I prefer swearing not to be part of normal conversation. English has the largest vocabulary of any language, surely they can come up with an alternative?
I don't find it offensive or anything, but I tend not to be drawn towards people who swear in general conversation.
For me swearing in when you're particularly frustrated or angry or during sex... I rarely swear orher than during sex. |

Interesting, I have a filthy mouth, but abhor swearing during sex, it really does take all sorts, doesn’t it. |

"I'm REALLY bad! I don't know what happened to me because I used to be such a classy bird. "
Life has more things that annoy you when you get older. I feel I swear much more than my teenage counterpart. I swear under my breath more than anything. Or louder if I'm on my own. |

Try the book "Black Sheep. The hidden benefits of being bad."
There's a whole chapter on swearing and it's benefits. They recount an experiment where swearers reduced their feelings of pain by swearing!
But swearing has also got a downside I think. I know a woman who uses the word cunt with her teenage son as if it's an everyday word. I cringe when I hear them.

"I swear too much, but I love it when my blood is up when fucking!
Keeps me calm when driving though  "
It's all about context! I'd be very unlikely to use the word cunt in mixed company, unless it's toward the end of a hot sex session, where for me it seems to fit perfectly!
Do you use it in the same way?

"It's the parents who swear at their children for swearing, that get me...   "
Yes, they are the worst.
I saw a video once of a guy screaming at his son because his son was verbally abusive to some members of staff at Asda.
"You fucking little prick! You don't ever speak to anyone like that you stupid dickhead! Tell them you're fucking sorry!"
Hmm, I wonder why your son thought it was an ok thing to do. |

'Hey, what are you doing there? Just take your penis and piss off you wanker'...not a fuck or twat uttered - nailed it  L x |

"I’m Scottish, I swear conversationally not in an aggressive manner, certain swear words are sentence enhancers here, terms of endearment and said with a Scottish accent are just humorous x"
It is Still Game is proof that hearing old scottish people swear is very funny |

"We all swear is there a time and place or is it just part of normal life now here lots of it on the bus maybe more with the younger element girls aseell maybe I am old and am not with the times "
I dnt think it matters where you come from. Excessive use of bad language isn't necessary. It irks me to death it being used as a conversation. I swear and do use the C Word in the bedroom but dnt find i need to use it to express myself. Like to think im an intelligent person and have better use of words from the English language |

"Just shows a poor command of the English language or so my effing English teacher used to say! "
Rubbish I know thousands of words and fuck is still my favourite. (Quote from a famous scot)
It's multifunctional and can be used as a verb, noun, adjective. Past present and future tense. An insult or a term of endearment.
It's not what words you know its knowing how to use words properly |

Never in the office or around strangers. However, if said strangers are doing it, I will mimic as part of a social engagement technique,
Never "at" or directed at a person, friend or foe. (Unless part of aforementioned technique)
Occasionally "at" an inanimate object as a form of stress reduction.
But in my inner head, oh dear, it's a constant litany that would make a sailor blush. |
