And if you do- do you think it's ok? Or do you feel bad after you say it?

More than I want to.
Please forgive me.

No.
However I'm afraid your asking the question here is an invitation for a lot of silly people to do it. I hope that was not your intention.
Taking the Lord's name in vain is not only using it as a cuss word. It can also be promising something in the lord's name and not keeping your promise. Or it can be using God to back up one's silliness or perverseness. I think some false people sometimes do that.

The reverence of Yahweh is the begining of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Pro 9:10.

There are many Pastor's that use the name of the Lord in vain every Sunday when they preach their watered down lies to appease the majority.

In vain could also mean to no avail so the people who say they are Christians and are not may be headed for trouble when they say they do something "In Jesus name"

I assume you mean using the word "god" as an expletive, usually in front of the words "d*** it"? I do it once in a while; I'm trying to stop. I feel guilty because I feel it's giving recognition to a deity I don't worship.

No. And if it slips out, I feel bad and ask forgiveness.

Prior to becoming a Christian, yes. Nowadays, never but it took a while to get here :-)
