1. Well, please vote for what sign you think uses the most foul language.

2. (If you have time)Please also let me know if you would avoid friendship with such a person?

My response:

1. I am thinking Taurus, followed by Aries
2. No

I am a Taurus myself so I am not just picking at Taureans, in my whole life I havent met guys that would use more foul language than Taureans

i think they're pretty equal in that one...however i wouldn't avoid a relationship with either one of them, however (sagittarians). i think sags absolutely wonderful my bf is a sag with an aqua moon, he swears so much even i have to tell him to calm it down. and my mouth can be as foul as a severely unsanitized junkyard,( i think that comes from my scorp sun/leo moon and just saying whatever i want most of the time) hehe. i think taurean men...blatantly swear the most, but sagittarian men say some extremely unacceptable things. like repulsive like who would think of that or say that kind of things...idk maybe it depends on the chart...my bfs got double the tactlessness so maybe its just him.

I curse alot. I can't help it. If I bang my toe against something its f&*k!!!

If there's a book a like then it's I gotta get that f*$#in book.

My mom always gets mad and tells me not to curse.

I call all my female friends b*tches and sl^ts...in a nice way of course.

When I get mad.........you don't even wanna know what comes out of my mouth!

My aries also swears alot. as do his parents. But at times he can be hurtfull in his swearings. He has a tendancy to direct them at others. I have some gemini friends who are with in less that 24 hours apart. THEY swear alot. Atleast these two do. And they are hurtfull as well in their usage of the words.

on another note, my mother only uses the S (or CHIT) word. I have never heard her use any other swear words.

Oh and no i would never terminate a friendship based on curse words.

I do understand various occupations that may, at times, be vulger in their language. Mr. Taurus is an MP in the Army and he cusses ALOT when he is with his fellow soldiers - sometimes I have to gently let him know that it bothers me or that we are around children.

My cousins used to cuss like sailors..because their father was in the Navy and that is how they all talked.

...yes, I would avoid someone that cussed all the time. It is abrasive and a sign of a lack of intelligence.

pidua, I don't agree that cursing equals lack of intelligence. I spent my career in an investment banking office of a very well known bank, most of my collegues had MBAs or JDs~ and ALL of them cursed and most had hot tempers. I think people who use foul language are lacking coping skills more than anything else. Some high functioning, determined adults don't learn how to deal with thier anger and frustration and they resort to short 4 letter words to express themselves-quickly. Its pretty effective if you think about it. These people are highly intelligent, type-A, get-tbe-job done in the most efficient way-type people. You know what I mean?

As far as astrology goes, I would look to merc and mars & pluto aspects.

Taureans are my best friends, and, yes, they cuss, but there are quite a few of them that don't cuss to the degree stated in this thread. Taurus are great at making a good first impression, and they certainly have self-control when it comes to appearances.

This is absolutely un-f*cking true. There are loads and loads of successful people who aren't afraid to curse. That's a ridiculous statement to have made.

quote:

In any case - I think that people can learn to stop the foul language if they really want to, it is unbecoming and makes the person come across in the manner in which they speak.

It is unbecoming, and I would hope that my friends would never do it around my parents if my parents ever came around. However, it doesn't diminish the person. You are friends with people who cuss, so you must know their value.

-----------------------

I really did my best to try to pick what sign cusses the most, but there are too many within each sign that don't really cuss that much. Like I consider Aries and Virgos to be quite loud and demonstrative, but Aries only cusses in a moment of excitement, and Virgo cusses more after they've been drinking. Taurus cuss, but they use it as a relational tool to connect themselves to their perceived audience. I think this may also be the case with Gemini.

I am not sure WHO you worked with, but I have worked for several big companies (Biotech) negotiating deals with CEO's, scientists, distributors etc...at a VERY LARGE well known university as a Diagnostic Lab manager and NEVER once did I hear one of these people cuss like sailors.

IN FACT, if they did cuss, it was usually in reference to being startled or screwing something up, still, they had SOME modicum of decency to apologize for what they had said.

I am NOT saying I am a prude, but I do not have alot in common with someone that cusses every other second. IF it was so acceptable we would hear it in EVERY conversation instead of sparingly or in regards to people that can't find the proper words to define their emotion, point or reference without having to use an expletive.

Maybe in YOUR circles it is acceptable, but in mine it isn't. I don't give a crap if the person is a CEO, banker or sailor, it is disgusting and draws negative attention.

So, I stand by what I said and WILL not feel ashamed for admitting that I would avoid that kind of person.

There are only so many swear words and so many ways to say them. Get a freaking dictionary and thesaurus and get creative using intelligent words.

LMAO..what a joke.

Oh and Lovely..sorry but I just don't really believe that ALL of your colleagues cursed and had hot tempers. You live in Cali, where I come from, the HOME of being POLTICALLY CORRECT to the point of making one barf - basically, it is the home of the lawsuit (although it does compete with several eastern states on that point).

Here's creativity (& imagination)for ya:

Fraud: I got ****** at the used car lot.

Ignorance: ****** if I know.

Trouble: I guess I am ****** now!

Aggression: **** you!

Displeasure: What the **** is going on here?

Difficulty: I can't understand this ******* job.

Incompetence: He is a **** -off.

Suspicion: What the **** are you doing?

Enjoyment: I had a ******* good time.

Request: Get the **** out of here!

Hostility: I am going to knock your ******* head off!

Greeting: How the **** are you?

Apathy: Who gives a **** ?

Innovation: Get a bigger ******* hammer.

Surprise: **** ! You scared the **** out of me!

Anxiety: Today is really ******
-----------------------------------------
isnt "crap" another form of $hit?? And i believe you substituted "freaking" for f*cking ... talk about being creative! good job!

And angel, I really don't need your patronizing attitude. I have been around long enough to know the majority of curse words and how to merge them with common words / phrases. I WAS a teenager once..LOL..

Maybe you could use your creativity to come up with other ways to say that "You got ****** at the used car lot".

How about "I got duped by the schmuck car salesmen" or "I got royally swindled by that conman called a sales person"
