It seems to be commonplace nowadays in my neck of the woods, I personally don't mind it too much in certain circumstances but there are limits in all situations,in private is ok for me, not in public, I swear a wee bit myself but I know when and where I can do it.
PS: The small kids in my area can outswear any of the adults, sign of the times I suppose, I never heard my late Mother pass a cuss word through her lips in my life, another sign of the times?

Yes, they learned this from their dad. Roy and I can hear the father regularly screaming at them using his two favorite words which are stupid and the F word.

No class and probably lacking in self-esteem. (She'll use "shock" to get your attention.) I also think that young women nowadays, feel as though they must keep up with the "boys".

I can send out a string of cussing that could take on a life of it's own and sail around the cosmos!
I have noticed in life that pretty much all cuss words have something to do with a bodily function and that we humans have very creatively decided to use them as an insult or show of anger or simply, a 'cultural' way of getting one's point across... I am rarely, if ever offended.

I do my best swearing at other drivers and things that don't work right! The drivers never hear me! However I think my lawnmower has been offended by what I told it would happen very soon!!

My sons continue to explain that my words are useless if the other person doesn't hear them. They are helpful to me...I'd probably run someone off the road eventually otherwise.
I try to avoid it, but driving brings out the worst of me, verbally.
A few years ago, I was dining in the patio of a nice restaurant, and a small group of 20-somethings were having drinks nearby. The females were out-cursing the men 4:1 or better. I was embarrassed for them.
My theory is, people who use profanity generally have a small vocabulary...one reason it disappoints me that my sons seem to have one adjective/adverb for nearly everything.
In everyday conversation, swearing is obnoxious and ignorant. In anger or confrontation, it is antagonistic....also unnecessary.
It's too often easier to let a stream of &^*$%&^ spew instead of making an intelligent, rational statement to express one's feelings.

I used to swear a lot, it still comes easy to me but I’m trying to find some replacement words instead like my dad, he said "tarnation, crimeny," and sadly “Jesus Christ”……...

I curse very fluently in 3 languages. Each has its unique, colourful, culture-specific repertoire that truly illuminates any serious conversation.
Depending on the company of the day, I tend to use them quite regularly and on a daily basis.
