Poll question: How bad is your language?
Do you swear? A little? A lot? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

10. I've found that
well placed swear words tend to amplify the feeling in the statements I'm making. It also helps that the peoples who are offended by such language tend to stay away from me.

11. I really shock people when I come up with a 4 letter word as
my appearance is very prim and proper, ex-Catholic school girl all the way. Tee hee. Little do they know what a radical leftie I am inside.

12. It depends...
...Am I tied to a chair, eyes forced open watching Chimpy umm his way through a press conference? Context, people, context!

seriously though, I do swear a bit. I try to avoid the 'f-bomb' though.

16. I think the "if provoked" option covers it
I have discovered many new and colorful phrases over the last four years...the little fuckwit (oops) does bring out the best in people.

14. I'll happily hit an F-note if the occasion arises.
For fun, rather than anger though...

15. A lot
But I'm getting so accustomed to using the 'kid friendly' variety that they're taking over. So now it's often 'you silly dunderhead' and 'gosh darned joker' and 'stinker' and such...

17. I still say "crumbs!" when I'm thinking something else
although we have pretty much given up on "ass" and variations. She even says them now. What's a mother to do?

19. Terrible.
It drives my officemate nuts -- he's a nice enough guy, but nothing worse than "jackass" has slipped from his mouth in my presence.

20. I let fly occassionally, unless its about bush
then there's no telling what I might say. I usually say nothing to avoid burning someone's ears off, or getting fired.

21. Someone once said to me, "Your grammar's atrocious."
I said, "Hey! Leave my relatives out of this!"

22. I let one rip, but I don't
attack people with name-calling. My bad language is more descriptive in nature.

23. I can control my speech and temper, but if I'm tired or out-of-sorts...
I can cuss like there's no tomorrow. It's even inspired, sometimes! :evilgrin:

24. I think inspired cussing is an art form
as in, "Jesus H. Christ in a jumped-up sidecar!"
