Profanities - Do YOU still use it?

***Admin*** · 07-12-04, 10:44 PM

In the computer lab, I was disturbed at how annoying this one student was. He was loud when talking to his buddy and what disturbed me was that in every sentence that came out of his mouth, a profanity was the only adjective that he chose in his sentence.

Shouldn't we, college students dropped profanity when we left high school? It makes the person appear immature and uneducated when they use profane word as an adjective in every sentences, imo. It is rare for a cuss word to slip out of my vocab. Maybe is just me.

I do find it interesting how some people use the F word as frequently as others use the word "like". I personally am not offended by it, but I wonder what causes people to talk like that in their everyday speech?

The number of profanities that slip out of my mouth is directly proportional to how angry I am at the time. I normally limit myself to "damn" and "fricken" and people think I'm this nice person. So they are sometimes surprised when a colorful word slips out during the heat of a moment. But wow what a potty-mouth I turn into when no one is listening!

For me, cussing is like farting. It only comes out whenever I have a lot of steam inside. :-)

trackmonkey · 07-15-04, 07:25 PM

I really try not to.

Set a good example and alll

It slips once in a while, but I have enough self-control to act like a decently educated person. And I do agree that it is bothersome to hear it.

I constantly use "shit" but other than that, I stopped using cuss words.
Pet peeves- when a girl uses profanity as an adjective. Not attractive at all!

My gf has never cussed before. I've tried making her say the F word at least once, but she never wants to say it. As for me, I grew up cussing. But I know what cussing can do to someone's image, so I just don't do it in public.

I find it to be a turn on whenever a girl cusses. It's so freakin' sexy.

ehh...when a girl uses profanity...ehhh

As for me, i don't like speaking much so I make my sentences short by cutting out the bad words and adjectives. Now I feel funny when I cuss out loud...eeeek. I usually send the hate within.

Is it ok for professors to swear in class?

JPWRana · 01-15-05, 08:15 PM

I RRRRAAARRREEELLLLY ever cuss. RRRARRREELLLYYY. I have been raised well.

Girl cussing: TURN ON only when she's involved in the proper activity

TURN OFF any other time.

I do not like ppl that cuss. Even stand up comedy disturbs me a little when its TOO much F word, like George Carlin or some Eddie Murphey.

I've heard it once in awhile. Usually, they say that they are sorry and continue with their lectures.

None of the students mind because profanity is not a new language in our society.

I dont think substituting intelligent words for profanity is any better. Profanity is certainly warranted at times. Its always nice to let out a few F Us and Beeches here and there. ALthough I do agree that using a swear in replace of more suiting adjectives can get annoying. Kind like those like people that like saying like so much.
