There is a place and a time for everything
If you are in a job interview NO
A chuckeesheeses NO
An old folks home NO
Church NO
Library NO
But hanging out with friends in your appartment or just really pissed off aout something...Watching TV and your team just lost, go crazy!! Or in your trailer with no trousers on siping a beer GO NUTS
It is not socially acceptable, you make first impressions every day. You have to earn respect and a reputation... Starting off with nasty words is BAD....

It depends on the settings. If you're at a bar having a drink with your friends, or watching football on TV or something like that, then it's okay (not to excess of course). If you're at a formal dinner that President Bush is throwing for the Queen of England, then no. Or if you're delivering a speech to the UN. Or reading a story to a group of preschoolers.

There are times and places where its OK but mostly its not. If you are a football player or baseball player, if you are a construction worker, if you are a Marine or soldier, sure, go ahead and use it. If you are a surfer and you miss a wave or get dropped in on by all means use it. But if you are a Priest or an elementary school teacher or a doctor or a banker or stock broker you should not. Use common sense.

No. Normally those words come out with a strong emotion of expression. Any other time it doesn't sound very good to hear a complete dictionary of foul garbage.

It depends on the situation...in a work environment, probably not...but anywhere else, as long as it's not in front of kids, and the people aren't stuck up, then yeah, it's ok.

Depends where you are. If you're out in public at the mall or a sporting event, then it is okay. But if you are at work, not unless you want to get fired.

Maybe in some settings around certain people but not always.
