Do you find yourself swearing more or less as you get older?

I worked with a women who has a mouth like a sailor. She swears even just in a normal conversion and even when talking to people she just met. I am guessing she was raised around a family who swore a lot because I don't even think it occurs to her as she's doing it. It was quite a shock until I got used to it.

I would say overall less especially compared to my teens and twenties. I am 39 now.

still, the goal is to keep it to a minimum and I got a ways to go before I reach that level as one area I made real progress on it using GD and the like as about the only time that word specifically comes out is usually one of those moments where say you stub your toe or do something that just sets you off quickly. but it's pretty much minimal to nothing outside of those occasional things like that.

That's a good thing as there is no unfortunate about it!

or look at it this way... we won't be using the F word etc etc in Heaven. so it's either we break that habit now, or it will be broken in the next life, in purgatory, before eventually reaching Heaven.

hell, I still got work to do in using less language as while I cut back some vs back in the day it's not where it should be which is pretty much minimal to nothing. plus, my sisters kids ain't getting any younger (a 4 and a 6 year old) and I really got to watch it around them but sometimes it slips out in casual conversion when talking to my sister etc and they happen to be in the area. I usually am somewhat aware and scale it back some but every now and then your sort of getting into whatever conversation your talking about and at least some mild ones come out and not long after you realize you said it.

I guess I don't mind someone using F word etc too much. but at the same time if a good portion of the words that come out of their mouth is F this and F that, that's a bit too much.

I suppose. My niece is a cusser and has an 8 and 10 year old. when she wanted to cuss, She just started spelling out "Fuck You" in the melody of the "final jeopardy" theme.

this is pretty much me! but as i've mentioned before, I don't do it as much Since I'm not surrounded by people who constantly piss me off, lol

Definitely more as I got into my teen years.

I take that back, my friend's dad (I live with my friends parents) does say "Damn" and they're ok with "crap" and "pissed". but that's it

I would say less but I often swear after I have accidents or when I am having sex.

Less around younger ppl, the same around peers.
