Open swearing, which was common in olden times then became 'rude' and taboo, is making a comeback.

Would you use the f word infront of your parents? Today?
Or are kids today just potty mouthed wankers ???

I would never swear, especially the "F" word in the workplace. You can make make a far greater impact without ever swearing.
Amongst friends? You're fucking right.

I swear a lot, but wouldn't say "fuck" in front of colleagues or my parents.

I'd do it a lot, but try to avoid it in the workplace. Also Irish, so...y'know, we're loved for it and get away with it.
I think it depends entirely on the tone.

Never. I don't allow that kind of shit. It's fucking stupid to piss-off at people a lot, even if they're assholes. If somebody gets on your nerves just tell him to fuck off. No need to descend into negativeness.

Yeah I don’t tend to swear in front of my parents. Friends occasionally but not often.

I did swear an excessive amount through my twenties but I've gone off it now that I'm a proper adult. Still use it for emphasis or anger, of course.
