I don't trust people who don't cuss.

If you can watch this without laughing, you're probably boring or too uptight

I cuss and bitch when working in construction AND when working on cars. Its my way of letting off steam. I'm not the kind of guy that bottles up all of my anger then wigs out and kills the neighborhood.

Zactly! Those types  they have no "Release" like a good ol cussin' gives.

  100%. I work in a warehouse, if you don't swear there your not doing it right. When i work on my car, or any car, I swear all the time. I think I even make up swear words.
Its just the way it is.

I remember waaaaaay back when, on a course with the Armed Forces, the guy in charge was some sort of anti-swearing fanatic. 

One thing that cracked me up was his definition of profanity - "The end result of the efforts of a weak mind trying to express itself forcefully."

That thought always kind of followed me, but became especially poignant when I transitioned to Law Enforcement.  Now, I find that NOT swearing sets me apart from my... "clients".

It's hilarious, too.  When such colourful invective isn't part of your regular vocabulary, people know there's something "wrong" with you - they just can't quite put their finger on it.

People who get offended at others sswearing I dont understand, like who really cares?? but as for the swearers themselves, it doesnt help your cuase to use the same word repeatedly. The only honest way to cuss is if you do it on your own account, not just if everyone around the industy has a habit. BUt cussing does have good purpose uunder the proper individual situation.

I'm one of those guys who can "turn it off" when necessary; in my usual blue-collar work environment we all (with the exception of some Bible-thumpers) cussed a lot and knew which ladies would tolerate it and which wouldn't. When I did office duty I could go for days/weeks without uttering a single obsenity.

BTW, I differentiate between swearing/cursing (damn, etc.) and cussing (f**k, etc.)

Same here. Out in the field I probably swear more than my workers. In the office with the office girls, boys, clients, etc... I'm on my best behavior.

i try i really do , but "backstage " just slips out from time to time when your no concentrating  and your out shopping or talking to someone on the street

Agreed, keeping the wolves at bay is key and flexibility is one means of keeping them away.  As a freelancer, I understand this and do everything from corp. to large Electronic Dance Festivals - keeps things interesting!

I can use the F bomb 4 times in a sentence at the shop and my people know exacty what I mean.....

Where I work as a mechanic it seems to depend on the person. Some guys almost never swear, some use it sparingly for emphasis and a few others can't seem to get through a single sentence without seeing how many f-bombs they can drop and still make some sense. I can appreciate the emphatic use of profanity when the situation calls for it but to completely lace sentences with it makes a person look like an idiot. Other than that I rarely hear profanity being used or use it myself because I just don't hang around people that have that type of mindset outside work.

Side note: IMO, words have more power than people give them credit for these days. There are too many words being misused/overused and so many words have lost their meaning and intensity. Just look at the way words like hater, bigot and racist get thrown around so frequently now.

My sentiments exactly. Well said.

MY neice can fit the f word into a five word sentence five times!  She's a real pro.
