Cursing or Cussing

[TheDreamMaster]

So I was thinking earlier, what word do people use more to describe foul language? when growing up, my parents always said not to use "cuss" words, but my Grandma always said "curse words", and I've ehard both throughout my life. Now, honestly I don't really mind one way or the other, but I kind of wanted to know what gets used more and where people are that use one or the other. Or if they use something else in other countries.

"swearing" "foul language" "profane" there's lots of ways to describe it.

I just repeat all the obscenities verbatim. Especially when I'm explaining the latest "yo momma" jokes to my friend's mother.

You make a valid point....but I mostly just wondered since these two seem mostly interchangeable.

Well, now that we're on the subject, I think it's stupid that "bee itch" is censored on the Hype.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I prefer "biotch" personally.

"Cuss" is colloquial; "curse" is proper English.

I've always called it cussing.

When I was growing up, it was always "cussing". Now I tell my kids not to "curse". Funny how it changed somewhere along the line.
