I know that I can be profane at times, but it’s mostly because I think swear words are so funny when used properly. I didn’t think, however, that my blog would score high on the Cuss-O-Meter.
What do you all think? Are you offended by my language? Does it put you off, or do you find cuss words as funny as I do (in the appropriate venue, of course)?
I love cussing! I wish I could cuss on our Mex Adventure blog, but our primary audience is our family which includes young nieces, nephews and cousins. And they have conservative Catholic parents. Drats!

I hadn’t even considered the fact that you use or not cuss words…. All I know is that Heather in Paradise would not be the same if you auto-censored your language!! So don’t you fucking think of changing anything girl!!! LOL

Me four. Your use of cussing in conversation after some red wine is hilarious! Let’s have some when I get there on Jan 10!

Your language it tame compared to some days in our trucking business. Biggy B can use the F word in a sentence that flows so well through his lips…on his good days. One day I counted the F word seven times in one sentence. I told him his English teacher would be so proud of him, using it as a verb, noun, adjective and all those other F’n things I can’t think of right now, in one complete sentence.
Don’t change who you are or how you write for anyone!! We love you just the way you are (write).

Cussing or not, I have to be careful if I’m drinking anything while reading you. Blowing coffee, cocktail or anything else out of one’s nose, can often be painful!!

I fucking love it.
BTW, is that pronounced “cuss’-oh-meter” or “cuss-ahm’meter”?

I never find cuss words funny. But I do find them necessary!

I just love that we live in a place where we are able to gather such information on ourselves at a moments notice. I love technology. And something tells me the posts would not carry that same flare.

I don’t think you over-use swearing at all, just for effect- and it works! Don’t change.

I never even noticed there were a lot of cuss words so I’m obvs not offended. But then again ever since mom took out the dictionary when I was like 12 and showed me and Joey all the swear words, I haven’t really given them much thought

My Mom tells me I have a trucker mouth like my Dad.

I cuss all the time, so I don’t have a problem with it. I didn’t even notice it until this post, which I think is a good thing because your writing is so much like your way of speaking that it all just seems natural, the cuss words don’t stand out because they are just part of your natural manner!

I have definitely noticed fuck but that’s about it. Probably because i got slapped when I said fuck on my own blog by the RVers. I teach my kids (14, 12, 7 and 9) that what people call “swear” words and “cuss” words are just words, nothing but words. There are some people who are offended by certain words but I really don’t give a flying fuck what they say.
Strangely, they don’t “swear” or “curse”. Maybe because it isn’t forbidden? Anyway, even with me telling them they are just words, the kids have all caught on to social nuances of what word might offend whom. And when their little Mormon friends are over they are ALWAYS correcting me. And I never drop the Fbomb around the kids, so go figure.

Thanks for the input, everyone. Seems like just about all of you are of the same mind as me. I don’t consciously swear, but I do swear. As Martina said, I kind of write the way I talk.
And Kathy, I don’t think I’d take too kindly to someone “slapping” me for a word I used on my own blog. I’ll hear out their opinions, sure. Swears ARE just words and it’s our own perceptions that make one a “bad” or a “good” word. Of course, I don’t swear around children, although sometimes I forget one is near me and slip. Like at a Cubs game, man. I thought I was going to get ejected from the park once.
