Why do you think not swearing brings you closer to perfection, though? What's dumb about swearing? Are there not circumstances where the sh-word or f-word are the most appropriate words to use and any other word isn't the perfect fit? Did your parents not swear and you were raised thinking it was super taboo or bad?

I met someone who gets super annoyed at swearing not because of the word, but because to him, swearing mid sentence was a modern replacement for the verbalized pause (ie: excessive use of sounds such as umm and like). I realized it's kinda true. The profanity helps to convey a certain emotion in the sentence, but can also act like a pause for effect part of the delivery.
