Do you say 'bad' words?

[Jeff in BigD]

I rarely do & when I do it's because of the usual circumstances (smacking the thumb with a hammer, being cut off on the freeway, etc).

I grew up in a house where no one swore & if you did, it meant a mouthful of hot sauce. When I started liking hot sauce, it went to old fashioned soap.

I've only heard my parents say one cuss word each, the same word actually (the "s" one). My mom called me it once when I was being a little snot & told her I wish I was adopted & my dad once when we were leaving a picnic table because of a snake & he stepped on a branch & the other end of the branch swung up & hit the back of his leg & he screamed the word. I saw it coming, but before I could tell him it happened. My sister & I were ROTFLOL - I'd never seen him jump & run so high & fast. LOL.

I really don't see the need to use them all the time but know that people do use them. My kids (they are now adults) know they shouldn't say bad words in front of me and most people that get to know me will apologize to me if they say one. I don't say anything to them if they do say one but they know that I don't use them and don't really like them. There are too many other words in the english language that can be used. The only time I really have a hard time is if they put a lot of them in a movie. It is just not necessary.

Nope.

Funny, but I just had a conversation with my DD about the coach of our high school football team. The school handbook expressly forbids profanity yet the coach openly cusses out his team.

Quite a paradox. Quite a double standard.

I really try not to, but I slip occasionally. It's kinda hard not to when thats all you hear for 8 hours a day at school.

Claudia, thats intresting, my mom and I were just talking about how the football coach at our school cusses at his team all the time, yet if another teacher did it, they would be in trouble!

 

[catsrule]

yes, I do occasionally.

 

[epcotfan]

I can swear like a sailor (but I only save that for my friends and family )

 

[UncleKyle]

Yeah I do

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Depends on who I'm with and what we are talking about. In front of a stranger I would not dare because I do not know how that person would react but in front of someone who I know isn't going to die of shock then I can let lose! I grew up in a house where cuss words were not considered "bad." They are just a form of expression and boy did we express ourselfs. LOL

er...um...maybe sometimes...I am a hot head and when I finally explode...out they come!!!

 

[tiggerlover]

I hate to admit it, but yes, when my buttons get pushed too far the ocassional bad word slips out.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Yep

 

[Catzeyes]

Yes, when I'm really angry!

 

[helenabear]

I'd be lying if I said no, but I admit I've gotten much better about not saying them since I graduated college.

OK, I bet my #$@%!&! @$$ Dan does! And I bet I do, too.

 

[one_cat]

Yes I have a tendency to potty-mouth once in a while.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

If we say yes, are you going to hold it against us? I won't say rascist, or ant-feminist slurs, though. Of course the language has to be appropriate for the location or activity!

 

[Eeyore2U]

I know I <3 Eeyore uses bad words!!!!

Me on the other hand. I use them too.
