| Pretty simple question: When you are around members of your immediate family or maybe just gathered relatives, do you blatantly curse? Are you allowed to curse? I'm referring to actual profanity aswell, not 'crap', 'dammit', 'hell', etc. I personally don't, it was always implied by my family when they were together that I shouldn't be profusely expressing everything with profanities. I think that it's polite to keep it toned down, but not necessary to completely annex the use of profanities. This is of course irrelevant around your friends and peers, I was always cursing around my mates just not every other word, which I find totally obnoxious. Do you guys think using tons of curse words for every other word in your dialogue is annoying? What's your opinion on profanity, who should you do it around and who shouldn't you do it around? |

| I usually just sit in my room and watch anime |
| Oh yes, I am quite a little bitch around my family lol. They've really had to get used to my foul language :P |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| I'll use 'bitch', 'ass', and 'bastard' around my mom. Not in the context of addressing her as a bitch/ass/bastard, of course. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Yup. Dad doesn't care. Mom asks why I cuss so much, then I become self conscious for a moment and am all like "Oh yeah! I am cussing like a sailor aren't I?". What are you gonna do about it midget? HUH?!? I am a grown ass man! Or I just stop cussing so much around her. Don't do vulgarities though. No idea would I would be saying stuff like that around Mom and Dad. You know, If I was around them much anymore anyways. |

CatSoul said: I'll use 'bitch', 'ass', and 'bastard' around my mom. Not in the context of addressing her as a bitch/ass/bastard, of course. That's cute, I love my mum. She usually doesn't mind me casually cursing around her, as long as it's not obnoxious. Groznij said: Yeah, of course. I mean, it is generally more comfortable to be around family, and so not having to worry about stuff like that. That's nice, families that are comforting and not strict are nice to have. imeli said: yes but not in context towards them unless it's about something really bad they have done. I feel like cursing shouldn't even be used when trying to degrade someone. At a certain point I think cursing ruins your literary skills, you should be able to make fluent sentences with proper words and not just profanities. Soverign said: Yup. Dad doesn't care.

| Yeah I can curse around family but not too much as my dad likes to say "you'll wear them out" Fucking shit thread though, get fucked fucker I can see the humor in something like that example above though, gotta be warranted though (it's not in this case lol) Though they fucking are fucking unique fucking words as fuck can fucking be fucking used a fucking lot in a fucking sentence and fucking still make fucking sense. It's annoying to read and listen to though I agree lol You shouldn't do it around people who expect you not to like a boss, parents aren't your boss and should be more on the friend side which I think is the underlying reason it's ok to curse around them |

| I'm quite comfortable using swear words in front of my parents and older cousin brothers. But I tend to keep it to zero in front of my aunts, uncles and so on. |

You feel me? Although it has been proven when in situations where you are experiencing some type of pain, that use of profanity and specifically 'fuck' reduces the amount of pain marginally, although not remotely stopping the pain ahaha. I also agree with your family being more related to a friend, but that's usually not the case with cursing as it's pretty 50/50 on restricting profanities in homes. |

True... XD Mit5ukii said: I do try to curse less when there's family around thought. I respect that, I do the same thing. Some families don't allow any form of cursing so you're in luck. |
| |
| It's good practice not to use profanities unless you're trying to make a point to someone about their or someone else's behaviour. Profanities are ugly words that inspire bad feelings, so normally you should never use them around family that you have a healthy relationship with. |
| Well yeah, my parents are Asian, they would disown my ass without a second thought, but since I am already over 18, I'll be living under a bridge. But whenever I play video games, they usually don't mind as long as it's not too loud because I have little brothers. |
 |
| Ehh happens I guess but no not normally. My parents are pretty cultured |
  |
| Grew up with a dad who curses, so curse words have no impact with me and i use them in front of anyone. Including family members. I try my best to not curse in front of children though. |
| Seems everyone here has some nice parents. Chibi-Alice said: I try my best to not curse in front of children though. Yeah that's another big issue with profanities, parents seem to either allow cursing or completely disown you if you try to curse. And if you're part of the first group, you tend to start cursing at a younger age, what age do you think profanities become a regular part of your conversation with friends, etc? I have a nephew-in-law who's about 10-12 who tends to curse when he's stupid and can't help himself, what age is it really weird/gross for a kid to curse? |
| |
| I sometimes see kids, around 12 years-old swears. I still wonder if they use that kind of language in their house... :/ |
| All the time. It's extremely rare for me to be able to go even one day without telling my Mom to fuck off. |
 |
| Not around my parents, but with my brother sometimes, lol. But I'm not the type to swear all that much to begin with. |
| Yeah I've been doing it pretty much all my life, but I've trying to do it less; my family is pretty used to it at this point. |
| I cuss on my mic all the time whenever I'm hanging out or playing games with my friends online. My parents don't really care that much. |
 |
| I only casually curse around my siblings, but words can slip around my parents as well. |
| I find it awkward to swear, so I don't personally. Profanity within the family only seems to be an issue when theirs kids around. |
| Nah, I'm too good for that. Ugly language is for ugly people. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I don't use them around anyone. Except when I hit my knee or something. Can't say I enjoy talking with so called casual cursers. Thankfully no one I know does that, at least not anymore. |
| I casually swear only around my friends, although sometimes a word or two slips out of my mouth by accident around my family |
| Considering that I am rather mild it is rare that I swear to my parents. Instead at my brother... |
| Nope, I never swear in front of my parents, and I do think it's just rude to do so. I got scolded when I was a kid and said something similar to "damn". Since then I just started being careful with things like that. Although I rarely curse in general. |
  |
| It's kind of strange. When I talk to my family in English, I don't curse in front of them. But when I talk to them in Spanish, it's perfectly fine to spew whatever. |
  |
| I have a few principles in my life. One of them is not using swear words in conversations. I do swear when I'm alone though. I have a younger cousin who loves to swear when I make little mistakes or when he gets annoyed by the most stupidest things. When we're chatting online that is. He doesn't have the balls to swear when we are talking face to face. |
 |
| No. Never. My late grandfather, who claimed that he had never swore in his life, taught me that swearing is really, really bad and wrong. And ineed, I never swear in front of my family, and I very rarely swear in front of my friends too.

 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| i dont ever curse with my friends or family. |

Dimethylanime said: It's kind of strange. When I talk to my family in English, I don't curse in front of them. But when I talk to them in Spanish, it's perfectly fine to spew whatever. Yeah, you bring up a funny but valid point. As my native language is German, whenever I speak German to my family we're often using profanity, maybe not outright using every form of it but just it's alot more casual for some reason. Pretty weird. Nice to see that alot of people started commenting say they don't, whether it's due to awkwardness, respect, etc. Glad you guys don't feel the need to curse all the time. |
| |
| Yeah depends on which family member. Never around my grandparents. Some lighter words around my mom. Ass, shit, damn. And around my brothers just about anything's on the table. I don't usually curse to offend people or anything though. I dunno more so to lighten the mood, or to like exaggerate or something. They're just words after all. I also barely curse in public. Never really at school, though since I'm really quite at school I don't really say much of anything there anyways. But yeah. |

Good stuff, I feel like profanity is good for some humor and stuff for sure but don't think it's that offensive anymore, maybe because I view it as a barrier. Once you get someone to the point that they start throwing out curse words every other word, it's kind of like they reached their limit and are malfunctioning haha. |
| |
| I don't curse offline. It doesn't sound right, coming from me. I do it all the time online. |

| Online it's one "fuck" per paragraph. IRL only when I'm making an important point or every other word depending on company. |
| There is just no way some dumbass politician will be on television and I won't start shooting the most vulgar curses at him that I can think of. I will actually be mad at my family if they won't join me at it. |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| I have a bad habit of saying fuck. A lot. |
 |
| I've never said a dirty wordy before. |
