My definition of cursing is probably different from what other people's definitions are.
The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.
Let us consider that swearing is a sin of all others peculiarly clamorous, and provocative of Divine judgment.
I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. But I think there are quite a few people, my father being one of them, who use curse words rather eloquently.
I curse too much. I really do. I have a horrible cursing mouth.
Swearing is industry language. For as long as we're alive it's not going to change. You've got to be boisterous to get results.
I think the reason that swearing is both so offensive and so attractive is that it is a way to push people's emotional buttons, and especially their negative emotional buttons. Because words soak up emotional connotations and are processed involuntarily by the listener, you can't will yourself not to treat the word in terms of what it means.
There is no such thing as too much swearing. Swearing is just a piece of linguistic mechanics. The words in-between are the clever ones.
I don't like cursing in movies. I feel like cursing has become the new hackiness. You try to find substitutions for cursing.
I don't curse when I talk. Unless I'm mad.
