Does A Foul Mouth Mean A Foul Personality?

Many people are always saying that people who swear don't have a very nice personality. And, mostly, I can see what they mean. It usually implies that the person in question lacks in some form of intelligence or are unable to express themselves in any other way. The personality under all the swearing and exterior, may, also, not be pleasant.

But I do know people who tend to swear a lot, but are actually quite nice. So is it just some messed up people that swear who give everyone else a bad name?

Personally I rarely swear, and when I do it's usually out of anger or fear. But I do believe F, N and C words are totally unacceptable and I would never say them nor write them.

Also, is another reason for the association with swearing and a bad personality to do with the type of people who swear? As many people who are brought up in rough, less educated areas tend to swear more than people in a higher class and with more education. I think this is the fact that many have grown up with people just like them who swear a lot and, also, the fact that they do not have enough education to find other words or express themselves in other ways. So therefore, in some ways, it is not their fault. But I do realize that not everyone fits into these "stereotypes." I'm just using general examples and do not believe that everyone is like this.

I also believe that what someone says and how they say it reflects a person's personality. So maybe the use of strong language could reflect a strong personality and not necessarily a fowl mouth that reflects a fowl personality.

I think swear has been stereotyped, very much, to people who have bad personalities, which I think is very unfair on the people who are the exceptions to this stereotype. Though, I can see how this stereotype has been formed and I don't believe that swearing is right.

Quackpotty What's your final view? Does the different use of language reflect the type of person that they are, or their personality?
Personally I think that if someone swears when any other word wold have done just as well, they are wrong to do it. It wasn't really necessary, and they perhaps do it only for expressing a negative feeling rather than because there wasn't another word useable. The English language is beautifully vast, so why swear? It does reflect on personality, IMHO. Foul lang isn't needed - 3 months ago
ashleakate I think that it can represent a persons personality or maybe their background as they may not know any better. I personally rarely swear, unless its in a sudden shock, fear or anger. Which quite rare anyway.
I don't agree with swearing, especially the stronger words, which I never say. And I always apologize to whoever I have sworn in front of as it usually a spur of the moment. - 3 months ago

Guys: Do you really fall in love with a girl?
lvrgirl2011 asked Yesterday

Yes, I've been in love.

No, I've never been in love.

I'm scared to love someone.

LOVE is an over-used word that doesn't have meaning.
