    Well I do at times, but I try not to....I still cringe with the F word, coming out of a womans mouth..

    That word comes outta my mouth alot, in all its grammatical forms.

    Here is how a middle-aged elder's wife explained it to me...

    "Curse words are SO efficient. I can either use a SINGLE curse word, or use several sentences to express my frustration."

    There you have it.

    It's about economy of language.

    How can you argue with that?

    Even though I was raised as a witness I have always cussed . As a kid when my brothers pissed me off i could swear a blue streak ! My Dad and his parents were not witnesses and were of Irish heritage , some how i think the swearing ability was inherited through them :)

    When I married my husband I tried soooo hard not to swear ......He NEVER swore ,but would use the word "Pickle" as his euphemism of choice . Since our fade I quit trying so hard not to swear, and usually let the words fly when the situation calls for some emphasis . However my husband now swears too ....I really don't like it when he does, because it sounds so unnatural coming from him .I actually cringe if he says the f word .

    If I'm driving past a Kingdom Hall, I "might" just use a few choice words, every now and then.

    it's just like geordies too....they have such a friendly accent......i.e...they could tell you they are going out to rape and kill some women......and put a ........"whay ay man" at the end of it and it would sound good

    The "F" word is probably my favorite and most used profanity.
