Swearing used to embarrass me. I, uh, got over it. Absofuckinglutely.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Swearing has never embarassed me. I do it quite a fucking lot.
And it's really, REALLY hard not to swear in front of the classroom. I catch myself all the time
"What the he-- heck are you doing?"
"Ouch, da- dang it!"
"Sunuva -- gun."
I did drop a brick on my foot while student teaching and shout "FuckMONKEY" pretty loudly, but no one was in the room.

I totally love this.
I don't swear in front of my parents. so i have one vocabulary for when i'm completely me and comfortable and i have another for when i'm around them. it's awful when i'm driving and they're in the car with me because that's where i tend to do most of my swearing.

I cuss in front of my parents, but I pretty much stick to the milder oaths, unless I am truly upset. Or telling a dirty joke.
MY mom scolds me mildly when I cuss, especially if "fuck" slips out, but sometimes she gets so irritated (and my mom is a lady) on the road that she'll pop out with a "You..you little fucker!" and it's so CUTE.

I don't swear around my family, because they would be offended, and I try very hard not to swear at school, because of the rules the kids have. I try to be consistent. That said, I try very hard not to swear at all, but it just doesn't fucking work.

My dad will shake his head and fake scold us if he catches us really swearing. But I don't think he really cares, so much as being a little befuddled at his girls getting all raunchy. I've never noticed if he reacts the same way to my brother, though I suspect not.

Hee, vw!
When I was a kid, swearing was a punishable offense, so both my brother and I were careful around both my parents. I remember the first time I said "fuck" in front of my mom I thought she was gonna explode. I was 25. My dad hardly ever swore. If he did, boy howdy did we know to be somewhere else because he was reallly mad. My mom didn't start swearing until after he passed away. Now I have to caution her about her language in front of the kids. Which is way funny considering the above.
I try not to swear in front of the kids because I don't trust the 9 y.o. not to use his new found vocabulary at school. When I'm alone I swear at people all the time because they are driving like jerks - like the guy this morning who stopped in the middle of the lane to make a U turn across double yellow lines.
Will this day ever end? It's not even 3 yet here and I wanna go home and take a nap.

The only bad words I use in front of the parents are shit, bitch, ass. I've never dropped an F bomb on them but frequently drop it in their absence. It's weird to be 35 and unable to use "fuck" in front of mommy and daddy.
