"Accidental" Swearing.

Have any of you ever dropped a cuss in a totally irrelevant situation without intending to? It happens to me quite a bit. Yesterday, I was gifted a bottle of Johnny by one of my clients. I was like, "Thanks, that is ing awesome!". The look on their face was pretty lol, and I instantly regretted it. I apologized with the excuse that I was very tired from a long day, and we kind of laughed it off. It provoked a convo about the usage of the word, and I got off the hook. It still made me look like a total brown trash cunt in my eyes though.
2 weeks ago I was at a church picnic (I don't believe in God, but church is a great place to drum up business and meet women). One of the things I ate did not agree with me, and the priest asked me what was wrong. Without thinking, I blurted, "This tastes a bit like ." His face became a little red. I was embarrassed because at these things I usually am surrounded by a big crowd being the only non Korean. I told them I had mild Tourettes, but I don't think that they understood. Good thing i never blurt, "Where is your ing God now?" every time I think it.
Does this type of thing ever happen to anyone else? I usually love being inappropriate, but I really have to watch when and where the twat in me surfaces. |

I got pulled over a couple weeks ago and as the cop was approaching the window I just let out a (fairly) loud "for sakes".
The cop heard me but didn't seem too surprised at what I said. He asked me if my cigarette was weed and then took off. |

I do this all the time :(
I swear a lot. More than I would like to, and I do consciously try to curb it when in public, lol.
Worse, I have a bad habit of talking to myself, so some people over the years have wandered into the room to see me swearing at inanimate objects, and so forth.
I was at the post office last week, and I know them all really well there, so I guess I'm relaxed. A random discussion with the boss guy about the people that changed the tyres on his car on the weekend resulted in me blurting out "Wow, they sound like total wankers. Don't ing shop there again!"... total silence in the whole PO, while they all look at the tall, bald, crass guy. I was so embarrassed :( |

I called a student a dick once, but he had no clue what it meant. All he did was repeatedly pronounce punctuation. It drove me mad. I'm pretty sure that I have done it more than once.
When I am not working I drop bombs like it was going out of style. Learning to swear in Chinese was probably not a good idea, but I am much bigger than any of them so I don't get into trouble. Most expats here love calling them Chinks quite loudly. It is hard not to. They have instructional videos and announcements to teach these mutton heads how to use an escalator or a subway. They still get it wrong.
Nothing like being stuck on an escalator blocked by 2 grown Chinese men holding hands. That day we invented the Chink song. All it is using the word Chink non stop to the melody of "Charge". The looks we get are priceless. |

Why are people from outside of NY so sensitive about curse words :conf:
There are even some words, like "damn" and "hell" that we don't even consider to be curse words here, but that people cringe at elsewhere.
Even cursing accidentally isn't that big a deal here. I'm tempted to start a thread on this topic. |

I swear like an old dock worker who's just been told they'll start levying a tax on saying ****, and balls. But I try to creative with it, but I'm definitely saying , and/or the norwegian equivalents, about every three sentences or something. But people rarely mind, but I think it's because I don't really use it as a profanity.
Edit: When I lived in the UK, I had to watch my mouth around anyone past like 35 or something. But just adopting a different accent for just the swear word was enough of a nice-i-fication [TM] for it to pass. And those middle-aged upper middle-class lasses I worked with were preeetty ing stuck up lol. |

I actually don't mind curse words. , c***, , piss, ass, and are all okay words according to me.
No, I'm having more issues with discriminative slurs like ******, ****** and ******. Cause when you say "Die, you ******", you basically imply that all ******'s deserve to die. But even if we would get rid of these words, they'd just be replaced by new ones, because the bigotry would still be there. |

Once I said "!" very passionately to my mother-in-law, during dinner, for no apparent reason (from her point of view) because it sounds exactly like "Oh Lawd!" in Portuguese and I was amused by something I can't remember.
Needless to say, she became red and only when Kaoru looked at me with reprehension did I understand what I had just happened :p
That's about it... not exactly swearing, but I think it suits me well :D |

| All the time. I'm never embarrassed by it, the only people who should be embarrassed are my constipated audience. I believe curse words spice up the conversation. The only time I'd hold my tongue is in front of little children. |
