Yes but using any word as every other word in your sentence might make you sound like you have mental problems.
"I meat went meat to meat the meat store meat for meat some meat meat meat."
I frankly find it hard to understand why rational people have such an adverse reaction to words.
When people speak in ways that you don't understand do you always think they are stupid? What about people who speak in other languages? Just because someone is presenting an argument to me in Farsi, I don't think he/she is stupid. In fact, I would do well to consider my own limitations at not being able to understand.
It might be easier to understand this in the context of other languages. In some you'll see that they employ different pronouns for formal and informal usage. You becomes Du (informal) or Sie (formal) in German for example. We don't make such distinctions in English, but if we were I'm sure you would not see people using expletives in the formal case (unless a person was really trying to make a point, like "You are an asshole, sir!")
Accents, affectations, regional differences, and informal language are not signs of stupidity, but rather of social context. The next time someone uses "fuck" in a conversation you are a party to, instead of being offended perhaps you should be happy that the person is comfortable enough around you to use such language.
