I agree. f*ck works great when you stub your toe or turn onto a one-way street the wrong way. In those circumstances it's not pottymouth, it's a perfectly reasonable expression. Something bad happens to you, so you say an unacceptable word. My question is this: Why is this comforting?

Generally, the overall tone of the site is probably a little elevated. And there are indeed times when the f-bomb is totally appropriate, at least according the Kathy Griffith who has seemed to have bombed her way back to the D List.

Frequently cursing lacks eloquence. Frequent cursing can very often cause others to think you're vocabulary-challenged and that possibly your mama didn't raise you right.
Allow me to give give you an example from this page. @RuthieG uses bad language infrequently and then with purpose; in short, she makes me laugh my a*s off when she cusses. @Koreh , on the other hand, use the f-word so frequently, and so often directs it at individuals, that even though it's his right to do use, I generally skip anything he says, as I probably will his reply to this.
From my own experience, playwrights will often drop the f-bomb to make their writing seem adult. Actors can't wait to get to say it on stage. Directors will realize that it takes the actor and the audience out of the moment just because it's there for shock value. [Yes, they do say f*ck all the time on Broadway, but those actors are Broadway actors and can say it without sounding like a little kid asking to have a time out.]

I think people on this site understand the importance of words. To overuse a word brings about the desensitization of the word. I agree that one should not be afraid of the word, but to place restrictions on oneself also helps prevent unnecessary anger or "trolling".

There was a great post a few weeks back with someone asking why people felt it necessary to use profanity in their answers.... well as you can imagine, it started an avalanche of profane comments. Some of them were f*****g hilarious.

I also swear a lot, but it depends on the context. I usually try to do it on here for humour rather than in an angry way. Seems less confrontational and most people on here are pretty respectful.

The way I think about swear words is that they are typically just synonyms for things people don't want to think about?

Does the word "Defecate" offend the pope? Maybe not, but if you went up to him and asked if his greatness (what do you call the pope? His "holiness"?) smelled dog sh*t... well, he'd probably not be too cool with it.

to me - it just doesn't work in print the way it does in speech.
