IMO adults who do this around their own children are complete trash. I understand if you have no children you might not know how to turn it off in public but personally even before I had a child I did my best not to use any foul language around children. I have a 5 year old and understand you cannot shelter her from every bad thing out there but last night their was a family sitting beside of us at chic-fila and they were relentless with dropping F bombs every 2 minutes and they had 2 little ones with them. What do you do in this situation? Uh worry about your own kids? I am --that is the whole point. |

No. I don't talk that way around adults, either. Profanity is a verbal crutch for the inarticulate. If I am capable of expressing myself with a vocabulary as large as your own, but I also use foul language, when appropriate, is my profanity really a verbal crutch? Sometimes the correct word choice is profane. |

I don't smoke, I don't drink and I don't screw strange women.
I do occasionally cuss in frustration. I do my best not to do it around others. And apologize if I slip up. |

No. I don't talk that way around adults, either. Profanity is a verbal crutch for the inarticulate. This, kinda. I still use some profanity around kids (try not to as much as possible) and a lot around adults because I'm uneducated construction trash. 
If I wasn't so rough around the edges I probably wouldn't have had a successful career. EDIT - In this thread everyone starts talking very proper to make a point, when they normally wouldn't talk that way. I view consumption of drugs or alcohol as a weakness like a lot of people view profanity so I can see the point. I still have memories from being 6 years old and my parents calling me a worthless faggot so it's kind of engrained at this point. |

Anytime my family has been within earshot of people being crass in a restaurant, we ask to be moved.
And I always say plainly and well within earshot ... the reason we are asking to be moved. If we cannot be moved, I tend to use it as a teachable moment. Let the swearing crowd have their freedom of speech. Exercise your own freedom and move away. It works for movies that offend (turn it off, change the channel, leave the theater) as well. My personal code of conduct does not sync with everyone's code of conduct so I do what's in my immediate power to do and go on with life. |

I generally swear enough to embarrass a trucker, so turning it off once I had kids was extremely difficult, but I did manage to pull it off. No 4-letter words around my kids, and only now am I starting to say some of the less-vulgar stuff like "Jesus" and "Dammit". I swear less around my kids than the rest of my family, all of whom were generally always appalled by my vocabulary. :D
One time when my son was 2, he was watching TV while I was running around he house trying to batton down the hatches because Hurricane Irene was bearing down on us. We had the power go out and I let out an accidental "oh shit!". For the next 6 months, every time the TV flickered, my two year old would yell "oh shit!" |

sometimes moments should be frozen in time. many years ago I found the movie Rat Race was playing on tv so I made some popcorn and watched it with my then 4 year old son. at the point in the movie where the ambulance driver is transporting the heart he tells Rowan Atkinson that he is "haulin ass". my son looks to me and asks what does that mean, and I just said it means to go really fast in a car. not one week goes by and I am late and pushing a bit, not stupid fast, but fast enough to get a stern warning from LE if there was one nearby and this voice comes from the back in exactly the same tone as the movie "we're haulin ass". I had to stop for a few minutes and wipe tears away, I was also late for the appointment. to me those moments are relatively innocent and very, very humorous.
on the other hand, I have neighbors that use profanity as easily as saying hello, and another moment should have been captured. Mom spends about 20 minutes getting her two little 5 and 6 year old girls all dressed up to play outside in the middle of winter, making sure they are warm enough for the cold outside. once she gets done, she does a last second adjustment on one girl's toque and says "you kids fuckoff now". just as easily as saying run along and play. |

I turn it down a bit, but who fucking cares? if you stub your toe in front of a kid and you say "shoot" or "darn it" instead of "shit" or "damn it" what does it matter? You are still cursing, just not using the words society deems bad. Came here to post this. ETA: That being said, my year and a half old son started saying "oh shit" last week, so I may have to tone it back a bit more for his future peers' sake. |

Here's the bottom line: In my daily life as a Christian, I am always aware that I represent Jesus to people around me (admittedly in a very flawed way).
Thus, I am conscious of my words as well as my actions. Those who might call me a prude for avoiding vulgar language would also call me a hypocrite if I used it. I'll just keep on doing my thing as I know I should. |

The occasional 'Shit' or 'Damn'. We stopped hanging out with neighbors who couldn't control themselves in this regard. Our kids weren't happy about not seeing their friends but I don't need my 6 year old to hear about how your sister fucked 2 guys one night and didn't even their names. Trashy to say the least.

*Snip* Plenty of 12-14 year olds around the hunt club I visit and some that belong to my friends. We don't watch our language around them because we know what is was like to be 14. My boys are 10 & 8. We had a discussion about this on our first trip to the duck club last year. "What is said here stays here and is not to be repeated." They got the message loud and clear. In the produce industry, which I work in, profanity is just a regular part of daily converstaion. Long hours and tight deadlines during harvest help, alot. I'll admit, I slip at home once in a while but only around my own kids. If other kids are around I choose my words more carefully. |
