I told someone that cursing showed that she had limited vocab to express her thoughts and showed that she was not mature. She was mad and defended herself.
However, I don't think that cursing per se is "bad" because sometimes a curse word gives strong emphasis, but if someone is always like "f**king this" and "f**king that" when expressing their opinions, that does make the person's character look bad. Some people on here if you're not using offensive words and are just asking for opinions, they curse all the way through their comments.
I don't usually curse, but I use euphemism in extreme cases. For example, my coworkers are lazy and they blame other people for not doing things that they're supposed to do themselves, and they spend at least 70% of the work hours chitchatting and watching movies and videos on their work computers. I told my sister that whoever does not want to work, should just stay home and F themselves. That I think is an appropriate usage.
Not really unless it's every five seconds then it be a turn off, if they started swearing loudly in a shop or something I'd find it so embarrassing but I think swearing is something we all do and is practically normal it's a expression of emotion. Sometimes it's a little bit of a turn on for me because it tells me he's real and isn't trying too hard to come off prim and proper them type of men boar me.
No. As long the person use variations and don't use racist words it's fine. If the person only used f-bombs, I would find it a bit boring and think that person should use other words too. Swearing is okay, because it express emotions and a point better. Swearing don't harm anyone as long you don't bully anyone. Actually, swearing don't mean anyone have a limited vocabulary. It's just a false myth people invented because they didn't like swearing. Keeping things casual and not all formal or strictly may be a good thing sometimes. No one is perfect for fuck sake.
That is such a false notion its sickening. There have been multiple studies that have found a direct correlation to cursing and the overall vocabulary and honesty of people. They have found that people who curse more often typically have larger, more expansive vocabularies then people who dont. The general idea behind it is that we use curse words more often to "dumb" things down... not to mention there are so many different meanings for curse words when used in various contexts. They also found that people who curse tend to be more honest about things.

I don’t care... I use foul language pretty often. I never swear at people though, just in general conversation.
Not unless you do it excessively.
I don't have a limited vocabulary, on the contrary. However, I DO swear regularly in stressful situations, as a means to divert my frustration, my anger, or my helplessness, and get a hold of myself. It helps me focus, sort of like how one might play with their key, punch something, or stomp with their feet.
I would gladly be with someone who swears for similar reasons, or reasons that make sense, as long as they are willing to try and change for the better to make outselves more pleasant in each other's company.
The statement that one would have a limited vocabulary, or would be unintelligent, just because they swear, I detest. For one, if you have a thing for understanding how intelligent someone is, you know that you don't have to even watch vocabulary - usually intelligence radiates from one's actions and demeanor.
Secondly, swearing can be used simultaneously with a varied vocabulary, to put emphasys where emphasys is needed, or to take away the edge of certain statements, just to mentiom a few examples.
Well, its a very expressionate thing to do. Like, if you only could use one word for a week fu@k would be pretty handy. The word in itself isn't bad. Thats just the same as any taboo word.
These words gets a bad reputation because the way they are used. When somebody is appearing overly upset, out of control, and potentially violent, then it warrants condemnation. Most people that swear do so with a total lack of consideration. You can also tell that these same people dont have good character traits associated to self control. Like, if you threw a chair across the room when you get mad over something petty, it might be safe to assume that throwing chairs is a turn off.
It doesn't bother me at all. Although I don't think it should be done in front of young children.
The idea of it being a lack of vocabulary is pop psychology with nothing behind it. There hasn't been many studies on it, but those studies show just the opposite. Cussing is more associated with higher intelligence and larger vocabulary.
They are just words, but expressive words. Refusing to use them means not taking advantage of available words which often have no comparable substitute. That's not say they can't be over used or abused, but that's true of most words.
Once there is intimacy a small amount of cursing and usage of swear words can be neglected, generally speaking, most men will perceive a woman who curses and uses swear words as uneducated. Not to mention that it can compromise the perception of the woman’s femininity.
I am split on the yes and no. If the person is constantly cursing in every sentence that they speak then yes it's a turn off. If they say it when the situation makes sense (in my mind) then no. When I say a situation makes sense I mean someone is cooking and they go to the living room to watch tv since it's in the oven and then they realize that it's been too long and as they're hurrying to the oven they're like, "shit, shit shit..." opens the oven door and sees the burned food and is like, "ah fuck, damn it!" Then that doesn't bother me.
Technically no but it can be. I think cursing is fine as long as it isn't excessive and/or directed at me. I like cursing, it's fuckin' fun. But there's a time and a place. For instance, I don't appreciate cursing when arguing with someone. Nor do I appreciate someone cursing at me or calling me names.
Actually it doesn't show they have a limited vocabulary. I bet some are smarter than even you are. It shows they choose to use words like that at times despite the other many words they know to Express themselves. I'm curious tho. When others choose to tell someone to "f'ck off", what do you say instead?
It is situational for me so it depends on what is happening and what the conversation needs. An F-bomb thrown at the right time can be funny or sexy and exactly what the situation needs at that time. Get a room full of kids and she's swearing like a sailor then no, so like everything it's all down to time and place.
I don't mind if swear words are used in what I consider to be an acceptable situation. However I find it to be a turn off when used in normal everyday conversation.
To me it lacks class. For example if I see an attractive lady and I hear her casually swearing, I imagine her doing that in front of my colleagues at a work function. It's a complete turn off.
It's a turn off if someone curses during a general conversation , but not if they only curse when they're angry or frustrated
Some people curse all the time, and it just makes them appear foolish and immature. It's as if they think it makes them look tough. Lol
I know some people who only curse when they're in the company of others who curse. They're easily influenced by other people
I don't find cursing a turn-off. I usually only use swear words when something or someone really gets to me or when I'm really mad.
And I feel that should be it, it's only to bring across a certain point and emotion more effectively. To use it in normal everyday speech kinda disputes that purpose.
I’d say generally there is no place for it in a relationship. Nor is there really a need for it. If you have to resort to cursing and swearing in argument or heated discussion then I’m my opinion you’ve lost. People use it to emphasise their meaning or emotion but to me it’s just vulgar and a really awful use of language
I agree with the asker , if you don't have anything to say besides those words we are not talking. The thing I can't stand is the same 3 words in each sentence they speak. I'm not going to preach but do you really have to say F and S that literally every other word. I dont see anything besides immature nature. And it show your lack of intellect
Hey, as long as they have a filter and know when and where they can and shouldn't cuss. There's some people that just cannot filter themselves and will be like swearing in front of other people's children and I'm like no.
In my parents house and around other peoples children, my mouth is God. Around my friends my mouth is the Devil.
Sweet, cursing and swear words may be sexual too.
By example, me and a beautiful girl on a role play.
I swear to God, you are gonna regret this day ( epic voice here), this night you are gonna shout loud until the damn cops come here.
It's funny, but when he likes you, it's horny too.
I prefer that people use their full vocabulary when talking to me. If Swearing is a part of that then so be it. I dislike the overly filtered language which is spoken almost everywhere now. Shaming an Asshole into talking the way most people prefer just hides the Ass to a point where you won't see them coming when they snap. And someone else will have to dig your Hole after they do.
Yeah, it is. I mean, I can understand someone's frustration or anger about something specific and them cussing because of that. But cussing all the time or cussing for no reason? No. That - I CAN'T understand. If you have the urge to cuss all the time, then you have serious problems.
Cursing is ok & inevitable during fits of anger or frustration. But for me it’s a turn-off when it’s used too regularly in casual conversations.
Like you, I find it shows a limited vocabulary and are just useless filler words, like “like” which is just as obnoxious
