If so, why?

Every day, often! I swear when I bang my knee, the dish doesn't turn out right, I forgot something. But only by myself or in front of my husband (not to him, I don't swear AT people). I try to curb my tongue in public or around relatives, but sometimes it slips (never the F word). And if I slip I apologize and cover my mouth. It's usually no big deal with a He** or Da**.

I hardly ever curse.I was brought up in a christian family and I was taught that if people saw us cursing and knew that we were Christians they would think that we were just hypocrites.The only time that I curse is when I am just with my very close family that knows me very well and knows I am just stating something very strongly.I only say the b word and the a word.Never the f word or the Gd word.I feel those are TOO strong.I don't know its just i feel that when you can only come up with a four letter word to express you feelings you look pretty stupid.

Probably more often than some. I use profanity for emphasis or as an illustrative tool. Work really har not to cuss around children or in meetings.

Sometimes, when i'm trully upset but usually i do it when I'm alone in the privacy of my room for example. Since I socialize with top people most of the time and I'm also in the limelight sometimes I just have to bear it and not curse then. But when it gets too much i just have to walk away to curse under my breath!

Very rarely. The only time I cuss, is during very heated arguments, when I am trying to get a point across and get interrupted.

does
"may you live 100 years AND have a toothache everyday of it"
"may all your wine bottles have two holes in the bottom and your girlfriends none!"
Or
"May the fleas of 1000 syphilitic camels infest your armpits"
Count?
Why not? It lets off steam that if suppressed could lead to violence. Same goes for expletives.

Fairly often. Because I am extremely intolerant. However, most of my cursing is done in German or Czech.

Oh yeah. You try dealing the the government on a daily basis and watch the swear words fly.

it depends on who i am around.
i do not cuss in front of my parents or their friends, or my christian friends because i know they will find it offensive. i also don't cuss around strangers.
around my other friends, it depends... if we are just chilling or venting, yes, i cuss. but i only use my cussing powers for good.

It is very rare. There are people who have known me for years that have never heard me curse.
