How often do you cuss/swear?

[LeilaniOtter]

In the current climate of this world, how can we not let go of a few colorful metaphors and invitations to commit improbable physical positions from time to time?

We swear to keep our sanity. ?

Like in real life for me? Never. I was a goody two shoes growing up and never developed the habit. I've gotten a bit desensitized to hearing it, though, even if I don't use it.

However, even if I don't use curse or cuss words, myself, my characters do.

I've been trying to swear more, but I keep having some kind of mental block. Even though its just a normal part of communication, I still flinch when I hear the words "damned," "god," and "hell", and merely typing them makes my fingers hurt and sends my heartrate to 110bbm. Putting that mess aside, words like "dastard," or "ow," or a sentence like "I hope you stub your little toe five times a day for the next month" get the point across well enough.
