See how well you do on this quiz on swearing. [URL="http://www.beliefnet.com/section/quiz/index.asp?sectionID=10000&surveyID=142"]Click here[/URL]
Then tell me what you think of the amount of swearing that takes place in "polite" society today!
I didn't do very well on this quiz...and I consider myself a potty mouth. I really try to work on it, but when I'm angry or have had a couple of drinks they just tumble out. I even make up some creative ones. Still, I realize that as a professional woman that using foul language makes me look and seem uneducated.

It seems to me that the quiz was designed for a particular age group (much younger than me.)
I'm glad you use creative swearing with your "potty" mouth. I'm not found of swearing, but I really get tired of the limited vocabulary!
I'm afraid I swear when I get really angry and/or frustrated. But I've gotten better!
I've tried to substitute pasta words for swearing.
Oh FUSILI!!! It actually is very effective and sounds good.
What I hate is that certain swear words are used as common adjectives, well everything amongst a certain age group. What's weird here is when English swearwords are used! It doesn't have the same impact I guess, but it bugs me.
One thing that is especially weird for me is there is a word skit which means pretty much what it nearly spells, and my mother in law, who would NEVER swear, sometimes uses it...at least in it's adjective form 'skitig' which she might say to the dog when he comes in with dirty paws...
Perhaps I once in a while get a little more "adult" with my language when I have had a couple cocktails....or when I'm blogging (ha!)
But normally I don't *think* I'm too bad...
let's see what the test says though......
eh, I got five right.
