You don't Curse do you?

[Sliceanddice]

Ahhh many a time ive heard that.
Today it was after i almost fell when i slipped alittle, because i didnt know Al had mopped the floors behind me. Liz said this because i fell against the fry station and caught my balance and murmered di yu de ma under my breath.

I replyed 'Mostly in chinese. If you hear it in english call the cops ok"

I am not surprised people think im so sweet at work.

Because at work they deal with Slice, the sweet and kind perky girl who has a twisted mind and if you knew about her past you would cry, but who you are sure couldnt hurt a fly, cries at the drop of a hatand can't be rude because she can't not say please thank you ma'am and sir

Who they don't get to meet is Dice, the girl who will sit down and tell the story behind the few barely visable scars left on her arm no more how heart breaking they are so you can understand why she is strong, who goes to aikido classes and giggles every time she knocks a guy down, who writes twisted yet beautiful storys (according to friend), and is a femme fatel.

I think its why when i come into work wearing a camisole, or talk about dressing up for the rocky horror picture show, they can't believe me.

[Andara Bledin]

I don't often swear.

I will usually use kid-safe curse words.

Every now and then, however, I will be so outraged or just plain angry that I will let fly some choice invective.

People tend to stare when I do that. Although I'm not sure it's because of the words so much as the vehemence with which they are spoken.

^-.-^

I don't swear at work because it's inappropriate. I seldom swear at home because I don't want my young children expanding their vocabularly in that direction until they're older.

However, I did manage to embarrass my career Navy, ex-brother-in-law with my language one time. I felt proud.

One of the reasons I swear is so that when other people attempt to intimidate, abuse or scare me with vile language, it doesn't affect me. You can call me a c**t (very, very bad in the USA), and I'll just wonder (outloud) about the poor education you received that left you with such a limited vocabularly.

It is true that I very rarely let loose with choice curse words . . .
I find I get a better response going through my Eddie Haskell vocab - jeepers, golly gee etc - People will look at you funny and nine times out of ten a situation may just get "defused"

I am especially careful if I think that little ears may be around. Most of my friends know that if I let an actual curse word out of my mouth - come running something isn't right. Like the time I was on a trip and my friend was handing my back my curling iron - that she decided not to use -but forgot to mention it had been turned on . . .so yes, I grabbed it by the barrel -let a wordy dird out . . . dropped the curling iron . . .and then began apologizing to the Mom whose 11 year old heard me. She was laughing because she didn't care . . . .but the fact that I wasn't racing for ice (which I should have been) but was more worried about what her daughter heard - earned her trust for life. (and yes I eneded up with a nice bliste across the palm of my hand - the guys felt more for me than the girls did)

I have a very colorful vocabulary--read my LJ when I've had a bad day However, I try not to use it too much, since I never know when little ears, or certain relatives are around. Usually, I do not use four-letter words to replace everything in a sentence...but just when no other word will convey the annoyance or pain. In other words, they occasionally add spice to a rant. There are some cases when you just can't help it

[Sharsarannon]

I don't generally swear, but I will mutter rude things in Castellano, (a spanish dialect) or in Scots, (guess where that one comes from?) and occasionally cajun-ish gutter French.

I have sworn only on a few occasions- when in a car accident, or when I spilled Dad's toolbox, the one with all the teeny teeny parts and gears. Even then I don't use anything really foul- I think the exact wording was "Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t!"

[ContraCorriente]

I curse at work if I'm not around customers. When I'm in the breakroom with the butchers and produce people, we sound like a bunch of sailors. Oddly enough, the only places I curse are here on CS and at work. It's provoked! :P

[myswtghst]

I curse all the time, especially around my family and during sporting events, but I rarely direct my cursing at other people, and I always watch my mouth in public, especially around children.

I'm one of those odd people about manners--I hold doors, say please and thank you, and am generally polite, but around friends and family, I curse like a sailor, belch without shame, and am generally quite obnoxious.

[Shironu-Akaineko]

Like a sailor. I am a concentrated aerosol can of curses.
I get pretty imaginative at work which pretty much coats in pink sprinkles the already sweet n petite image I unwillingly project, as my attempts at stiffling my curses results in adorable baby speak.

You need to get me pretty frickin' mad at work to gt me to use real curses.
It happened ONCE.

Don't let it happen again.

:edit: I'm also quite the shameless farter.

[Luna]

I don't curse much. Not the big ones. When I do, it's usually when:

• I'm driving. (I live in NJ so you can guess why).

• Or I'm quoting a conversation

Hubby always teased me about how I never cursed. One day I laid the F bomb on him (for good reason) a few years ago. Then I left him for a week. He since stopped asking why I don't curse.

When I do - I mean it, and the rage that comes out of this lil grrrl ain't pretty.

[ArenaBoy]

I tend to swear every now and then but if children are around then I'll tone it down. If people are around and tend to not like swearing then I'll swear in French or Japanese. I used to swear to a point that sailors would blush but I've toned it down a bit in the last few years. I do prefer swearing in a different language though as it's a lot of fun.

[MystyGlyttyr]

I use at least two F-bombs to describe an adorable newborn kitten. So, yeah, I cuss a lot, heh.

But in public, I will usually switch to Japanese or sign language since I don't want to offend anyone I actually give two rips about. The folks here at the paper have gotten used to me sitting at my desk howling in a strange tongue and waving my hands around in arcane ways.

It really scares the crap out of the visitors sometimes, though.

[blas]

There's a ton of swearing that goes on at my job. Hell, my supervisor drops an F bomb or two......or ten.....every once in a while.

Imagine too many women, too much estrogen, too much drama, no machines functioning the way they should.................we all end up sounding like a bunch of women sailors aboard the SS Biyotchalot

I usually keep it pretty silent and try to make a point to keep the F word out of it. However, when I lose my temper and my coworkers start treating me like a retard, I will raise my voice and stand up for myself. I nearly made a coworker shit her pants once when I stood up for myself. But that time, there was no swearing involved. Odd, huh?

I nearly pooped myself when I once let a "FUCK YOU" echo all throughout the entire work area. The offending coworker who pissed me off cowered like a helpless little kitten. I love making old bitches feel thissmall.

Alriiight. High-five to you!

You don't Curse do you?

Hell no!
