How do you feel about "vulgar" or "foul" language?

It has its place, but over-use gets old really fast.

It is not needed, there are other ways of expressing yourself besides showing what a moron you are by swearing. Especially on television, movies and music, in any of these forums, foul language is not needed. If you cannot express yourself without it, then don't say anything at all.

I think it is a valid form of expression, and I try to use it artfully and evocatively. But, sometimes, like in traffic, I sink to "F**K YOU A**HOLE" and the like

When the situation demands it, it can really accent your point. But overused it can be really boring.

Foul language is fine if used appropraitely. I do not think it should be said around young children, at school with teachers or in a work environment. How would you feel if a customer or supplier was swearing all the time? Imagine a waitress serving you and swearing!! It has its place between friends and off duty time.

I tend to use it too much. I don't think it is that bad. Sometimes it is totally inappropriate.

Get over it. seriously. why should some words be offensive and others not. i find it excessivly moronic thyat the word "feces" is not offensive and the word "crap" is. "make love" is fine, but say "fudge" and all these uptight conservative people decide to get a stick up their asses (pardon me, buttox). express yourself however you want. anyone who tells you otherwise, well, their closed mind is their problem.

I don't like it and I try to not use it as much as I can. I don't use it at home in front of family or in the workplace. I tend to use it outside of these environments and amongst friends. I try to limit it as much as I can.

Although I am guilty of using it sometimes, I am not fond of it. I think that people who excessively use profanity are just trying to show off. It really gets on my nerves and not to mention disrespectful.

If people get upset with my language and tell me in a mature way I will respect their feelings but for the most part I don't really care or judge by "vulgar" or "foul" language.

I'm all for it!

I try to use it sparingly, since I feel like it's often a sign (in myself) of laziness in expression. I find it interesting that I tend to use it more when hanging out with a group of men.

It loses its effect (is devalued) when overused, but when used sparingly can be effective. It doesn't offend me, but I tend not to use it.

Depends on the context. If it's being used meaningfully to add emphasis, no problem. If it's just being used as thoughtless punctuation, I feel it lessens the potential impact of the language.

Depends on the use, but if not try to be offensive, I like it, specially the "vulgar" spanish, there are many variants (argots).

Unnecessary, except in South Park! =) "If you use vulgar language, you have no brains, for only those who lack ability to think must use vulgarity to thoroughly express themselves." - Carol Skiff

it's effective if used sparingly, just like everything else.

I use it

there is nothing wrong with that kind of language.How could it be wrong ? The most honest thing is to talk the way you feel.If you feel like using vulgar language,then go ahead and use it.If you think there is a particular reason why you should use that kind of language then there's nothing wrong to use it

I'm not fond of it, but I indulge sometimes. I'd like to eliminate it from my regular speech altogether, but habit and pop culture continue to encourage it's use. It has no real value to a sentance, other than expressing anger or frustration. Using real english words to express the same sentament doesn't make it any weaker.

i do not like it and try hard to not use it

I use entirely too much of it, I know it's wrong, and I'm slowly just being to be able to stop myself. First step correct bad language as soon as you or someone else notice it.

Don't know how they came into origin, except for sexual ones, in which sex is a embarassing thing for some people.

whatever

Poot

F**k yeah! Pee in my mouth and make me talk dirty!

I think it has its place. But used sparingly its quite effective. I must admit, I do not like using it around children.

It's often used to excess.

Which languages are "foul" or "vulgar"? French?

I use it but I know that it probably isn't the nicest thing to do.

You don't use it everywhere, but it is necessary to express certain emotions or to convey a point.

profanity is the tool of the inarticulate jerk

I use it all the time.

whatever. i don't see the big deal with expressing yourself thru whatever words you need.

I rarely use it. I don't mind if others do, but feel there should be a more eloquent way to describe something.

Anyone who doesn't like it can go fudge themselves...seriously, it doesn't bother me. I prefer to reserve its use. If I swear all the time, what'll do when I really need to swear? Pop a blood vessel in frustration?

It think it's waaaaayyy overused. A literate person can certainly express any sentiment without using profanity. I tend not to, but it does not offend me, and there are certainly times when it is effective and useful.

Swearing is the crutch of the limited mind.

I feel that it isn't needed for everyday conversation. It doesn't really help to get a point across. it does help when you are upset and need something to say, and can't think of anything better.

It's largely unnecessary. Somewhere out there is a Shakespearean insult generator which should probably used more often.

Pisses me off, let me tell you.

I don't like it. I feel that its just an ignorant mind trying to express itsself forcefully.

I'm not a big fan of it.

I really dislike it, especially in the wrong setting. I hate hearing people swearing on the bus, with elderly people present.
