    My husband let the s-word fly the other day.  It was the first time I'd heard him say it and immediately he had the most sheepish look on his face and started apologizing.  It really hadn't bothered me that he said it (God knows, I've said it), but it was so cute and sweet that he felt bad that he did so in front of me.  It is my understanding that among other guys, hia language is quite a bit saltier.

    One exception?  In the bedroom.  For whatever reason, anything goes there.  He will say anything...and loves when he can get me to say four-letter words,  I get the feeling he'd not be nearly so thrilled if I talked that way in public though.

    My FI and I both have terrible language. We do both watch what we say in public, around or families... and really just in general to anyone else. But when it is just the two of us in a room we say anything. FI actually thinks its funny (and it does crack me up) to go on swearing tirades like the dad in Christmas Story. Like he won't even really be mad about something and he'll just start swearing at it to make me laugh.

    I cuss way more than I should, but FI rarely lets one go. He just doesn't use those words very much in his vocabularly, I don't think he's trying to filter just on my behalf :). I'm trying to stop saying as many, too, so it definitely helps to have a non-cussing FI!

    I didn't vote because neither of us swear much so it's not an issue for us.  Actually I'll drop cr*p, sh*t, a$$ every now and then (rarely) but he never swears.  Thankfully!

    Hell yeah he swears in front of me, but then again I "cuss like a sailor" according to him.  We know where and when to hold our tongues, but we let loose when it's just the two of us.  However, we never swear at each other.

    My FI has the worst mouth (but not in front of strangers, old people, or in professional settings) mostly when he is watching sports- which is pretty much all his free time! I asked him to make it his New Year's resolution to cut out the "f-word" in front of me. We'll see how long that lasts!

     LOL. It's weird but my husband doesn't swear like ever. I, on the other hand, can have the mouth of a sailor sometimes. But actually like you said about your husband, my husband does swear alot in the bedroom. It's Weird. He actually trys to get me to swear and I just can't during that time. Its so weird. Its like we totally switch rolls. Odd....

    @sloth: ditto on that.

    But there is one strand of curse words he says that makes me cringe.  He uses it when he's REALLY pissed about something and I always give him the hairy eyeball when he says it...ready?

    Rotten Whore M*th*r F*ck*er

    URGH!  Even typing it makes me cringe.

    Neither of us swear that much. Except when I catch the kitchen stove on fire and start screaming "Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t!!!"like I did Monday night. Neither of us get offended when the other one swears.

    Neither of us swear too much, but he certainly doesn't monitor himself in front of me. He does hate it when I swear tho, lol. He says it's not "ladylike" although he's mostly kidding.

    He's curbed it a little around me (at my request) but whenever we visit his parents he comes back forgetting it (blame his brother, he has very... creative vocabularly because of WoW).

    Also, sports and the Biggest Loser bring it out. The first becuase, well, it's sports, and the second because it's always awake up call about his own weight.

    We both say curse words regularly but we watch it in public, around olde folks (his grandparents) and little kids. He was REALLY bad when he was in the Army and would apologize sometimes because it would get out of hand--more than just saying shit or something like that.

    I think truckers would be uncomfortable around our language. We swear infront of our parents too, we're certainly not shy about it. Prior to meeting FI, my family swore but not constantly. The first family dinner I had with FI and his parents I couldn't believe the words that we're coming out of their mouths (not because they offended me, I was just surprised). Since then (over 5 years ago), I've developed quite the potty mouth.

    Funny exchange between me and my mother on Christmas morning:

    Me: (dropped something) F*CK!!
    Mom: Don't say F*UCK on Christmas hunny.

    She's pretty much the coolest mom ever!

    My husband and I aren't big cursers. Only when we get hurt or something super ridiculous happens! He didn't swear AT ALL around me until a year ago. It was really cute:) My family is big with potty mouths and it always disgusted me so I vowed to  be the opposite. I still say the S word or D word when I get hurt though...like when I cut off my finger nail peeling potatoes.

    SO never let a curse word fly until DragonCon of last year...in fact, I remember the first time he cursed...you'd have thought someone just tortured my kitten.  But now, he lets 'em fly more regularly.  Mostly when it's just us, but sometimes, he'll slip up.  For me, cursing is an art form.

    But we both use "Frak" a LOT...

    i think the "s" word is common in both of our verbiage over frustrating situations. but all other swear words DH does a good job not using around me. or anyone for that matter. i'm probably worse when it comes to swearing than him. :P

    Huge pottymouths. Both of us. We generally try to be tactful and use it only with people who wouldn't be uncomfortbale with it, though. As an unspoken rule, never in front of kids or elderly folks.

    He'll curse occasionally but I'm definitely more of a potty mouth, especially when Im stressed I can let out a string of cusses.

    He is very laid-back so that doesn't lend itself to a lot of bad language anyway.

    We both curse a lot... It's bad. But, we watch ourselves in public or around family.

    It's kind of a joke now. One of us will drop an F-bomb and the other will act shocked and say "I don't want to hear that kind of language in my house!" or if I say it FI will respond with "real ladies don't curse!".... we're bad.

    My DH rarely uses foul language--it's one of the reasons I married him.

    I get sick listening to the potty mouths everywhere today, it's really lame.  Are people not intelligent enough to express themselves without a bunch of f-bombs all the time?

    I swear way more than he does, but I am pretty sure he swears around me, too.  I just don't notice it.  I'm actually much more bothered by people overtly not swearing (not just not happening to swear which is fine, but using really obvious non-swears as if I am too delicate a flower to hear their bad language).

    My fiance is pretty good about watching it around children, old ladies, family, etc.  I clean up my language at work, but that's about it.  I am not even going to mention how many times I say something really foul and then realize there are children around.  As far as family goes, my whole family is as foul mouthed as I am. 

    ETA: I also watch my mouth on wedding bee!

    Oh wow...we are part of the "cusses like a salior" group. Sometimes me more than him depending on the situation. If I'm on a jampage he will ask me if the pants I'm wearing are my "Sailor Pants" lol We curb it totally in front of our children. But, in front of family and friends it's pretty much normal. We are all pretty laid back.

    LOL Love this thread! My fiance and I cuss waaay too much, though I never cuss in front of my mom or his parents and he rarely cusses in front of them. It's so bad that we've tried to start coming up with different words. Our favorites are "scandalous basket, trashhole, and slank (slut mixed w/skank)."  Its kind of sad but we think its really funny, I am also a terrible road rager. We have 2 little ones and we tone it down in front of them, but they are trash talkers too. Our daughter always calls her daddy a "sucka." Sad, I know.

    Out of the two of us I swear more but I think part of that is English is my FI's second language so he is less apt to use curse words in everyday conversations.

    @morgobride: We also love to make-up words or just use words as our own curse words. One of our favorites is to use is hobo, as in " stop acting like such a hobo" or "this show is a giant hobo". It really does not make sense but cracks us up.
