For those that do it almost involuntarily, could you go one day without swearing?

[terry78]

My mom actually told me she tried to get my dad to do this a few days back, which I thought was hilarious, because the dude can not go one day without uttering the s-word. Apparently he almost made it, but at night, it slipped out or something. Those of us that do it without even thinking probably don't have any interest in it, because it's more about the principle of the thing. I don't do it constantly, but I confess I probably do it about once a day, either to myself or to someone, and I tried it earlier today, but I already lost by doing it in earlier posts and an hour ago when I tripped over somebody's garden hose.

Challenge accepted.

 

[Alchemyst]

**** no, I'll lose that within the first 30 minutes of getting to work

 

[maenalus]

I could never do it. I wish I could, but I can't.

 

[DarkReflections]

Anyone that knows me knows it would be a miracle if I could do that. So I really can't make any promises.

 

[Honey Vibe]

In Phoenix? Yes. In New York? No.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I swear probably daily, but I probably -could- go a day without swearing.

God damnit.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

I could never do this...but i'll try.

 

[Anubis]

24 hours? I'll give it a shot.

 

[Bnightwing]

I do it everyday. Easy.

 

[SuperFerret]

I've tried, and done it a few times successfully. I never made it past two or three days though.

 

[Bnightwing]

My brother gave me a challenge to not say 'like' if I did I'd have to do 20 push ups.

 

[Anubis]

I'm out.

 

[Crook]

Is it really that hard? It doesn't take effort to NOT do something unless it's compulsive.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm starting now. And yes, it is difficult if it's become habit and you have a bad temper and live around stupid people.

 

[Wolfwood]

Does thinking it count? Cause if not, then I could do it...I think.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

So is terry actually throwing down the gauntlet on us? Or is it just a theoretical question?

 

[Poetic Chaos]

No. It's just too naturally integrated into my vocabulary.

 

[webhead731]

I only turn it off when it's not appropriate to use.

Is it really that hard? It doesn't take effort to NOT do something unless it's compulsive.

You'd ****in think so. But it's really ****ing hard. I mean ****...REALLY ****ING HARD. Goddamnit.....****..

 

[KevanG]

If I'm by myself for a day, no problem. If I'm at work, not likely going to happen. I do retentions for Bell internet and deal with some of the dumbest people I've ever talked to and the computer programs usually don't work right.

 

[Hound55]

I'd lose that bet 3 seconds into the day...

*Alarm goes off at 5 AM for me to get ready for work*
"Oh for f***s sake!" *Hits off button on alarm*
*Walks downstairs swearing under breath*

MAAAAYBE I could do it if I worked an afternoon and everyone in the world pitched in to help by not being so f***ing stupid. Maybe. I wouldn't bet on it though...

 

[Prison Mike]

Yes. It's not that hard.

Spoiler

that's what she said

 

[CashforStash]

Challenge accepted!!!

P.S. Paul McCartney concert tonight, so this will be easy

 

[Moridin]

I'll only take on the challenge if you get someone who hardly ever/never swears to swear as much as possible for the same period of time.
