how often do you curse?

I'm not that much of a curser. You have to get me REALLY angry for me to do it, and even then I draw the line at saying the Lord's name in vain. (although, using other curse words besides that probably isn't much better.
So, what about the rest of you?

I tend to use words like crap, hell, and b**stard quite a lot. I will definitely think of the stronger swear words such as s or f bombs but I only whisper them to myself. I rarely say them out loud.

It's not something I'm really proud of, it's just a bad habit.

Definitly a bad habit of mine. I even think or say curses when I'm just talking to myself or thinking through a scenerio.

Everything all the time out loud for everyone to hear. Parents with young children beware. I will scar your child for life.

Occasionally. More often than rare, less often than once in a while. I think I use them in my head more often than I say them out loud. I definitely use the d-word the most often. Not around any but my closest friends or unless I've hurt myself, though, so I suppose it's not too bad?

It doesn't bother me much, though- I'm used to talking to my brother, who's picked up a bit of a mouth from his friends and classmates.

All the time, constantly, especially when playing video games or watching shows I like.

I've cursed when I smashed my pinkie toe and broke it when walking out of the bathroom. I almost never curse. If I curse, it's when no one's around and I don't scream it. I haven't cursed in a long time. I use the word crap all the time, if I'm angry, I'll use hell. I feel bad for cursing though. It's so ugly.

I remember when my sister's alarm went off in the middle of the night one time it scared me so bad that I sat up straight and was all like, "Sh**!!!" XD;;; But no, I VERY rarely curse. Okay when I get really mad I sometimes do under my breathe, but that's rare too. XD
Anyway, my answer is rarely or never.

If I am among friends or people whom I know aren't offended by it, I swear like a sailor, especially if I'm playing video games that I really suck at. But I have a different opinion on "bad words" than most people do; I see it as more like talking very informally rather than talking "dirty".

All of this. I really don't have a problem with it, but I do tend to avoid it when around certain people.

Right. It's a politeness thing.

I only say the D word and crap. Actually, I say crap a lot. XD But I rarely rarely use the D word, and that's only when I'm either by myself, or have my bestest best friend with me. And even more rare is the time when I say it out loud.

Though when I'm mad, I can cuss like nuthin else. But that doesn't happen very often.

I rarely curse. I don't see the reason to it. You can express yourself or let out your anger in a different way. But it would slip out if I get waaay suprized or angry honestly.

But I usually use the alternate way, by saying frig, crud, or heck. That's pretty much it.

The funny thing about the Angry Video Game Nerd is, in real life, he's quite a shy nice guy. He's relatively soft spoken.

Wow really? I didn't knew that. I guess his acting really fooled me of him as his actual personality.

Normally only to myself when I'm alone or at home, never around church folk, but it happens a good deal at work. I work around people who do it all the time and it just makes it happen more. =/
It is something I have been trying to work on though.

Yeah, I should mention that like others, even though I use "bad" language constantly, I hold back from using it in the company of others who are bothered by it, out of respect.

This pretty much my answer. ^_^ I am actually averse to swearing but I don't have a problem with derivatives. Unfortunately though, I let myself go with my late life experiences and lost a bit of control on that for a bit. But better now. don't swear very often anymore.

I used to swear all the time, nothing was out of bounds except blaspheming, even before I was saved.

Then I stopped almost completely with maybe one or two if I didn't watch myself.

Lately I've been doing it more often again though, but it's because I spend a lot of time with people who swear and I started doing it more without realizing it at first. Trying not to though.

I don't, not out loud, anyway. If I feel the need to, I use mineral or rock names; it's a little more creative (and dorkier, probably) than the standard words, and there's some classics out there.

Rarely. The most I normally I say crap, heck, darn, etc at the strongest. On a couple of RARE occasions I almost have muttered certain "swear" words, such as h*ll, b**ch, and b*****d. But I either quickly change the word, or just whisper it under my breath. Most of my swearing is actually in my head, and there a couple of s and f bombs have scattered in my mind, along with every other swear word I know.

I went with the "Rarely or never" option. I never curse out loud. Sometimes if I'm really fired up, I'll come *close* to it, but I stop and pray to get the words out of my head before they come out of my mouth. Honestly, I'm not proud of some of the things I even think of... :-/ I'm trying to get them out of my head, which is a lot easier said than done.

I tend to do a lot of cursing at a time, but go a while between batches. I curse up a bunch of useful gear every two-three months, and strew it about in local dungeons just to mess with unwary adventurers.

(What? You want a real answer? Okay, the real answer is that I think the question itself is faulty because it conflates cursing with profanity and vulgarity, rather than dealing with it as properly defined.)

I use the most foul cursewords and blasphemize nearly every single day, because nearly every little thing sets me off. I honestly don't know what I'm doing on these boards...

I rarely use swear words, it might happen once in a while though. But I do tend to think them sometimes when angry, although I try to not get angry at all it doesn't always work. ;p

Yeah I rarely curse especially around areas where I know I shouldn't. However around close friends if I'm trying to make a point I'll say "s**t" instead for more importance or if we are just goofing around I may say something. But with these instances it is very rare.

Mostly I say crap all the time. I do not consider crap a cuss word. lol To me it's just like saying fart.

If you say crud you're saying the substitute word of a substitute word for the real thing. XD So I don't find anything wrong with saying crap, unless I'm doing like a major presentation, then it wouldn't be proper at all. lol

I rarely ever use curse words aloud. When I do I am shocked at myself.

I don't really curse out loud, but when I'm playing a field hockey game, and a goal is scored in my team's goal because I missed the ball, I'll say near-curse words or very small curse words under my breath once in a while. I always pray, though, that no one heard me say anything. I really need to fix that habit, though, because even if the refs or players can't hear me, God can hear me.
