I need some one following me around to censor me. -
No! Badmouthing is not allowed in my house! -
It's bad. -
Very rarely. If I am in pain I will go crazy with it though, other than that I have a 21 month old who copies everything, I'd die if we went to our mother in laws and she came out with a few choice four letter words. -
-
LOL! Penis. Really? That's random, and funny.

I'm trying to cut down on it. I know I use it more often then I should but exactly how often I'm not a good judge of. -
-
It depends. Around family, I can keep a good, tight hold on it. Elsewhere, no chance - I can't help it. It just comes out. -
lmao. its uncontrollable, it just comes out. i do it all the time, and its not good but what the heck!
I try to hold it back when im with my family thoo! -
some of my closer friends realized that whenever i begin swearing, it is a good indication of how much alcohol i have imbibed. O_O
once they started pointing this out to me, i became more conscious of it, and have since tried to skew their statistics. -
Its a given in the workplace - every second word is the f-bomb. But at home around the kids theres obviously a time and place for it. Not that I would mind them using bad language but they need to know that it is meant to be offensive and not everyone would put up with hearing it. -
Define "abusive language". I have been known to use some serious profanity when warranted (or when drunk) and I have been known to verbally abuse those in an argument without the use of profanity, or sometimes a mix of the two....

Nah, you just get a little proud that's all.
-
I behave myself online
-
I love you Anok. (Hugs.)

I feel all warm and fuzzy now

Still think people are confusing profanity with abusive language. Two very different things. -
If you are around me when I'm watching the Lakers play, then you'll experience a 3 hour long tirade of vulgarities. -
Good grief. It's okay to use swear words when discussing swearing!
-
Almost never anymore. I once lived with someone who was an every-other-word swearer and it just wore thin, the constant repetition of it. It's not that I cringe if someone swears, I don't, I often don't even notice it, but I rarely do it anymore. Of course if you hit my thumb with a hammer while helping me build my house...well, I might say a choice word or two until the pain died down. LOL!!! -
I had a friend who dropped the F bomb every-other-word. It was tiresome after a while. I still swear from time to time, and have a few choice phrases for stubbed toes, or slammed fingers - but I'm with you...after a while it's just too much. Like, don't you have anything else to say?

@robin and Anok
Same here. My use of obscenities has decreased dramatically. I started to avoid contact with those who spew them at every turn when I twigged to the fact that they really didn't have anything else to say.
Also, as others have pointed out in this thread, obscene words and abusive words are two very different things.

imho, vulgarities or swear words are NOT the same as abusive speech. with me anyway, the best indicator my speech to use is abusive is a) you need a good thesaurus to figure out what I am actually saying AND b) I appear to be foaming at the mouth-
Excellent answer

A lot of people say I abuse language,o the hell well tho. I say better to abuse language,rather than use abusive lingo,haha -
I am rather foul mouthed, but not abusive with it. I use to do it for the shock factor as a naughty child, but once you have called your granny a c@@t and she doesn't even tell you off, the novelty fades.
-
Is it abusive if the person isn't there to hear it and I don't know them?
Because I pretty much let folks have it for doing goofy things when I'm driving...
(Like the guy who managed to do a u-turn in the middle of a four-way stop today, then got confused what direction he wanted to go half-way through and had to start over...)
Driving, I find myself spewing out the kind of stuff Linda Blair in the Exorcist would have cringed over.-
I really cant imagine it at all, by abusive do you mean excess use of golly and gosh?
-
You didn't see me drive when you were visiting. I was a passenger, all calm and happy. I wasn't having Commuting Possession. It's a whole new ballgame under Commuting Possession.
-
Well I knew there was some car rage, but I think you should record some of it for youtube, I need to see it!
/from a safe distance -
I can't even begin to imagine venom spewing from your mouth Jen
-
Neither can I.
-
I don't believe its possible.
Lets hope all this sets her off and she goes postal!!!!!!!!!!!
(heh) -
No, no, you're doing it wrong... you've got to get someone to cut me off and then drive really slow, and then someone else needs to swing a car door open really wide, and then a pedestrian needs to leap out into traffic across a four lane highway and...
GGGRRRRRRR (eyes going green and Hulk-like) .... -
Hmm I wonder how must that would cost to set up?
-
I've got four quarters....
Heh
(I'm still struggling with the mental image...) -
Well you thought I was nicer in real life? TSR is 10x that.
-
I've seen her desk and workspace. She's sugar sweet! hearing her yell obscenities and abusive phrases at people angrily would go over like seeing your grandmother give someone the finger!
-
Yeah, I've done that before, too. I'm from New Jersey originally.
I have layers. -
Oh noes!!!! *sticks fingers in ears and closes eyes* lalalalalalalalalalala*

I have a terrible potty mouth. My kids fine me, but it hasn't helped much. I sort of feel like I deserve one vice....
