i'm getting older, so it's about time to stop cussing all the time.

i need some word suggestions for stuff i can use instead of fuck, shit and damn from now on





i'm thinking that if i start saying stuff like "what the fart" when i'm pissed, it'll sound so stupid that i can't help but to laugh at myself and thus changing my mood to pissed off to laughing. this'll probably be the worst idea ever. let's see what you got tww.

In my professional development class, my professor recommended snapping a rubber band on your wrist whenever you said some tick that you're trying to get rid of. It was more for speeches and presentations, but this could apply too

I tempered my swearing when I started out in the workforce, thinking it was sophomoric and juvenile

However, I've since realized that people swear just as much if not more in their 30's and 40's than they do in their teens and 20's

It's even better because it's intelligent swearing that fits the tone of the conversation, instead of saying fuck just to say fuck

I'll only tone it down when/if I have kids

i cuss way too much in public and then i realize there's families around and one time i saw this mom covering her son's ears cause they could over hear me. i felt real bad after that. i don't wanna be a bad influence on the kids.

You'd don't want to be that asshole who yells out cocksucker in front of 3 year olds, of course

If that's your problem then yeah, I could see needing to take it down a notch

but in business and social situations, fuck, shit, ass, bitch, and cunt all have their place

i never cuss around people i dont know, just a habit i have ......when i am with people that talk loud and they cuss in public, i always instinctively look around for kids/old people because i feel like they are gonna associate me into what they hear

usually i only cuss around friends close to my age, and not until i've heard them cuss first .... i just have an extreme respect for those around me (not saying it's a good thing)

yeah, it's never been that bad, just the regular run of the mill f-bombs around friends

i keep it clean for the most part, but i feel bad when there's just a slip-up

Swearing in public != swearing so others can hear you

I swear in public, but keep my voice at a level where the 6 year old 3 booths over isn't gonna be able to eavesdrop

i was expecting more creative answers

"piss in mouf" is the best so far. i know y'all can do better than that.

I'm pretty good at saying dang, darnit, and fooey when around young ones and such. But as a 3rd generation sailor I'll never give up my beloved fbombs. FUCK

I have a bad habit of replacing random expletives with "christ" which may be even more offensive around religious types. Oh well.

i'm going to tone down my words so that they don't hurt those who don't understand them and those i don't care about.

the rubber band thing work pretty well... especially if you use the thick rubber bands and get your friends to pop your wrist with it when you cuss. I did it in high school and stopped using profanity completely. Now i cuss like a sailor though. I should stop too

I need to be better about this too. But these days I tend to use expletives that aren't English so maybe that's not so bad when I'm in the States

Just read the lyrics to this song so that you can get all your cussing out at once...

"Family Reunion"
by Blink 182

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
I fucked your mom
And I wanna suck my dad
and my mommy too
oh, is this thing on?
