I think I'm going to have to disagree with you. I meant to impart that some people I know curse so eloquently, in my opinion, that I enjoy listening to them curse. I think it adds to my enjoyment of what they are saying, and contrapositively, what they are saying would not be as interesting to listen to without their use of curse words. The phraseology would simply have a different texture, and I would find it more bland to listen to.
I agree that simply willy-nilly throwing in a bunch of curse words won't make a dull person more interesting. There I'll agree with you on personality - and perhaps I would say that for some people, the use of curse words is a part of their personality, in as much as it contributes to their conversational vernacular. I guess I would consider some use of curse words to be like verbal spice. You can't make a crappy dish any better with hot pepper (In my opinion, that's like throwing on pachuli to cover up your body odor...yes ye un-washed trustafarian, I'm talking about you); but liberal use of certain spices can make good chile great.
