View Full Version : Cursing as the primary language

In another thread there was a video with a lot of cursing used as the primary means of conveying a notion, point or arguement.
When folks on here encounter a person who uses one or two curse words over and over to describe and convey a message, do you automatically think to yourself,"This person has limited education and limited intelligence."???
I run across folks with little or no education out of middle school who are just this very way. It gets old because if your around it enough, as I am on the rigs, it rubs off on you and you start to have conversations with every other word a cuss word.
Anyone else feel the same way?

I work in the automotive industry and have been known to challenge myself by trying to curse for a minute straight at a vehicle with out repeating myself. Does that count? I typically cus the entire way through a job at a vehicle or at the engineer who designed said vehicle.

I think the dynamics of our language has changed just as society has. As we see more "Blue" language in movies and such it is only logical that society follow.
It "seems" more acceptable.
I have had this battle with my youngest for years, there are times when it is ok, like hanging with your buddies but you can certainly articulate your point without certain adjectives.
And yes I think one that speaks without swearing at every other word projects themselves in a better light.

Totally agree. I was raised in a no swearing household, so never developed the heavy habit. It probably doesn't matter to most, but the more f-words and s-words, etc, that you use in a sentence or paragraph, the more I tune you out. I soon start counting your swearwords instead of listening to what you're saying. Just like someone who says "youknow" constantly. Control your language and you just sound better and of course- you're more "listenable" (pretty sure that's not a word).
I'm guilty, hate the fact I use profanity as I do, catch myself regretting the behavior professionally more often than not. I work on it periodically and have flashes of improvement but in general, "I'm one of the low-enders down in the mud."
I'm a mechanic, 'nuff said.
My name is Jim, and I have occupational Tourette's Syndrome...
I do try to keep my vocabulary on the G to PG level most of the time, especially when I am trying to persuade someone, or get a point across.

I was actively cussing at a car when the service writer came up to show the customer what was wrong with it. I apologized for saying naughty words.

Yes I too am guilty of being a curser. But you can educate others in the proper way to use the F-word and Sh*t go to Youtube and search the F-word and Jack Schite and you will learn alot!!
Also the word DUDE!! It can be used in so many ways it's funny. Exctiement Dude!! As a ?? Duude, disappointment Duuuude. Anger DUDE!! You can have a conversation with a friend using the word Dude and nothing else.
Fucking A Dude thats the Shit!! [Beer]

I would not say that people who curse are not smart, the F word would come out of my mouth with every other word I spoke, and I have always been Intelligent. It was not until I hit rock bottom in my life and got closer to God that my foul mouth went away. So I think it has more to do with morals and the type of person you are or want to be more than it has to do with being Intelligent.

I catch myself all of the time, especially in front of kids. I always apologize to the kid and the usually nearby parent.
I was raised to not cuss at all. now I do so too much and I am trying to cut back. Most of it was developed in middle school with the types of music I listened to, then it became every day in high school and of course in college.
A lot of it is who you hang out with, and if they care or not...at least it does for me. But yes...definitely don't sound nearly as smart when cussing. I usually cuss when I get upset, very excited or really want to make my point.

Funny story on swearing:
I too can have the tongue of a sailor. When my first was born my wife swore up and down that the first time he cussed I would be the one to eat the soap.
We are driving to of all places my mom and dads for Thanksgiving. Little one is in the back seat, he is about 18 months and quite as a church mouse, we thought he was asleep. The Mrs and I are talking about something and the wife says "Fuck it".
We continue driving and about 15 minutes later we hear this little falsetto voice in sing song fashion from the back seat "Fuuuuckit, fuuuuckit, fuuuuckit fuuuuckit".
I had to pull over I was laughing so hard I was almost crying and couldnt see. I looked at the wife and asked her "who is eating the soap when we get to my parents?"
Then we had to explain to Grandma and Grandpa "If you happen to hear...."

It has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence or lack of. It's all about who you are around for the majority of your time- like at work. Of course, it's also a choice.

Fawk you ya fawking fawk.
Fawk, fawk, fawketty, fawk.

My garage language is probably more colorful then my work language. Then again, I grew up with some people that thought cursing was an art form, not a one word endeavor.

I had a automotive teacher who told this story.
He was out driving somewhere with his daughter in the back seat. With her back there he would sometimes forget she was even there since she would fall asleep on the drive and his road rage would kick in. He really did his best not to cuss around his daughter.
Well, his daughter is in the back really quite and this biker (think 21 speed) is taking up the whole lane and keeping him at about 10 mph on a 45 mph road. Finally he gets his chance to pass and as he does rolls down his window and yells at the biker that he is an asshole. Gets where he is going and realizes his daughter was in the back seat, but thinks oh she was asleep. Not to worry.
Fast forward a few weeks and mom is asking the daughter what she wants for Christmas. Up until now it has been a bicycle. Well, the daughter is headging and saying she really isn't as interested in a bicycle anymore. The mom asks why.
Daughter "I don't want to be an asshole".
My teacher then had to have a conversation with his wife on why his daughter thought bicycle riders were assholes.
I thought it was caused by CO drivers? That is funny, one of the most upsetting things I think is driving down I25 when some moron is doing 62 MPH along side another moron that is doing the same exact speed and no one in front of the both of them for miles.
Brings to mind a little song

It just gets old and detracting to have to filter through the f-bombs of some people to get to the bottom of what they are saying.
I get upset with myself for saying "you know" and "like" too much when I speak. I'm much more well spoken in print than I am on the phone.
I fix trucks and also have occupational turtles.. and sometimes sweet talking them does not work you have to get a bit western with them.
ETA meant Tourette's of course.

You didn't seem to swear at all yesterday, and I was even wondering if I was offending you at one point. The only time I heard you come close to swearing was when you had to don an alternate personality in order to get a response over the radio.

HAHA i was filtering hard as I did not know how you felt about it but still dropped a couple F bombs during antenna swaps

Perhaps you should look a profession other than a church leader.

Hysterical! You know, around my gf's 3.5 y/o I don't swear at all. For some reason she still likes to yell "fuckit, fuckit, fuckit" and giggle nonstop. I know who that came from, and it wasn't fucking me.
Oh yeah, fuck you DD.

I grew up in the mid-Atlantic and grandmothers sitting around sipping tea use the F word 2-3 times in every sentence.
My wife and I actually get embarrassed when we have visitors from there and we go out to restaurants here the every day language is so bad.
I consider myself pretty fucking intelligent... and not just book smarts- well fucking rounded smart.
I blame the Army for increasing my swear jar's capacity.
I learned so many new words aside from all the acronyms:
Fuck-tard
Fuck-nugget
Fuck-stick
Fuck-balls
Fuck-wad
Fuck-for-brains
Hoo-fucking-ahh
Ok so not all of those words I learned in the army, they just reinforced the many uses and situations.
I don't judge based on what words people say, but what point or subject they're knowledgeable in talking about.

I was just noticing the other day that I drop too many F'n F bombs. I made a decision to lower that amount. Still F'n working on it, but my language should get better with F'n time.

I have to admit that I can be a true vulgarian if I don't filter myself.
Guess I'm "high-browed". I think cursing in everyday langauge is f#$%^&ing stupid... Now, if you are just f#@$^%%^&ing cursing to make a f@#$%$%^ing point, then I guess I f#$%^&ing understand. However, I think there are more creative ways of expressing yourself or tearing someone/thing down by cursing...
Besides, cursing has a way bigger and more interesting history... like voodoo dolls, wican incantations/spells, etc. Also, some folklore as F.U.C.K. was an expression in back in the "great ages" (Middle Ages, kings, courts, wars, etc) as a means for troops to replenish their forces for future wars. I.E. Fornication Under Charge of the King. So literally, you would go f@ck someone... hehehe.
