I hate that I swear so much.

[LuckyCharms]

I sincerely do.

It makes me happy when I see articles stating that people who swear are generally intelligent. I use those articles to counter the people who tell me that swearing is the sign of a limited vocabulary.

When I try not to swear, I can't express myself as effectively as I would like. I enjoy using curse words to accentuate a point to really drive it home, and to make it memorable. You motherfuckers know what I mean?

1. One of my favorite Mark Twain quotes:

Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

Yeah, I swear, too, when the occasion warrants.

2. Since November 8, 2016...

I have run out of cuss words and I am now making up my own.😨

[yellowdogintexas]

17. yep! nt

[becca da bakkah]

18. Try "Cock Knocker" and "Turd Wacker"!

[Freedomofspeech]

30. Well, thanks!......

Those are new to me!!😊

[VOX]

34. My cursing has taken on a heroic scale since 11/8/16...

EVERY time I see 45's image, I curse out loud, unless in company, then it hangs: "That....uhhh."
I curse at the TV. I curse at bumperstickers. I curse at any R political signage.

3. Desperate times require strong language.

Swearing is the salt, pepper and seasoning to emphasize a position or to get your point accrossed. No regrets or apologies here!

[ScubaSteve]

4. Fuck'in A!

[Wawannabe]

8. Hey Scubasteve

You live in WA?
Think we have met if so...

[lunatica]

5. I swear by swearing

It is a very effective way to express yourself and keep your sanity. Everyone knows that swearing is the most effective way to keep from blowing an apoplectic gasket in your brain.

Colorful and mindful swearing can be like stringing pearls into a beautiful necklace. Gems!

[Heartstrings]

6. 1/2 of a famous movie quote is what I live by...

"Sometimes you just have to say, what the fuck".....

[Wawannabe]

7. F Bombs all around this morning

Yee-fuckin-ha!

[rusty quoin]

9. Fuck Trump

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Swearing is used so much these days that it doesn't accentuate or make it memorable. Just obnoxious.

Further, it does not make a point or a case more convincing. Just the opposite. It closes minds and ears. People stop listening. This is not 1950 (thank goodness) so there is not so much shock value, but the ugliness remains. A little salt is one thing but the way it is used so frequently in conversation and even online is just blunt force.

Without going back, self-control leads to more effective expressive arguments. A scalpel is more effective at changing minds than a bludgeon. That is intelligence.

[Neema]

11. I don't hate that I swear. I love it. Especially as I get older. I love shocking

the hell out of people who think the gray-haired lady is going to say things like "oh dear."

[Wounded Bear]

12. I speak two languages, English and Profanity...

[KG]

13. just don't use the f-word with your mother...

[Fla Dem]

15. I have a friend who uses the F word quite a bit.

It gets to a point it isn't even noticeable anymore. It's become common place in conversations with her. So it doesn't really add anything to any point she may be making. She's a pretty intelligent, enjoyable, funny individual. Doesn't really need to use cuss words, but she does.

[Runningdawg]

16. It's been said...The only people who swear more than sailors are OR nurses

Guilty as charged. We used to have a surgeon that said fuck so much the hospital staff gave him a new middle name. Dr. **** Fucking ****. If we have any nurses here from Tulsa I bet they know who I am talking about.

[a kennedy]

19. and when I see tRump on the TV my voice goes up and my swearing increases

10 fold......and I’m constantly saying “I’m sorry” to whomever I with.

[csziggy]

20. You can't possibly swear as much as these guys!

23. I guess you wouldn't have to work too hard to...

...memorize your lines in this script!

[csziggy]

24. The hard work is getting the inflection right for every situation! nt

[LuckyCharms]

32. Yes, swearing is an art.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

21. Oddly, those who object the most to my swearing usually have a much poorer vocabulary than my own.

[3catwoman3]

22. One of the funniest things I have ever watched is this little...

...item on the versatility of "The F Word." Makes me laugh everytime I see it.

[fierywoman]

29. In the future I'll never hear the fucking Four Seasons quite the same

fucking way!

[VOX]

33. First time seeing this and it's great! (Although they misspelled "incompetence.")

But yeah, it's priceless. Thanks for posting!

[3catwoman3]

35. They (whomever "they" may be) also misspelled...

...sentence (centence) and dissatisfaction (disatisfaction). I have wondered if it was deliberate.

The very dry and pedantic voice of the narrator, and the flickering look of the piece remind me of the filmstrips we used to see in elementary school back in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

[VOX]

36. You know, on a second viewing...you're right! It's meant to be scrambled thus.

Oh, God, those film strips: "An Encyclopaedia Britannica Film," as the image and voice shuddered and shimmied, and the emulsion scratches made it barely readable. Then the thing would jam in the gate, and the projector bulb would burn right through the film. Good times!

[Initech]

25. Fuck that shit!

[Corvo Bianco]

26. It's absolutely necessary when dealing with fucking morons. I have losers trying to stalk me.

Fucking manbabies. Cry me a river bitch.

[Glamrock]

27. If I can't smoke and swear, I'm fucked!

[Fresh_Start]

28. I take comfort in the articles that say swearing is good for your mental health

we could all use some tools to deal with the stupidity and insanity...and if swearing can do that for you...I say enjoy it.

[edbermac]

31. I get that way after seeing a Joe Pesci movie.

Then I calm down after a few fuckin' days.

[True Dough]

37. I generally limit my swearing in front of others

but when I'm alone and something goes wrong, I let loose. The F-bomb can be good for the soul every once in a while.
