What do you call it...cursing, cussing or swearing?

I call it swearing... the word "cuss" kind of annoys me.

Update:

...or if you call it something else, feel free to share it.

    To me cursing is the effect or action of some kind of power over someone,as a spell.

    Cussing is a curse directed at some one,or an odd perverse person or creature...

    swearing is to utter profanity's or to sear in a oath.

    So I have to go with swearing as I was taught it was called and defined...

    Source(s): swearing it is called to me,and cussing is vary annoying,as when some says cursing they sound like there some kind of uppy person..

    Swearing

    curing sounds like you're a wizard and cussing to me sounds like a cuss word.

    Sometimes I just say stop yelling cuz theyre usually yelling when theyre swearing

    Different things tat tdifferent times. Sometimes I say curse, sometimes cuss and sometimes swearing. At work I usually say curse or swearing but if I get around my SO's redneck family, I tend to copy them and say cuss.

    I call it either cussing or swearing

    Swearing unless it's someone who can't talk without using the "F" word then it's called foul mouth or filthy mouth.

    I call them bad words

    Cursing sounds too European, cussing annoys me too, swearing sounds too old-fashioned. They are just "bad words" to me.:P

    Swearing. Nobody else where I live calls it anything different.
