Well, I know that its not approperiate, but I still swear. :p
 
Anytime, so long as it's used effectively. There's people who come off as c*nts because they swear every second word, and then there's people who make swearing funny when using it at the right time, but at any time. I like to be in the latter group :)

Nothing better than a ****ing bollocks or a bastard shitnuts to start the day.
 
I swear too much. Although I can put a lid on it when required. I doubt it's ever appropriate, but sometimes it can be useful to emphasise a point.

E.g.

"You're an idiot."

try

"You're a ****ing idiot, ****face".
 
"Oh noes, you said a word, you just hurt my feelings!"

Swearing is fanf*ckingtastic.
 
Swear way too often sometimes, e.g gaming or with friends.

When with family i try and tone it down though..sometimes it still slips out D:
 
I control it when i must, otherwise i ****ing swear when i like. :D
 
**** in a ****ing ****boat with your **** and **** it sideways.

Me too.
 
I try to restrict my interpersonal interaction as much as possible, so naturally I have little opportunity to invoke swearing. The vaguely inappropriate word that I use most often is probably "bastard" used in the sense of something deplorable and mundane, and more frequently its verb, "to bastardise"--as the English language being bastardised by illiterate teenagers who don't seem to understand that all it takes is two extra keystrokes not to look like a dipshit.

Little insults like that are cool too, but it takes a supremely idiotic person to rile me to the point that I would make up a vulgar insult for him.
 
quite alot but i usually stick with bollocks and son of a bitch
 
Define cuss. I throw lame words around with co-workers and fellow students. I rarely say the "big words" unless it's exclamatory (ie making a very stupid mistake), never directed towards a person.
 
I think it should be reserved, for times when you're really angry or in pain.

If you use it too much, the impact loses meaning, so when you've broken your leg:
"Oh ****ing shite cockbags!"
People are just going to say: "Oh don't mind him, he's always saying that.
On the other hand, if I rarely said that, people would call me an ambulance immediately.

Don't ****ing swear.

I wonder what was running through your head to post that comedy gold? ;(

:p

OT: I don't really swear, maybe use the word bastard, or sod but generally I use the weak form of the more taboo words, e.g. fecking poo plopper, lol mainly because I find it more amusing... no one else laughs *cries*
