Dialects!

[Giff]

British accents are very intresting, but very hard to understand sometimes. But Scottish and Irish are even harder to understand, they are also perhaps more fun accents.

Anyway what I´ve noticed is that british use the word "fuck" very much like its common word use in the daily life. Dont know if thats a true. But those british Ive heared talking often say that, what they talk about anyway is hard to understand because they often have very difficult accents.

It depends on the person, personally I never use the word "fuck"!

Depends on who you mix with but yeah, people I do typically use it in ordinary conversation but good humour (like "fuck off" in response to good-natured ribbing) ... at my age certainly we usually know when to turn it off and my experience is that younger people use such words more. Of course (WRT using it aggressively) anyone with a brain knows that there is time and a place, swearing typically loses you the high ground in any argument (although the use of "fuck" doesn't necessarily mean you are a yob, it does introduce the "yob factor") so if you are going to use it, use it tactically (it can have seriously impressive shock value).

I use the term with some friends and family, it's a way of letting people know I'm comfortable with them. In a simialr vein I insult them and degrade them all to show I love the annoying sods.

With strangers it's use is limited to extreme emphasis or insulting them. In my experience, younger people over reach the bounds more (as I did) but the tend to improve their social ettiquet with age.
