This isn't one of those things where I'm going to implore you to use clean, family friendly language and tell you how un-classy it is to use "dirty words". Not at all. When it comes to profanity I'm actually a fan. However it really aggravates me when people overuse curse words. Part of what makes curse words so fun is that they are generally used in special circumstances. If every miniscule annoyance in your life warrants a an f-bomb or any of the other choice words that are considered profane, then I'm inclined to think that they happen to be the only interesting words you know, well either that or you may have anger issues. I would think that using profanity every other minute takes the satisfaction out of using it when it really is necessary. And trust me there are times when it is both necessary and extremely satisfying (like whenever I stub my toe). It would bother me less if the people I know who over-swear did it well. You see I kinda see swearing as an art form. Some people can string together a line of curse words so eloquently that any time they choose to do so, it seems perfectly appropriate. I love it when people bellow out these amazingly awful but awesome lines. There should be classes on how to accurately and eloquently swear. I would take that class. Think about it, your insults would give whiplash! I guess the point of this post is to implore everyone to please conserve the sanctity of profanity and to explore a broader more interesting vocabulary.
