Swearing is a great way of expressing emotion that can't be adequately expressed with other words. It is a rich and varied part of language that can be used for all kinds of things, especially comedy. Go watch Withnail & I, then you'll learn.
Offensive words are only offensive to ignorant people,are you offended by that, because what I have said is>> Offensive words are only offensive to innocent people,on the other hand there are people generally in pseudo-higher circles
who choose to present an air of ignorance for their own self interest
exclaiming "oh I was unaware of this that or the other.thank you for bringing it to my attention,we must do something immediately".
I don't mind mixed swearing but people who say fuck a lot start to rub me up the wrong way, but it would be the same if someone repeated any (perhaps 'offensive') word obsessively.
that last line made me choke on my sandwich.

i agree with Fry but frankly i don't really see the point of swearing.
usually its just swearing for the sake of swearing. meaningless and annoying
some sort of childish and rebellious struggle against rules
or to stress seriousness because of the alleged severity of the term
deeming a word as "wrong" is stupid, but using it just because it's deemed wrong is just as stupid
when people stop caring and being offended, no one will want to use curse words and they will lose their underlying meaning

Stop seeing them as wrong and the problem goes away.

"Perhaps, it might help if I explained that I don't give a flying toss about what you think."
Such a formal tone, it's brilliant. I wish this was how they actually dealt with people like that on chat shows. XD

ah love it! Comedian Lewis Black did a nice little bit about 'Bad Language' in one of his routines you should check out.

I can't cuss either (only when typing) because they might hear me and they hate it too.
