Some have said that swearing is the sign of a weak mind, and I tend to believe that. It is used most often by those who are too ignorant or unlearned to have a bigger, stronger vocabulary. Yes, that's a sweeping statement, and maybe a bit harsh, but lets be honest - excessive swearing is generally not a vice of the educated. Swearing is generally associated with rudeness or ignorance, and often attributed to those who have those characteristics, and just don't know better.
Everybody swears. It's a fact. We use it to punctuate our anger, most often. But it's generally because in our anger we don't often desire to seek out the most verbose, accurate way to analyse or synthesize what we are feeling inside. We just want out with it, and sometimes "Oh shit" is the first thing that comes to our mind. Which is something we should guard against, in my opinion.
