My husband used to use the word pi** all the time, which I thoroughly disliked, and complained until he stopped. LOL!!!! My main point, "Do you want the kids to say it?" He didn't think it was a curse word (or bad word), though, and still doesn't.
I've had to break several bad habits regarding the sissy words, like cra*, screwed, etc.
I can say I don't use the bad words...BUT... One time Jeff and I had a big argument, and I let a really, REALLY bad word fly, mostly for shock value. He looked at me like I had grown 15 horns, and looked really disgusted, and then I was just embarrassed. LOL!!!
Kids will inspire you to clean up your mouth, because they repeat EVERYTHING.
I have to say, my family, well, foul language is not really frowned upon, except for maybe the F word, and some of the really obscene language. I'm changing that in our house!!!! (Mostly my Dad's side--I've never heard my mother use any kind of bad word, sissy, slang or otherwise.)
If my wife cussed at me in an argument it would probably defeat the purpose. I would probably bust out laughing.

Be honest do you curse? If so what do you consider cursing? Just 4-letter words or the sissy cursing? I don't expect everyone to answer honestly here. I will though. It is on a very rare occasion but I say curse words. Nothing terrible like f words or GD. I hate those. But I am just being honest. Again it is on a VERY rare occasion that one slips. What about you all?
I excpet Elder Epley to tell us he is a closet curser. LOL
Wow...provocative subject. I'll come clean too...having been in the military I've occasionally (rare occasions) dropped a few verbal bombs when upset. But like you, I never use the name of Jesus as an expletive or say GD.

Oh, I hate to be laughed at (when I'm upset)!!! LOL!!!
When I was a kid I couldn't say my "r" sound, and it took a lot of work for me to get over that. Well, when I get upset or frazzled, sometimes I forget my "r's"--and when I do, it's too much for Jeff to handle. He thinks that is the funniest thing EVER!!!!

No, I just wanted to keep you in suspense like I was for whole night after the incident... The mom came in the next day and with tears STREAMING down her face from laughing said she had to talk to me outside...
She said, "I asked him about the word this morning, it was Qwrap"
(say it out loud)
That was 9 years ago and I still laugh about it!
Cra* is the word I use, and I am always getting hammered about it.
Of course, my mom still gasps when I say butt, that was not acceptable in our house growing up!!
I heard about a preacher who was really going in his sermon and meant to say that people needed to listen instead of thinking about what they were going to eat at Fuddruckers later......Hilarity ensued.

I didn't grow up around a lot of cussing, but my Mom would threaten in a not very nice tone that she was going to slap the "s" out of us!

My daughter told on her bigger brother once for saying the "s" word. I was shocked that he knew it and especially that she would know it was wrong.
I asked her to tell me what the word was and she wouldn't do it - - finally I convinced her it was okay to whisper it to me......it was shut up. Whew!
I told on my aunt one time for saying the F word. She was a lot younger than my mom and lived with us for a while when she was a teenager.
We had missionaries staying with us, and I rushed into the room in front of them and told my mom that my aunt had said the F word! She was upset and denying it, and I started crying, insisting she was lying! My mom finally pulled me to the side and had me whisper what she had said.
