Here's one that I think no one gets: swearing (vulgarity, obscenity, intensifiers, etc) is utterly useless in today's world. First, the people who practice it haven't been taught not to, and so they protest nothing at all. They fight nothing. The language is commonplace, and therefore not shocking. "Fuck" has about as much utility as "very", and "damn" is about as interesting as "umm". So, why do you do it?
