[undeterred]

[undeterred]

1. speaking, not posting, I mean

[Wapsie B]

2. Goddamnit it sure as hell

beats the f**k outa me. ;-)

[Jara sang]

3. Not very fucking long.

[terrya]

4. Posting? Maybe a couple of hours.

[khashka]

5. five fucking minutes

if you caught me on one of my good days...

Otherwise...


Khash.

[undeterred]

6. did I hear it was your birthday?

:party: :toast: :bounce: :toast: :party:

[khashka]

9. You're gonna ride that one

aren't you?

Khash officially apologizes! My mistake! You are nice people! (Shock! Horror!)

(Oh man, a whole post without me saying "fuck"? I must really like you....)

Khash.

[DainBramaged]

7. I voted fucking indefinitely goddammit

[undeterred]

8. I'm concerned about the lack of diversity

in the fucking profanity on this messageboard. :evilgrin:

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. I sometimes sleep for 8 hours a night.

So about that fucking long. :)

[wildhorses]

11. I voted one hour because

I don't talk that fucking much

[LynzM]

12. I voted for a week...

Although I'd say indefinitely, so long as I didn't injure myself or lock myself out of my house or car. Those reactions are programmed. Otherwise, I can control it (work and small child necessitate that!).

[DainBramaged]

13. Hey, let's not let this fucking topic drop like my nuts

[bertha katzenengel]

14. Do you mean, just by my own will?

Shee-it... ;)

[undeterred]

15. Yeah. Having a jaw wired shut is like fucking cheating.

[bertha katzenengel]

34. I suppose if I put my mind to it, I could.

I control myself at work - although my boss lets fly at the slightest irritation. :shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Awwwwww Fuck!

It happened again!
:D

[skygazer]

17. Not very long, I'm afraid

I have a potty mouth. :blush:

[Dude_CalmDown]

18. Not a fucking minute.

At least not until some good shit starts happening to me soon.

[DainBramaged]

19. it's been longer than a fucking minute

[Dude_CalmDown]

20. What the fuck are you talking about? - n/t

*

[DainBramaged]

23. About how fucking long it's been since I fucking swore

[Dude_CalmDown]

24. This may go on for fucking ever. - n/f/t

No Fucking Text.

[DainBramaged]

38. No fucking way

[Dude_CalmDown]

53. No fucking way? No fucking way you're having the last fucken word. n/t

*

[hfojvt]

21. is this during a Bush press conference or an Astros win

or at some random time?

[fortyfeetunder]

22. I live with a child...probably months

until I think it's old enough to hear me slip one....

[name not needed]

25. A fuckin' lifetime.

I don't fuckin need to fucking swear to get my goddamn point across. People who use bad language and shit are pretty motherfucking ignorant. People who use shitty language that's offensive to women also piss me off. I fucking hate words like 'bitch' or 'pussy'. Cunts who say shit like that really fucking piss me off.

[MrSlayer]

26. About as long as Al Swearengen.

[In_The_Wind]

27. How The Fuck Am I Supposed To Know That!

I can't swear out-loud when I'm at home ...

My parrot might hear me ...

[undeterred]

28. You could use a fucking tape recorder

and see how long it takes. ;)

I didn't swear this much during other administrations.

[Left Is Write]

29. Quite a while.

[XemaSab]

30. Fuck if I know

n/t

[DS1]

66. Fuck, you beat me to it

[Wcross]

31. I try not to use profane language at all.

I can use more creative words to express myself. Cussing is akin to wearing a ball cap back wards and trousers that sag down so as to show your boxer shorts. Low class and ignorant.
I can swear with the best of them but choose not to. I respect other people more than that.

[njdemocrat106]

33. I try my best not too

Yeah, I let a few words slip on a regular occasion, but I can probably control it if I really try hard (and I'm probably more profane here on DU than I am in real life). BTW, it's standard procedure when I'm driving and I see a W'04 or Bush/Cheney sticker on another car for me to shout "F*ckin' W Buick Century!" (or whatever the model of the offending automobile is), even if my windows are all rolled up. Had to do it today to a Mazda MPV (I work with cars, so I know my models :) ).

[Briarius]

32. not very fucking long, that's for damn sure!

:evilgrin:

[astonamous]

35. I can go about 6 hours...at work if I try. But

I am an administrator for Richard Pryor's website and usually have to read profanity all day. Does that count?

[AntiCoup2K4]

36. How the fuck am I supposed to fucking answer a goddamn question like that?

:shrug:

[DainBramaged]

37. Feckin feck fecker

I fuckin forgot what the fuck this fucking thread was about.

[aquaman]

39. Not using profanity is fucking easy.....

[tibbir]

40. You need to use profanity to fuckin' make a point.

[Wcross]

68. What "point" do you make by using profanity?

Any moron can cuss. Is that the point you want people to get?

[Devra]

72. well

if you are trying to show someone that you are angry.it might work. as long as you don't curse that much otherwise

[Wcross]

75. People can usually tell when I am angry w/o my cussing. n/t

[liberaltrucker]

41. Yeah, 5 minutes is about right

in my line of work:rofl:

[datasuspect]

42. not very fucking long

goddamnit

[flvegan]

43. Fuck this poll

I could fucking last as fucking long as I fucking wanted, damnit.

Oh, fuck me...didn't make it.

[Fox Mulder]

44. I swear all the fucking time.

Even in front of my parents.

So...about five minutes, to answer your poll question.

[trackfan]

45. if you can't last indefinitely you're fucking weak hahahaha

[DainBramaged]

46. Well, I'm saying fucking good night, errr, good morning, errr

what the fuck.

[Heidi]

47. I'd do OK.

I don't really feel comfortable using profanity. :shrug:

[DanCa]

48. Does Battlestar Galactica swearring count

Those Gull Mongering republican are full of frackin feldecarb

[leftofthedial]

49. probably about five fucking minutes

oh shit. I fucked up.

[DainBramaged]

50. I thought I could survive before fucking coffee

and I did, but no I have to wait till it cools the fuck off. I hate fucking naps instead of deep fucking sleep.

[Callalily]

51. I rarely swear,

just don't feel the need. Now mind you, it's a different story if I'm extremely angry, which too is rare.

[Politically_Wrong]

55. 5 minutes...

The last 2 weeks I can't seem to stop swearing!!! I don't understand what the hell is wrong...maybe I'm a little stressed out...oh well...fuck it...

[Callalily]

59. I can certainly relate

to the stress issue. I'm trying to find time to take a sick day, but I'm so busy, just can't seem to fit it in. I've heard playing video games relieves stress, at least it does for me. Don't know if that's but it is what it is. And oh,

[Politically_Wrong]

63. No bus...NO SCHOOL!

The bus never showed up this morning! so I decided to just go back to sleep...I didn't want to call one of my parents at work O8) oh well...guess its time to watch some TV!

[Callalily]

65. Oh Yukon, consider

it a sign from God! That was very considerate of you not to bother your parents too. Hmmmm, I'm thinking about you having extra time, and while I'm here busy and . Ah is there no justice in the world. I suspect though, you'll be catching up on your homework, doing extra credit and reading for fun.

[Politically_Wrong]

67. lol, when you're right...you're right...

I did do some fun reading on two books...I admit I went back and forth between two books...not a good thing to do for most people...but as you know i'm not like most people :rofl:

[Callalily]

69. You never fail to make me smile!

And yes, I suspect you're not like most people, but that's part of your charm.

Two book huh? I tried four at one time but had to give up (books for fun). Right now I'm up to two. One on CD and one I'm reading. I'll tell you about the one on CD sometime. I think you'd enjoy it. Wonderful storyteller, wonderful prose.

[LeftyMom]

52. Several hours or perhaps days if I really wanted to

but I like my colorful metaphors. :)

[bridgit]

54. fuck if i know...

:rofl: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/flash/fwordflash.html

[BreweryYardRat]

56. 5 minutes.

Tops.

[hyphenate]

57. You fargin iceholes!

How dare you bastiches try to corrupt me. You are somanabitchs all of you!

Actually, it doesn't take me long to begin to swear. Except when I was at work surrounded by so-called "Christians" I kind of kept my tongue from wagging too much. Mainly because when I was there, I needed the job.

[DainBramaged]

58. crap it's been nearly 8 hours

how could I have gone so fucking long?

[Lilith Velkor]

60. Bollocks.

[elehhhhna]

61. 6 hrs. as I sleep 7 hrs per night.

[SarahB]

62. Fuck me, Alice.

[afdip]

64. not long if i'm talking to fucking repukes

[fleabert]

70. fuck! that's a revealing question!

shit. oh well. that didn't last long.

[Devra]

71. I don't use profanity that much anyway

I figure if I use it all the time it doesn't mean that much.
besides I can't realy get away with it any way. I have an inocent look about me so people find it distracting when I curse. they stop listening to me and start thinking. "oh my god she cursed"
I can't get away with slang either.

[Divameow77]

73. About 1 day

I try to keep it tame but I always end up saying something I shouldn't, usually in front of my boys too, and usually the F word.
I typically don't cuss when I post.

[DainBramaged]

74. Fuck, it's been a day.
