I am going to tie this thread to the Bill Cosby thread,in my own mind.

We use "bad" words because we don't take the time to learn a more difficult appropriate word choice. God only knows I'm really poor at english so this my excuse.
It's a non afro-americans way of ebonics

Ebonics (sometimes also called Black English, African-American Vernacular English, AAVE, or Black English Vernacular, BEV) is considered by many to be a dialect of American English. Similar to common Southern US English, the dialect is spoken in many African-American communities in the United States, especially in urban areas. It has its origins in the culture of enslaved Americans and also has roots in England, mixed with elements of West African languages.
A linguistics professor at Washington University created the term Ebonics in 1973, then detailed it in his 1975 book, Ebonics: The True Language of Black Folks. (The term Ebonics is a portmanteau of ebony and phonics).

Boco said"ebonics is not a language, it's a perversion of English. People have the right to speak any way they want, but that's not really the point Bill Cosby was trying to get across."

Speaking in conversation I get really turned off when every third word is a swear. I lose respect for you no matter how brillant you are.

We never listen to our parents the first time around because we want to make our own choices. Sometimes parents are right and we should've listened. Would've saved a lot of aggravation later.

My last thought, nothing more sad then your 6 y/o old grand child coming up to you and saying Hey pap how the fuck are you?
Goddamm it's been a cunts ass since mom brought our asses to see you!

Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
