I do, but it depends on who I am around. Out in public I try to keep it to a minimum and only say it so those who are with me can hear, but it is usually only a "shoot" or "darn" (substitute those for the real ones). When around any kids, whether I know them or not I do not, or at least try not to (a few have slipped out on accident). I have friends who will cuss up a storm around their kids, but even then I still won't. Other than that, around friends or family that are old enough, I'll let it fly.

If I get angry enough there may be a few profanities slip out, but that is about it. I would hardly consider someone who has a burst of profanity when angry or upset to be a "potty" mouth. On the other hand I know some people who can not complete a sentence without an expletive thrown in. I know one young couple who were so bad that the first understandable word out of their child's mouth was not something you would normally say in mixed company. I'm not sure if talking like that is an effort to impress and if it is, the impression I get is one of low intelligence.

Surprisingly being a Marine, I have a pretty clean mouth. I used to say every word in the cursing dictionary but then I reevaluated myself. My wife used to always say that swearing is just ignorance, I think she was right. Now about a year later, I can get the same point across to people without swearing, its actually pretty cool, lol. It's like breaking a bad habit. Give it a try for a couple weeks and eventually you get used to not swearing and then it just comes natural, just like swearing used too. I slip every so often but not that very much anymore, even if I am around my buddies. For me, I am actually quite proud of myself, lol.
