Do you "cuss"? I'm speaking of the typical words that are judged as "cuss words".

If so do you do so in public, at work, at home, at church; where?

Is there ever a time you will absolutely refrain?

If you feel it is appropriate then please let us know what word or words you use (please use caution and wisdom).

My sister yells, "CUSS WORDS." LOL! Does that count?

FQ,
You have asked four questions yet there is only one poll. Shall we assume that the first question is the "poll question" and the rest are for discussion?


TW

[Full Quiver]

yes TW, you are correct

the poll question is above the poll

the discussion questions are in the post

some will participate in the poll and others will both poll and discuss

[TW]

Good, then I feel that at times (when I'm driving my car and the knucklehead in the other lane decides that they want to be in my lane and cuts me off without so much as signaling their intent with their blinkers) that is is OK to say #^!!*%%#.

Yes, at times, but that's not to say that I think it's right to do so. I know it's not becoming of a christian. At least thats what I think.

If so do you do so in public, at work, at home, at church; where?

In public some, at work some, at home some....by some I mean sometimes.

Is there ever a time you will absolutely refrain?

Yes. If I'm around people who I know don't approve, or my parents or other church folks. As I said, I don't think it sounds to good to use that kind of language, nevertheless I have been known to use it.

If you feel it is appropriate then please let us know what word or words you use (please use caution and wisdom).

Oh boy,...I don't think I will go there.
Just imagine any possible combination of this or that and so on and so forth and you can bet I've used it. There is the big one of course. The "GD". I KNOW that can't be right. It accually feels dirty and wrong, but alas I've been known to use that one as well.

Thank God for grace, forgiveness, and mercy!!!

I feel it is wrong in any occassion.

[Ilovebigcats]

I feel it is wrong in any occassion.

Do you use "by-words?"

*sets the trap with stinkin' bait*

[one love]

ok I will admit that I catch myself saying "freaking" and many times think is this just a by word for not using another word. I try to not do that as much but what is looked at in the public eye as curse words i do not do, i feel it would considerablly hurt my testimony

From what I understand, your saying "freaking" would be as bad as if you were to say the word you are substituting it for from what you have posted, am I correct?

no not at all It is not a word that is considered a "bad" word or a "curse" word but it is a word said in aggrivation. I say "come on" all the time but im not cursing that was my point. By saying by word i am saying that you may say a word in aggrivation but not curse. i tell many people that curse all the time, they ask me "i cant believe i have never heard you curse" i respond cursing is a lack of vocabulary. If I was to say a curse word it would be sin to me. yet I do try to not say "freaking" because it is so close to the other word.
