Beats me. I swear less than my parents do, and that's saying quite a bit. Occasionally I'll throw one out or whatever though, normally either in fun, or because I'm having a vocabularic blockage. I don't think there's much of a moral or annoyance component to swearing though, and it stops being done for the "coolness" factor after about grade 8 with most people. After that it's just force of habit and limited vocabulary, combined with sporadic cases of proper usage.
