I do at school, but not at home. Even then, generally only milder ones like Bollocks (which I say comically: bollix!), *****, and Feck.
This. What's so bad about them? I never figured it out.Jaranja said:I don't see why it's frowned upon. They're just words people.
Are you british?Wild Cat said:Yes, but I try to vary it with an amusing tone. My newest is "bollocks!"
actually that's is very wrong, you can swear and be intelligent and have a well constructed argument that contains swear words. i mean i could easily interject the word fuck into this sentence and it would still be a reasonably well constructed sentence and would also give credence to my sentence. it's not the word it's how you use the word, i mean i could use big $20 words and still sound like a total asshole but i could also swear like a sailor and sound very reasonableBaby Tea said:Swearing is the same. It portrays an inability to articulate yourself properly. Now, before the quotes pour in saying 'I can articulate myself just fine and I swear!', then allow me to point out the qualifier word 'portrays'. I know there are plenty of articulate people who swear plenty, but it's hard to take them as serious, intelligent people when their vocabulary seems to be restricted to 4 letter words.
