Profanity!
How much do you swear?
All the f*** time, asshole.
A lot.
About as much as most people.
I try not to.
Never, or nearly never.
F*** This! Another God Damn Poll!

A lot. I tone it down where appropriate, but that is not the default condition.

I try not to and largely keep it in check online, but I still have not broken my Navy training and drop too many F-Bombs, especially when driving in crap traffic which is most traffic in NJ.
I can get pretty sour at the office.
Mostly guys talking about cars--things can get pretty salty.
I am pretty clean around my kid. As I should be.

I keep my profanities in reserve for emergencies. The F-bomb is defused if dropped too often. As sometimes I need to tell, say, my insane sister that she is a manipulative, self-righteous, odious bitch who needs to be locked in a fucking cage with a goddamn tiger so she can be his motherfucking dinner, I prefer to keep the fuse primed.

I swear as a first language. You'd think I learned to talk from a Navy Chief with a stubbed toe who just caught three people sleeping on shift. I can make your mechanic blush. I embarrass drill instructors with my language. I make Richard Pryor seem like Martha Stewart.
I fucking swear a shitload.
Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.
I swear far more than I should. I can control it at work or around company, but the rest of the time I sound like a Tarantino character.
I tend to swear a lot. I try in general to err on the side of not swearing although it never really sticks. I don't have a great filter so if I'm used to saying fuck this and fuck that I'll tend to say it around my boss or grandma. Then, conversely, by trying to tone down the swearage I end up yelling stuff like "This dang piece of crud!" in front of my friends and they laugh at me.
I try not to use the F-bomb -- unless I'm quoting, or else for comedic effect. Beleive it or not, I was raised to be a gentleman.At least that much of it stuck. Also, I had a roommate whose every-other word was F___. Even around his five-year-old daughter. This simply isn't done.
In it's place, when necessary, I use bloody, bleedin', fricken, sackin', or something else.
'Never say "no" to adventure. Always say "yes". Otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.' -- Commander Caractacus Pott, R.N. (Retired)
I swear a ton, and it takes all my willpower not to drop the f-bomb in front of the kids.
Former Navy. It's hard to censor my language around children. Fortunately I can get away with British usage in public, still.
If I'm around people I don't know well, or anything I would consider "polite company", no, I don't swear all that much. However, when I'm inebriated or stuck in traffic I really don't hold back. (Also, in the cooler at work, away from customers, if something goes awry. Just try accidentally knocking a dolly of milk over without telling it to fuck itself sideways. I dare you.)

So, we're a pretty foul-mouthed bunch.

Isn't that, "Dude, I f'ing work in f'ing construction."
I was going for subtle there, for fuck's sake!
Shit yes I swear all the goddamn time. What the fuck are you gonna do about it, ass.

I'm embarrassed to admit now, that I'm pretty sure I don't swear very often at all. Nothing against it though personally. The last time I can remember swearing was to tell a punch line to one of those dirty jokes I love so much.
Working in swearing to conversation, or even traffic protests, doesn't come naturally to me.
I like to consider myself well-spoken, but....I realized a few years ago that I wasn't being particularly creative with my vocabulary. So, I gave up swearing for Lent. Not easy. That was when I realized the great satisfaction I take in the "four-letter" words.
^^ I should point out that this woman is the reason I now swear so much. I didn't used to.
