zachs · Mar 10, 2004, 09:25 PM

A fair amount...but not like every other word.

voyageur · Mar 10, 2004, 09:33 PM

Almost never. But, I'm older than many others here.

thePurpleGiant · Mar 10, 2004, 09:37 PM

I don't swear.
I don't smoke.
I don't drink.

**** I left my smokes at the pub!

(sorry had to say it)

Zoom_zoom · Mar 10, 2004, 09:37 PM

I have no idea.

amsalpemkcus · Mar 10, 2004, 09:46 PM

****ing swear all the ****ing time...

nredman · Mar 10, 2004, 09:47 PM

i swear too much...but in the words of Eric Cartman..."What's the big deal? It doesn't hurt anybody. F***-f***ety-f***-f***-f***."

spiky_dog · Mar 10, 2004, 10:22 PM

i only swear when alone in the car

wdlove · Mar 10, 2004, 10:24 PM

I don't swear, never have liked to hear it either.

dlefebvre · Mar 10, 2004, 10:32 PM

I swear a lot, but I used to swear to much. So there's hope.

ryju · Mar 10, 2004, 10:32 PM

I rarely swear. And I can't even remember why I do anyways.

cheerios · Mar 10, 2004, 10:36 PM

only when I drive or when I code...

so... alot I guess....

I told a car I hated them, today... bastards stopped at a green light 'cuz they wanted to go straight in a left-turn only lane & the forward light was red. retards... can't see hte curvy arrow without the straight arrow??? *glares* 2nd f'er to do that this month... first one nearly got rear-ended pulling that ****.

xi_hyperon · Mar 10, 2004, 11:16 PM

Only when Dreamweaver crashes.

Scientist · Mar 10, 2004, 11:45 PM

I almost never swear outloud. I swear in my head a lot though. I'd like to think I'd be pretty good at it if I started though.

Cipher13 · Mar 11, 2004, 12:04 AM

Depends. Sometimes, not at all; sometimes, a lot.

I can go from drunken-Irish-sailor to preppy-English-heir in no time.

basscat · 12:55 AM

Not nearly as much as I should, considering the ****wits I am surrounded by everyday.....

dampeoples · Mar 11, 2004, 12:49 AM

I swear a lot

People who cuss habitually usually make themselves sound ignorant.

IMHO of course.

So you're quite the potty mouth.

jonasmac · Mar 11, 2004, 02:40 AM

Almost never out loud. But on EXTREMELY rare occasions, I have to admit to thinking a curse word here and there (thanks a lot Quentin Tarantino movies)...especially when Dreamweaver crashes! I do say "crap" a lot, though.

I guess I never really got into cussin' and swearin', finding it vulgar and not profitable to say or to listen to.

Eciton · Mar 11, 2004, 05:54 AM

Quite a lot, but bizarrely not nearly as much as I used to... not quite sure why.

Swearing can be creative, which is why I like it.

acadian · Mar 11, 2004, 06:15 AM

@$%# %^&*(! ^&*(&^%$#&*(!)*&^#@*((@*&*((!)))@((***(!(....

nuts......

nobitacu · Mar 11, 2004, 07:15 AM

I don't ever swear unless I get really really really pissed off at something. And that rarely happens... Which is a good thing.

Ming

Amorya · Mar 11, 2004, 07:33 AM

I swear fairly often, if I need a word to express strong feelings. I don't (often) swear at people, though - not unless they really deserve it. Swearing at technology is fairly commonplace though!

while camping a couple years back, a large group of us got busted for playing a card game. we changed the rules around, but the root of it is 'go fish'. well we call the game, 'go f yourself'. as the day drags on, and the beers empty, we get louder. will the ranger came around and got on his high horse. this is a family campground and we can't have you talking like that. the only f word we use around here is family (course, i had to ask, so you don't have FUN around here...which made him ask for my ID, etc). anyway, for the rest of the weekend, we played the game 'go family yourself'.

but anyway, yes...i swear. and apparantly, not when it is appropriate too

Gankdawg · Mar 11, 2004, 11:51 AM

Not nearly as much as I used to.

Xeo · Mar 11, 2004, 12:03 PM

More than I should, I'm sure. I usually only do it when I'm around people who know me well. And I'm usually the only one doing it. It only comes out in exclamation though (ie. "F***!"). I don't use it in regular conversation, (ie "So I went to the f'in store and got some f'in gas...").

ghost_flash · 12:30 PM

Edited out quote: Sorry about that, my mistake.

I think swearing takes on a whole new level of idiocy when a presidential hopeful sees fit to use obsenity to get his point across. I wonder how he treats his own family, friends and strangers in his personal life?

Xeo · 01:19 PM

this post is irrelevant now since it was just a mistake

zigzag · Mar 11, 2004, 01:11 PM

I try to swear at least 18-20 times a day, double on holidays.

Well, when someone is always swearing, and you're not used to it, it makes it seem like that person doesn't have any other way to express what they mean. There are so many possibilities in English that getting your point across can be done in much more eloquent ways than putting a vulgar term in the middle for no apparent reason. What's the purpose of it in the first place? Habit? To sound cool? It probably started out as the latter and is now just the former. Perhaps, if you swear in everyday conversation, you should stand back and think about why.

Zimp certainly wasn't calling you or anyone else ignorant. He said it makes them sound ignorant, to him. And as someone who doesn't swear in normal conversation, I know what he means. I catch others' conversations while walking or eating at the cafeteria and it's amazing how much swearing is used. There's no real reason for it. That's just the way they talk. As an outsider, it just sounds stupid to me. It certainly doesn't make me interested in what they are talking about. In fact, it dissuades me.

residentEvil · Mar 11, 2004, 01:28 PM

True, I try not to swear too much for this reason. I like a well timed swear word though...

benb · Mar 11, 2004, 02:32 PM

Zero. What's the need?

xi_hyperon · Mar 11, 2004, 02:54 PM

Originally posted by philzilla:

Pretty close to it, yes.

I do try to keep it to myself as a courtesy to my fellow cube farmers, although it's difficult at times. Luckily they are using DW too and so they understand.

ShortcutToMoncton · Mar 11, 2004, 03:12 PM

I go back and forth, but I try to stick in the creative swear word regularly when in impolite conversation.

Of course, it also depends on your definition of "swearing." Is shi� a swear word? F��k? Christ? Depending on whom you talk to, I'm sure the answer would vary widely...

malvolio · Mar 11, 2004, 03:54 PM

I swear when I get f***ing p*ssed off at something.
On the topic of excessive and/or inappropriate swearing, my sister once told me about a roommate of hers who inserted swear words into phrases that didn't really call for profanity, such as "Please pass the f***ing butter."
Although come to think of it, that request could have been inspired by recently watching Last Tango in Paris�

funkboy · Mar 11, 2004, 08:54 PM

Dreamweaver has a disproportionate representation in this thread.

Dreamweaver, therefore, is not that good.

Does anyone know about the new beta that's rumored to be a big step forward from the current Mac OS X DreamWeaver?

Fcuk no. It's way fcuking better than GoLive.

I got Dreamweaver MX and it rocks. Not one crash ever. Bunch of crybabies the lot of you!
I need a Fcuking cigarette.
