How can you tell is swearing is natural or 'put on'?

Anyway, I swear WAY to much, and can't seem to be able to control it. I even swore in a job interview once, and that was while purposely trying to obviously not do it

I do take your point LT that sometimes swearing excessively may actually detract from a conversation. I've made a point to stop using "common use"/"lazier" verbiage, including dropping some swearing for emphasis. It can be a conversation destroyer and I do feel like it helps us to keep someone elses attention for longer for much bigger topics of conversation... points made using "emphatic" language tends to be overlooked during complex conversation, as we all tend to overuse to common platitudes/phrases in order to make the listen feel "listened to" and that we "agree completely", etc... kind of like a "f--- yeah" instead of actually illustrating to them exactly where we relate/connect with them on the other person's points... but there are social situations where it really doesn't matter at all and no need to give a f* about it.... or even, they can give all their f*s...

unfortunately there's people that can't string a sentence together without swearing first . it can get boring if every word is F this and F that .

Yeah... in TX, swearing comes naturally as we don't really mince words when it comes to certain things. However, it fits really well into everyday conversation and it doesn't feel like it is overdone... people just tend to have strong opinions here and we do have more than a few ways here to effectively express when we think someone/something is full of BS... the older, the more creative/craftier and blunt we are about it...

However, nothing is more embarrassing than someone who descends into a total tantrum full of swear words and other self-absorbed nonsense... it just looks very bad and like that person has become unhinged.

Just some random thoughts.

LT is from Scotland though. Scotland. A land where "daft c u nt" is a term of endearment. I can't believe that LT is offended by everyday swearing or he simply wouldn't be able to exist here . Maybe this is why he ran away to live in a hut in the hills...

I tend to filter it out myself... LT must be very audio/verbally-oriented... I'm sure there's a more precise definition...

I saw the film King of Thieves today, 4 pensioners who robbed Hatton Garden security boxes. Michael Caine, Ray Winston and Jim Broadbent swore their way through it all, just showing youngsters that they didn't invent swearing as they like to think they have.
