Atmosphere contributes a lot. One gets used to it and it becomes second nature. One has to TRY not to cuss...............

People swear for a number of reasons usually related to an outburst of certain emotions, swearing can also become a habit for some people.

Maybe they think it is cool to cuss.

Maybe they do not communicate well and can't find other words to describe their feelings.

Maybe they do it as an added insult to the person they are cussing at.

The use of profanity is a linguistic skill bordering on art in the expression of raw emotion, outrage and "low-life candid, slum speak" where the meaning of words is often distorted into meanings and terms having an implied meaning in subtle conversation. Fluency and skill in the use and application of these language vars broadens ones social realm and provides a clearer understanding of cultural differences.

Historically our language has evolved and the term “Pluck" was earlier used to describe the action of drawing a bow in order to launch arrows.     

It becomes a habit  that is almost impossible to break yourself from.

Children follow the adults that they admire the most for what they do more than what they say.

They are many cussin' out there that are pretty @#$ marvelous people. Until a person has to stop in order to meet their basic needs or strive for personal desires, they don't see the need.

Since when is it not? Most if not all cuss words have their roots in earthy bodily processes...to take offense at these is a joke in itself!! We make God(s) laugh! Why do we waste our time in wanting others to conduct themselves in such and such a manner? I have better things to do than to think or decide to take offense at what others may say. Funny.

Cussing is great!  However, however, however, there is a time a place for everything.  If you don't know the proper time and place to cuss, get somebody to teach you. Otherwise don't cuss.

Some people think it's OK to cuss because no one has told them it is offensive and to leave the cuss words out of conversation with him/her.  Generally, anyone with even a tiny bit of courtesy will can the garbage mouth if asked politely.  

My sons are NOT ignorant people, but they have exactly one adjective and one adverb, which are exactly the same offensive word.  They use this word, I think, because it is a "big boy" word and makes them sound "manly".  

Movies and TV are loaded down with vulgarities;  if we are going to pay to sit through obscenities, what's the problem with accepting it in our daily lives?  

I have to be awfully irritated to use foul language, and I always regret it as soon as it comes out of my mouth. 

My rule of thumb is " if you got nothing good to say, then say nothing"

I dont think its cool to swear and definately not in front of Children I have swore mainly when I am driving and when I get upset and it does release some tension why we do it is another question my parents never never ever swore not even in temper i feel most people swear if they were honest
