Online, sometimes but I try not to.
In real life, no.

This is like asking "Do you fart?"
Sometimes when I'm in my room alone.
No, when in public (anywhere out of my personal room is public).
 
yeah sadly i do swear way way too much. i would swear right now but my phone does not have any in the dictionary

Well, IIRC you *were* a sailor, so not surprising.
 
yep, way more than i should. i can be a pretty trashy piece of trash sometimes. :/ my wife lets me hear it about too many f-bombs. whatever. i'll try to clean it up honey :roll:
 
i use my fair share of profanity outside of work, but works been a bitch lately and it's really hard to contain.
 
I swear so much, people on XBox live say, "Wow, that guy has a filthy mouth."

What he fucking said. :shocked:
 
I will use them when they seem fitting, no point sugarcoating my feelings when speaking. But of course I know when it's inappropriate and will avoid it, not for them but for myself(ex, I'm not gonna cuss in a job interview).
 
i use it all the time when i'm by myself or around my good friends. i rarely use it while around people at work or people i don't know/know well.
 
Yes, but very very rarely.

Typed, moreso than spoken, partly because I type more than I speak. And I only really swear verbally maybe once or twice a month.

Man, I have once. I worked at an old AM country station. I was bullshitting with a coworker when it was time to hit the cart machine (Basically an endless loop tape cartridge) to cut to commercial. I was also supposed to say something to identify the station and tell of upcoming events and such.

Well, I happened to hit the mic switch, which turned off the studio monitor. So, when i hit the cart machine, I heard no audio and freaked out. I said to my coworker "What the fuck is happening with this shit?" My coworker had a mortified look on his face and I realized he was staring at the mic switch. I realized my mistake and turned off the mic. Last time i ever did anything (unintentionally) stupid on air.

To answer the original question - yes, I tend to pepper conversation with profane language on a regular basis. Even more so that my folks are willing to reciprocate in regular conversations.
 
Yeah. It's a shitty habit that's hard to break, though I do try to watch my mouth around certain people/situations.
