Oh, whoops. My mistake- By minority I was implying somebody from another country who wouldn't know english very well. I find that a lot of them may swear because they don't think in english, and the swearwords can cover the bases when they forget a word.
If you're an english speaking minority and you swear a lot, then it simply means that you have no excuse for not being able to recall words, unless you're drunk.
Swearing doesn't mean you swear every other sentence. Swearing does not make you stupid in any way at all. It just means you aren't offended by the word. Using swear words in places where they aren't needed or don't make sense could be seen as stupid, as could using swear words in front of people who let you know they dislike them. But simply using them does not make you stupid.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Yeah, I probably swear more on Xbox Live than I do normally. Like, every time I get killed.
And I agree with BoB. I don't view swear words as offensive, so it doesn't bother me to say them. Sometimes swearing too much can make you appear stupid, or as if you can't think of a better way to express yourself than to just say [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] or smurf or whatever, but it can also be used for humor, and sometimes outlandish combinations of swear words can be quite entertaining.
agreed BoB I swear quite a lot even at work but never to customers and unless I drop something and it breaks (I work with fragile stock every day so it happens occasionally) I might utter a four letter obscenity quietly I try and keep my language under-wraps on the shop floor too. I might swear occasionally if there really isn't a word I feel will appropriately convey my response to the person I am talking to but not often and I always apologise for the use of the obscenity. I am not offended by any swear word including the old four letter C--- word. In the warehouse at work or the canteen I swear like nothing on the plannet but then so does my manager, last night we stood there swearing at each other for the sheer hell of it, god knows what we were originally saying I think it was bye! it was just funny to relax after being stuck on shopfloor all day unable to speak normally.
