Really, I'm sick of hearing myself cuss.

But in the last couple of years my cuss quota has increased exponentially. I don't recall cussing in writing before, although I may have done so a few times. But ever since getting involved in DU and reading posts, and posting, I find myself cussing in writing more and more.

I have to believe other people here have done the same, but, still, I don't like to see myself go there.

3. Rude pundit effect

It's very fashionable these days to cuss.

And some apparently think it makes them seem cool or tough.

8. I went through a period many years ago

when cussing stopped being a release just because I was doing it so much. So when I got really pissed off, I'd have to say something like goshdarn or good heavens to get that release. True story.
