There are polite words to express whatever you want to express at given moment. These words sound harsh and they don't have any particular meaning, hence why should be avoided if possible.Why?

What do you mean by not having enough time ? For good selection of words you don't have to waste minutes. A little concentration in conversation is all you need, response of your answers will increase gradually. People say wrong things because they rush without much thinking.At least, I don't have the time to do that.
The fact that your family swears all the time shouldn't have anything to do with your vocabulary. In fact, you should be the one to stand against it. If you know it is bad why let it influence you ?...since I grew up in a family that swears all the time...
Intelligence is hardly questionable in this situations. But the fact that you are being rude at given moment is. That is even worse, especially when you're not aware of that....if people think I'm unintelligent...
I can think rationally when it comes to what and how I speak. I have become a master at creating speeches on a whim, and never during them do I use profanity or common filler words such as "like" or "um".What do you mean by not having enough time ?

I grew up in a blue-collar family that has always spoken that way. You may find it wrong, but to us, it is commonplace. None of my sisters swear in front of their kids (except for the one who has a 13 year old), but they all speak like that when they are not around. It won't matter if I stop (which to be frank, I won't) because I tend to get overruled since I'm the youngest of five.The fact that your family swears all the time shouldn't have anything to do with your vocabulary.

In public, I usually don't even speak unless I have to. When I do use profanity while talking to friends, it's because I'm either in a car or because I'm at a private place. I went to a restaurant on Friday and never swore once. The way that your post is written, it makes it seem as if you think that people who swear only swear because the merely feel like it and don't have any idea of how to otherwise convey their logic.My vocabulary depends on who I'm talking to. If I'm with my family, I'm very restrained and don't cuss much. But if I'm with a ton of friends, my main form of language is profanity.
Certainly they are inappropriate for any occasions.
Except swearing contests, surely.
I do have one friend who vows never to use especially strong language. Not because he finds it crude or offensive, but he simply has no need to use it.
Or when you are geniusly insulting indirectly someone with a bit of dark sarcasm.
That's usually the angle he prefers. So why change?

Just as I find it rude that you appear as if you're trying to judge my character on that post while completely ignoring this quote. I know several people who don't like profanity, and as such, I never cuss in front of them.

...people who swear a lot are stereotyped as if they are not as smart as those who don't cuss much.
That is what I find disturbing for most of the time, especially since I often come across these scenarios as well.I have a friend who is on track to get his Master's degree in Accounting at age 23, and when he and I hang out, he swears all the time. The same guy also has a job as a bank teller, and in that profession, professionalism is expected. The guy hasn't had an issue at all there since he was hired. Everyone I know who swears often does so when it can be appropriate (i.e. in private) and rarely ever (if never) when it is considered to be in bad taste.
Plus he's reached a point where he would rather keep his 22 year record intact.
Kick him in the shin and slap him. It is your mission in life to get him to swear.
Others have tried. It was never very effective.
A videogame related "accident" would likely push him to the brink or beyond. Such incidents very nearly brought his streak to an end in the past.
If I slow down to think about my words, I either start to use a ton of filler words that do nothing but make me appear as shy or disengaged or I wind up swearing more because get frustrated due to not thinking of anything else to say. In several situations (depending on context) such as talking with my college instructors or other adults, I don't swear as it is the last thing on my mind. I always have been the type of person who does better when I just do something rather than think about what I'm doing, but that's partially because I'm rather shy and get nervous with just talking to certain people.What do you mean by not having enough time ?

I'm just being curious, does anyone feel any remorse after swearing ?
How many of you would take back swearword you've said ?
I just yell "Oh, 🤬. I just 🤬 swore, didn't I?"I'm just being curious, does anyone feel any remorse after swearing ?

Nope. Never.I'm just being curious, does anyone feel any remorse after swearing ?

It depends on the context, I take pride in my unbroken streams of invective, I'm not sure I ever regretted swearing because I'm always careful to do it at the right time
I just yell "Oh, 🤬. I just 🤬 swore, didn't I?"
Seriously, though, I really only do at work and no one here cares so no, I don't.
Thanks, I appreciate the input. They all have meaning, even as a joke. But am I the only one who think that way ?Nope. Never.
🤬 your remorse.
A little when I was younger and I'd spew profane tirades at video games. Now not really, I usually apologize if I swear in front of a teacher or something but I don't feel any remorse.I'm just being curious, does anyone feel any remorse after swearing ?

And did it help. Did you win more often?I have yelled a fair number of words at video games over the years.
