How often do you use profanity IRL?

Too much when im angry. Some when im not angry

Pretty much every 8th word or so is some sort of swear word. It's probably an Irish Catholic thing.

The 'hypoalgesic effect' of cursing-----
Probably dogs feel better when they bark, too.

I knew there was some plausible reason why I effing use the effing F word so effing much

 

[BIMOG]

I never swore until I was eleven, when the school bully and his two sidekicks cornered me and tortured me into repeating every swear word and filthy word that they could think of. I don't swear now in real life because I don't talk to real people at all if I can avoid it. I tend to swear to myself when I lose my temper, which isn't very often and doesn't last for long when it does happen.

With friends, I tend to swear every other sentence. It's just something I picked up from being with them, mirroring their conversational styles.

Conversely, when I get angry, which is rare, I don't swear at all, and it tends towards a tranquil fury sort of thing.

How often do you use profanity in your real-world interactions with people?

I don't use it at all. I might THINK IT ... but I would never ever use it.

This is my 26th year in the field of education. I'm a teacher and using inappropriate language in a classroom setting would be a violation of district policy. It would also be wrong to use this vocabulary in front of the students so I long ago conditioned myself to not curse at all so as to avoid inadvertently blurting something out that's inappropriate in the heat of the moment.
