So you shared your face with us, but what makes you YOU?

It's so funny...human nature, how we express ourselves and how others perceive us. Hearing you explain why you curse gives me a totally different take on it. I've never thought about it that way before. Brutal honesty!

I rarely curse. I have to be out of my mind angry to let the expletives fly. To me, the English language is full of so many wonderful words! The more I'm familiar with, the more accurately I can express exactly how I'm feeling at any given moment. I've always found a person who punctuates every sentence with a curse word to be grammatically lazy. When I listen to the guys I work with, I'm so distracted by the shear amount of f-bombs they can squeeze into a very normal conversation, that I have a difficult time even understanding what they're getting at. And then the curse word loses it's power somehow, and doesn't even mean anything anymore.

It's not that I'm a prude, when I'm red-hot angry I think it's very acceptable to illustrate this with well-timed cursing meant to deliver a message.

However, it's interesting what you said about the correlation between cursing and honesty. Not sure why they go together, but interesting nonetheless.

in high school i was friends with people who flatly refused to curse (church types). they accepted me as i was because they knew me and it was a big part of me: emotional honesty. the thing with me is: i never swear at people. i swear when my emotions are raised, or i'm talking about something with passion. this was how my household communicated emotion growing up: yelling and cursing. i consider my swearing a sign of vulnerability tbh; because it's all i have left to prove how i feel. i know it comes off negatively, but i literally can't help it. and i'll never use a curse derogatorily unless you're like that guy at the bar a few weeks ago who was screaming and spitting in a woman's face; where it's more nouns than adjectives.
