    Default 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.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    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.
