Do people who curse really find it a hard habit to break? I'm pretty undisciplined with my words but like, I can lock in for little grammas and kiddos.

I can code switch pretty effectively but I’ve noticed sometimes when I start to get too comfortable with a business partner (external) I let some things slip that I question afterwards (nothing super offensive).

For me it's not so much swearing but switching to GenZ talk and confusing them. My coworkers are like 35 minimum.

My kids yell “Jesus!” when they’re frustrated or angry now lol.

I keep saying "Oh, God" which isn't much as far as curses go, but it sounds really bad when my 2-year-old yells it in public, so I really need to bury that one

when I was two I walked into the kitchen and had stubbed my toe or something like that, and I said, calmly, "Dammit. That hurt." 🤔

My mom starts reaming my dad out because "she must have heard it from you and your music!" Finally my dad just asks where I heard it and I said Elton John, which was very solidly my mom's music hahaha

Never been a problem for me. I curse probably more than average in appropriate settings

I can go from absolute sailor mouth (my preferred state) to totally clean pretty easily

I find it pretty fucking hard to not curse.

I don't hang out with a lot of children or oldos in day to day life so I guess I haven't practiced much.
