Why not just say swearing? Cussing sounds so gay.

Cussing is when you try to insult someone, eg. Your mum.

Cussing isn't even a word. Swearing is a scientific term, too.

Dysphemistic swearing - Exact opposite of euphemism. Forces listener to think about negative matter. Using the wrong euphemism has a dysphemistic effect. (Example: He forgets her!)
Abusive swearing - for abuse or intimidation or insulting of others (Example: You motherloving son of a bitch! forget you, starfish!)
Idiomatic swearing - swearing without really referring to the matter.. just using the words to arouse interest, to show off, and express to peers that the setting is informal. (Example: forget, man.)
Emphatic swearing - to emphasise something with swearing. (Example: It was so loving big I swear!)
Cathartic swearing - when something bad happens like coffee spilling, people curse. One evolutionary theory asserts it is meant to tell the audience that you're undergoing a negative emotion. (Example: Aww, forget!)

I do idiomatic swearing.

Or cursing. :) Yay for un-ban.

The No Cussing Club. Whenever I think of that, I rage.

The word makes me want to vomit all over the cigarettes who use it.

I tend to ban people for a few minutes if they use the word "Cussing."

Swearing, and Cursing are non-Ghetto forms for saying those words, like: Bitch, forget, cunt, etc.
