Hi, my name is Jessica, and I'm a potty mouth.

Eff that!

In the industry I am in (heavy highway construction) it is like its own derivative of the English language.  It doesn't bother me, male or female, it's just words.  Nothing to get torqued out of the frame over or anything. 

They are not cuss words, they are sentence enhancers.

^^^^^ bingo

My personal view of it, it just isn't lady-like to cuss/swear.  A lot of women nowadays aren't too concerned with behaving "lady-like," I get that.  I guess I just tend to hold women to an old-fashioned higher standard.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna flinch if a chick drops the eff bomb...but all else being equal, I'm choosing to spend more time with the girl who can express herself without having to go blue.

btw, for the record, I think it's poor form for a man to cuss around a lady.  In my opinion, it's disrespectful.  

I'll never forget, when my husband and I were dating I lived with a girl who cussed all the time. It rubbed off on me and I cussed about something when we were together. He looked at me and said "Such a pretty girl shouldn't say such ugly words".

I wanted to barf and cuss even more but that has always stuck with me even to this day!

I like the... "shut the f...ront door" in that commecial... that's funny.

Ok,I admit it, I can cuss a blue streak when super frustrated!  I don't usually cuss in my everyday conversations, but when I am beyond normal words frustrated--WATCH OUT!

Hubby doesn't like it very much and I try to not say those things around him, but sometimes he is the source of my frustrations!

*raises hand* checking in

Hi I'm Jtiger and I have a potty mouth.

Usually it isn't a big deal since most people I'm around are the same but it can slip when you don't want it to... say after Sunday School.  one of my new years resolutions.

Why do we need to do anything?  Nobody NEEDS to cuss just like nobody NEEDS to drink soft drinks or beer but people do.  Like drinking beer, time and place maybe.

I don't look down on a woman to cusses at all and in some cases I rather like it

I am not talking about when you hit your finger or you forget something, but when someone is talking and every other word is a cuss word, then to me it is silly. I tried to watch a movie the other day called "30 Minutes or Less" and every other word was an f bomb and I turned it off. It was just over the top for me. Dropping F bombs or cussing alot doesn't impress me, doesn't make you funnier to me, or cooler or whatever, just tells me that you need help expressing yourself better.

So my friends I hang out with do not cuss every other word, not saying they are a saint by any means, but also they don't drop bombs just to drop bombs!

^^ this.  It really is just a lazy way of expressing yourself.

Sometimes it's required to convey the story in a certain way.  It can add brevity.  Like when you tell a joke sometimes an f'bomb is the punchline clincher other wise it can turn into 5th grade jokes really quick.

Cursing for the sake of cursing in some movies is annoying.  However, The Big Lebowski is just the right amount of F-bombs IMHO. 

Yet in Goodfellas it was annoying to me with Joe Pesci. 

When hanging out with the guys nobody is really trying to "impress" anyone. 

Hi, my name is Christy and I'm a potty mouth.

Yes, I do use sentence enhancers.  Often. I do not use them at work in a professional setting and I try to sensor in front of the kids (with some slip ups) - yes, there is a time and a place.

For me, it is never required. 

I'll bet you're fun at parties...

Seriously, sometimes it makes a joke more funny IMO.  Different strokes I guess.
