Are you offended by swearing

I like swearing. ? Especially I like the word cunt.

Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt ?

General swearing doesn't offend me at all. Swearing at someone, especially children, does offend me ? (e.g. 'fuck' is fine, 'you fucker' isn't, if it's said aggressively)

It depends I guess. I'm not offended by the words themselves, but would be if someone was swearing at me iyswim? So the intent behind them rather than the words themselves.

I LOVE swearing, I've got the mouth of a fishwife.

Not at all. I use the c word regularly....it is a term of affection in my group of friends ?.

I had a temp in the other week who made it clear from the off she didn't like swearing, so I made a concious effort not to and byyyyy fuck it was difficult! I didn't realise a) how much I swore and b) how much it helps ?

I like swearing. A lot.

I'm offended by people who seem incapable of talking without swearing every other word - particularly when there's no need. I see using swear words as a matter of emphasis and emotion, not just to tell a f*cking story.

I call everyone a cnut. I love the word and don't understand how why others don't ?

Not really no?

Context is everything, but I'd feel the day had been a failure without saying cunt at least twice.

? A lot of 'C' word lovers here then

It doesn't bother me personally, but I don't like people swearing around kids [V]

I'm not at all bothered by swearing and I swear fluently. Sometimes 'oh bother' just doesn't cut it. I probably ought to have more regard to where and when I say words like "cuntchops" or "cockhead".

I'm not offended at all by swearing though if someone called me fat I'd be raging ?

I do think it's off to swear a lot and loudly in a restaurant or something especially if there are children about though

I ADORE swearing, however, since having Mia, I have to try to restrain myself. I'm sure she said "fcuker" the other day ....

What do you think if you hear someone on the phone or in public (not around children) swearing in a normal conversation?

Gosh, have they taken away the swearing filter?


? I just said gosh. Oh ****.

Actually, thinking about it, rather worse than that was the other morning on the way to nursery, she said "mummy, I want a cigarette please". ? Oh dear, perhaps time to quit the 20-a-day habit??

How odd. You can say **** now, butyou have override the filter as normal for fuck and ****. And presumably shit too.

I think they're common and unworthy of respect.

I like swearing, when necessary or amusing, but not as punctuation or around kids.

There is nothing more satisfying than a good ol' swear, especially on Friday night when I slipped off a step and sprained my ankle. The air was fucking blue!

I love cunt as a word, so satisfying to say, but my all time favourites are the pretty tame "monkeyknackers" or "big dog's cock"

<Mary Whitehouse> I don't particularly like swearing, I think there are far better words you can use. I don't really like the overuse of it on TV. <Mary Whitehouse> [:I]

The funny thing is that's what my friend actually thought but swears like a trooper herself

I would swear in front of my OH (or at him, he likes it ?), certain friends, the ILs but never my own Mum and Dad, at work, where I didn't know everyone well or in public.

The rules on swearing are complex ?

I'm not offended by it, I just dislike it when it is used uneccesarily or in front of children.

I love swearing and I swear way too much, my ex hated it (which made me do it more ?).

I don't really swear at home though in front of my parents and would never ever swear in front of my grandad, and children too.

It depends on the context with me.

I don't get offended by most stand up comics if they swear or by some artists (Pink). I also don't mind swearing if it's to emphasise an emotion. If you want to tell someone to "Go Away" but with ooomph and perfect clarity, "Fück off!" with a bit of gusto behind it, is the only appropriate phrase to use. And it's international too! ?

But I can't stand it thrown in randomly in general conversation. All it does is make the sentences longer and a bit boring. I also don't like it in name calling. Even if I think someone really is a cünt, I can't bring myself to use it.
