Randomly clicking various videos in the related videos column on Youtube I somehow avoid the weird part of youtube and come across this

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeFZUFX95kE



So, do you censor yourself? are you mindful of where you are or what company you are with? do you swear and curse regardless?

I personally use all words under the sun ( the more the better ) when I inadvertently hurt myself, as a description of how much something hurts. However, when i'm repeating something that someone else said in places where it's perhaps not considered professional ( like work ) I omit certain words.

How about you?

In closing, this guy has done other videos, some of them are even quite good!

I do actually.

If I know the person I'm speaking to is offended by swearing, I'll try not to. I'll try - I sometimes still do it! And end up saying 'sorry'.

Ditto with particular subject matters. Some topics of conversation are off-limits.

I don't think it's a bad thing necessarily to censor yourself - it shows that you have some social skills!
