a little adult on this thread even if to show the kids how to act and speak on issues.
In otherwords, don't be a ________!

Well, that's the nice part about knowing a second language. For some reaon, swearing the the other language doesn't sound as bad, although it is.
I almost never swear in French, or unless I really mean it!! But in English, oh! I say the F word probably 4 or 5 times a day and a bit more the SH word. Most of the time, I'm talking to my computer when it happens: I mess up something I'm working on, I click on the wrong button, or while playing a game something bad happens. 
But swearing in English is not really swearing to me.
Try it! Next time you feel like swearing, say "Merde!" or "Border!" instead, it won't feel as bad.

One of the things about working in multi-cultural, multi-lingual environemts (like kitchens) is you learn a smattering of a whole bunch of languages, mostly cursing.
I think I can get myself beat up in about 5 languages but can only say something useful in a couple. Sometimes not even in English which is my second language. My first is babble - ask any of my students.
To answer your question, it depends on whose listening.

wait... I said a spanish curse word a few days ago. I think I say it to avoid saying a word in English
anyway, I usually find myself saying damn or a$$.
Other then that I stay away from curse words and I don't even say it in my head.
I guess I just don't like them. I rather try to explain myself of which cursing tends to not do very well as far as explaining what is going on.
That is just me... I can see it being a stress reliever or being so mad that only one word comes to mind.
But every day convo? No, especially if I don't know the person very well.

2-3 times a week. But it depends on who I'm with.

More like "How many times in a minute" .... half the 'Great Australian Slanguage' could be considered 'cussing'!

wombat is correct.....Strine is based on colourful language of one form or another.....as for me....I 'cuss' incessantly...but am eloquent with it as I have a rich source of vocabulary.....the last-post-before-exile of 'ex' members of this site....

I'm in a very 'adult' business...which allows me (and everyone else that works there) to curse freely in the office. It's not something to be proud of...but I curse so much, I sometimes don't even realize...like when talking to family members, or on the phone with clients.

Maybe I don't get out much but in New York it seems like nobody really curses allot.
maybe its just me... or I am so used to it I don't pick it up.
When I hang out with friends only one really breaks walls with her mouth. others might be once in a while.
@ Doreen. Maybe its all that rap music.

If you live in NY, how can you say that? You gotta be from LI/5 boroughs (.optonline.net)...so then no...you can't say that.
