Interesting replies so far, although admittedly I've yet to read and reply to beasty's thoughts. In truth, despite my first post, I am a casual cusser at best. Every now and again I might put "fuckin'" in a sentence casually, but otherwise I use it more often when I get highly pissed or excited. And when pissed, beep might follow if I'm referring to someone I don't like. The funny thing about Australia is apparently such phrases can also be used affectionately around good company. Or just as a response to someone horsing around (like being farted on).
Now I'm starting to think we don't know how to swear properly down here.
