Do you curse, swear, use foul language or profanities?
One rule in our home when I was a kid was to never utter such words. The moment mom heard a single foul word or swearing, she'll slap our mouth.
An elementary classmate of mine made me feel uncomfortable because every word that comes out of her mouth were swearing. She couldn't make a single sentence without using foul words. And we were just kids!
We never became friends though we were in the same volleyball team.

I do not swear. I understand other people do, and that is their business. But if it is done excessively (note I said EXCESSIVELY ) around me, I’ll remove myself from that person’s company. I don’t care if they want to and would never tell them to change. I just personally don’t want to hear it, and will take steps not to.

I od understand that it's an expresso for others and sometimes it's funny. But if it makes me uncomfortable, I really don't want to be around with that person.
That particular girl I mentioned the discussion has really sharp tongue. If you accidentally bump into her, shell curse you and utter words that are really offensive even if you already apologized for accidentally doing so. Really rude!

@AmbiePam I'll sit in a restaurant and hear people (usually men) have whole conversations punctuated with the "F" word and yes, I've walked back to those people and said, "Why don't you try expanding your vocabulary a little bit other than saying "F"? Don't you realize people sitting around you, including families and children can hear you?" And yes, I know it's not my place to lecture them, but sometimes I'd just had enough.

If I'm angry/upset about something, then I might use foul language. Sometimes there's no other way to express yourself.

I don't swear. My husband never wanted to hear those words come out of my mouth.

I swear a little bit but just around my husband and small words like "damn" and "hell" and only for fun, not in anger.

I do curse and swear quite a lot I have to admit that and not always just nice curse words I use
I even use the c word
We were not allowed to swear at home
