> well, as a teenager who tries oh-so-hard not to curse ever but still screws up from time to time.... here are my reasons for cursing when i do curse. Or, reason, rather. I do it when I'm angry. Darn and Shoot and Frickin (frickin for me, not friggin) are words that i use so commonly when i'm not upset at all that they have no emphasis when i AM upset. Therefore, I curse. And it does indeed clue everyone in to the fact that I'm majorly upset.

So... it's a bad habit that I've had since Jr high School.... and, um, yeah

I also only really swear when I'm angry. Most of the time I use say thing like "bugger" (which I understand is supposedly bad in England but dosn't mean much in the USA) "ah frig" "friggen" "crud" (which, to me at least is no were near s..t) "smeg" "Jezzum Crow" "Jerk" and "Twit"
Now that is what I tend to us on day to day. But when I'm really angry worse words come into play bacause calling someone a "Jerk" just dosn't convey my emotions at the time. I ussualy feel a little bad about this later on.
