    I used to swear a lot. I decided to not swear at all (except for possibly mild swears), instead replacing most swears with minced oaths.

    My family is Christian and I would get yelled at for swearing even if it just slipped out. So far, I don’t swear unless I’m feeling a strong emotion or acting impulsively, but I’ll usually say things like “F/eff” or “fudge” instead of the F-word.

    I like to be “creative”, so my go-tos are usually “Go fudge yourself”, or “What the cluck?”

    I might say “mother lover” instead of MF

    Fuck no. Though I have removed gendered swears from use.

      I tend not to swear. I never swear in front of children since it's very common for parents to hate that. If I do swear, it's usually from something drastic, like a lot of pain or if I've messed something up irreperably. I avoid explatives in normal situations though, and when I use them I prefer to use a goofier explatives than a swear, like "ay ay ay" or "uff da" and things like that. I just find it more fun, and keeps my mentality light in a rough situation. I grew up religious, so I have an unreasonable hatred or replacement words and won't use them.

      I will use curse words in phrases that I think require them, such as "shit-eatting grin" or "shitshow" because I don't know phrases that describe those things any more aptly.

        It's impossible to take people seriously that do what you are describing.

              Not me. I’d explode without swearing. I made a point to avoid gendered swear words though. And also to not use them in arguments.

                No, it would do my mother tongue a disservice! There are so many flowery and imaginative ways to express emotions using swearwords in Polish...

                  It's really just deliberately using terms like "asshole" and "shithead" instead of bitch and such.

                    I go to church now for the last few years so I've retrained my choice of words to a degree so not to offend, but I still curse loudly.

                      I read somewhere that intelligent people swear more, so I've decided to start.
