A’s
B’s
C’s
D’s
If you have got more A’s, that
means that you are a
compulsive Swear-er. You use
cuss words as often as
breathing. Your expressions
are only edified by the cuss
words you use, without them,
your statements and sentences
are incomplete. You feel the
dire need to communicate
using cuss words and you
strongly believe that without
them, you wouldn’t be able to
put across your point, be it
love or hate. You speak
gibberish, most of the times!
If you have more B’s that
means, you use cuss words in
75 percent of your daily
parlance and feel that they
are best used with your own
people. You are not a public
abuser and you will not go
about cursing the autowallahs
of Mumbai, instead you
would cuss your own people
out of love and join in a
collective, social cursing.
You curse only when you
need to. You have other
means of conveying your
thoughts and expressions and
you do them eloquently. You
may use the cuss words for
gaining a societal recognition
for being cool and trendy,
but you don’t bring it into
daily usage. You are a
decent person!
You have hardly ever used the
F, the A, and B, C words in
English and Hindi. You are
usually quiet and silent and
do not feel the need to
express in extremes. You have
always believed that there is
a way to get things done and
abusing or cursing is definitely
not one of them. You are an
angel, because when you
speak, you inspire!
