    Tell your daughter to update her status with "Mom owes Dad a bunch of fucking money, that bitch better pay up."

    I'm a problem solver, what can I say.

    I was raised in a rough neighborhood around some mean ass kids! I can't recall when I started cussing maybe around the age of 9. I do remember constantly getting into fights everyday after elementary school by the time I got into jr. high I was pretty good at defending myself.

    i would explain to her that cussing with her friends is fine but to leave it off of facebook because family members might see it. ive had facebook over 5 years and doubt ive put more than 5 cusswords on there. though outside of facebook i cuss and dont even realize it.

    In reality, my goal was to just make her not sound like an idiot. I cuss, my bother and I started cussing when I was about 11-12. I wouldn't dare cuss in front of my parents even to this day out of sheer respect, and I expect the same out of her.

    Now that my daughter is 19, I know she cusses...not that I care, but I think I've instilled in her brain to not embarrass me or dissappoint me.

    I guess my point is if she's going to cuss, you're not going to stop her. You just have to find a way to meet in the middle.
    How did nobody catch this?

    Every kid cusses these days, and they sound like idiots. When i hear a 50+ year old man on a roll though, that's a different story. I'll throw in a cuss word every once in a while, but I really try not to. "Shit bro" coming from flat-billed hat country wiggers around here is just too common.

    I kind of wish I didn't curse as much as I do, and I'm better these days, but as a shithead teenager I was an over-cusser and enjoyed riling up other kids with sensitive ears, so it's tough. Mostly just try to avoid it in front of my girlfriend and other assorted ladies.

    I'm not real sure when i started. I had an older brother so i picked it up from him and his friends. I'll be more cautious when using foul language in front of my parents or other older adults but i won't make an effort to be completely clean. That said, I don't strive to use as many words as possible and nor will i direct any words at them. Just more of a general conversation type thing.

    we cussed like sailors from 1st grade on... we knew not to cuss in front of grownups...

    once I moved out, I cussed in front of my parents because they had always cussed in front of me...

    I don't trust a man who doesn't cuss

    If you have a 15yr old kid who isn't in trouble and is a good kid? quit snooping on them and let them be a kid

    Cursing, if not directed at anyone, is perfectly acceptable in moderation.

    Emotionally powerful words or emotionally harmful expressions mitigate and alleviate the urge to strike people who are deemed to be behaviourally offensive. In that way, physical force and possible injury are averted. Anthropologists postulate that the uttering of obscenities under "fight-or-flight" circumstances avoids physical confrontation; emotionally satisfying language eases the urge to physically punish intrusive offensive conduct. This mitigating influences has survival value in human societies, researchers suggest.

    People, when offended by rude intrusive behaviour in others, experience a decrease in their own self-image. Researchers explain that in order to elevate a deflated self-image it is necessary to counteract the offensive act in some way. Unsavoury language achieves restoration of the former self-image without resorting to physical force.
    tl;dr: Fuck you.

    Profane language has its virtues, new studies show. Profanity has been almost universal in human cultures since time immemorial. Colourful swearing and cursing have persisted in virtually all civiliza...

    Wow. There's more old fashioned folks here than I previously thought.


    I've got bigger things to worry about than a cuss word here and there. As long as it's not directed at me or their mother, or in a disrespectful way to an authority. I guess I'm in the minority. My son at 11, still covers his ears and says earmuffs when he hears me, or someone else.

    My oldest is only 12, but that's pretty much what I told him. If he and his buddies want to throw out a few cuss words amongst themselves, I'm cool. If he starts using them in any other situations or at adults, I'll come down on him like Thor's hammer! I play COD Black Ops 2 with him and his buddies and think it's kind of funny when one of them says something like "Oh shit!!!" when they get killed and then become silent once they remember I'm in the group too.

    I really have to watch myself around my family, work and some friends. Plus, I coach a U6 and a U14 soccer team. I accidently said "kick their ass" during a halftime speach when they were U8 and by the end of the day I'd gotten 2 phone calls and 1 email from parents. I felt terrible. It's a bad habbit of mine from working blue collar jobs from 14 to my mid-20's. My wife gets pissed when I slip up around our kids, which I totally understand. Kids often mirror what they see at home. The last thing I want my 5 year old to do is go to school and scream "son-of-a-bitch!" or something worse when he falls down on the playground.

    X10000. I've been around a lot of hot women, but as soon as I hear them cuss like a sailor, they lose points on my scale of hotness. I think girls just sound silly when they cuss.

    Best answer yet.

    But it's ok if you have an asterisk in place of a vowel.

    "What the F*ck" is perfectly acceptable.
