Not often,,,,never in anger,,,but one is the most discriptive word ever,,,,and is often used to discribe pain,horror,wonderment,great beauty,amazement,anger,surprise,speed, and even bewilderment ,,,,so is this really a swear word,,,,i think not,,,,what word could replace it

Usually only when i walk into something by accident +5

I never use expletives.
I don't see why I would want to. I have a good enough command of the English language to put my point across in a positive manner, without having to swear.
by branciforte3241 on August 9th, 2009
Never. "expletives" are fillers that you use instead of vulgar language. For instance, "#$%^&^%$" or "gosh darn it". I'll leave those to cartoon characters and WASP's.
by SilentPurr on August 9th, 2009
Not often at all. Usually only mutter expletives under my breath or when alone, occasionally at home - all those times, it's when I'm stressed out and exasperated about something.
Nothing sounds worse than those whose every second or third word is a swear word!

I used to swear a lot, and I've cut down an aweful lot. I do know that here and there they do come out, but I realize how it sounds coming out of someone elses mouth, especially in a normal conversation, and I don't want to sound like that. However when I am by myself I do swear a bit more. I suppose I am work in progress and now that I am aware of it, I can do more about it.

When I am by myself and can't find the parts that I just put in a "safe place". %%#@$%% parts!

Rarely.. sometimes when talking with my dad, or S/O I use them to highlight how I feel, make an impact, - but this is more because I know they would not judge me for it or feel offended.
I used to use them an awful lot, I really worked on it to cut the use of them right down.
by MisterKnowItAll on August 9th, 2009
A lot. Like, a shit-ton. I tend to utilize all the vocabulary I have at my disposal; words don't get excluded simply because they're deemed somehow socially vulgar. Ever watch an episode of Deadwood? I talk kind of like Al Swearengen. When I get frustrated, the amount of words I use increases, which I'm sure means I use more expletives...although when I become exasperated, I grow increasingly silent, which is generally a sign that ending the conversation is a good idea for everyone involved.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on August 9th, 2009
Yes and no. On AB for example, I use them and also use strategically placed asterisks...examples would be he** or dam*. I never ever use them at anyone..usually I use them when I am describing a situation or an occurrence or a circumstance. I do swear at the TV on occasion when some political spinmeisters start spinning and spit out the most outrageous lies...boyohboy then I let him/her have it with both barrels! Happy Sunday! :)

My husband recorded a conversation between my mother, myself, my father and him at my folks house the other night. I told my father to "get the hell out" while I was helping my mother try to clean a cluttered room. I was shocked at how much my mom used the word "S-H-I-T", over and over again....I guess she was really mad.
by MrJosh on August 9th, 2009
I use them at work, but rarely in my normal life.
by Jim in a Nautilus COAT on August 9th, 2009
Very rarely. They quickly lose their power if you stuff every sentence full of them.
by No Name Nelson on August 9th, 2009
Never in casual language. Once in a while, if I "walk into something" in a bad way.
by Sosueme on August 9th, 2009
Rarely, Ive got to be pretty angry which doesn't happen that often.
by Seanzie is smiling again on August 9th, 2009
Almost every conversation i will have for the next year will probably contain vulgar language
