i  don't  have emotional  out  burst
i  rearly  use  profanity  unless  it  is an accurate  description

never  minded  when  someone  cussed  infront  of  my children
they  understood  it was  a sign  of emotional  instability  and lack of education

as  a lifelong  construction  worker  i was  surrounded  by profanity
and  i  never  did   ''get   it''

people  are  offended  when  i politely  ask  them  why they  talk  that  way
i  have   yet  to get  a logical  answer

even  had  a man  threaten  me with  violence  just  because  a sk  him  if  it   was  possible
for  him  to communicate  with  out  using  these  three  words.............  he  flipped  out  and  used  them  all

I told my wife about this thread and then asked her about some other phrases that her grand-dad used.  He used numbers like 50 million, as in "This tractor stalled 50 million times in the tobacco ground today!"  Then I remembered one of my wife's favorite expressions, "Bless Pat."  It is used the same way as "bless his heart".  "Bless Pat, if that isn't the dumbest man that ever lived!"  My girls' favorite "F" word is "frickin."  They use it as a substitute for the other one.

Cuss words are like icing on a cake. The cake is bland with out it.
but yes, there is a time and place for good cuss words.
The movie "The Christmas Story" has a classic example.

I'm with Williamlayton, if it needs saying make it good.

20 years in the military, I learned it good.

I also learned when to keep it in and not say things at the wrong times, or in front of the wrong people.

After my heart surgery, the nurses said I sure colored up the recovery room for a while.  I was coming out from under the anastesia and was not fully conscious, and cussing up a blue streak.  I don't remember a thing about it.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

  DAGNABBIT ! Why did you start this thread ? Years ago when I was first saved, I had some substitute words that I could use..even if I started with the wrong words.  Back then you may have heard me use terms such as "sugar" and "fudge"..

Thanks to a young lady I met a little over fifty years ago I am convinced that profanity is nothing more than a conversational crutch.  It serves a need for those that that otherwise have a limited vocabulary.  

That’s my “dadbillberburn” opinion and I’m sticking to it! ::) 8) :D ;D

I guess I am a profane man. I enjoy a good cuss now and then.  When I am hurt or all heated up a good cuss takes the pressure down a notch. If someone is, acting like  or is resembling a body part, why not say so! A person don't know who there behaving after sometimes they need reminding, my wife does so quite a bit.  When I was a youth and collecting bills I learned all the different names a man or in some cases animal can be called and reviled by pretty regular.  I often wondered how I could get into those  positions described to me  or out of it for that matter.  I think a good cuss is informative in instances and I imagine you can let your feelings be known quite succinctly with one word.  So there can be brevity to a good cuss. Oh well just my thoughts.
