One of my great heroes, comedian Sid Caesar, once said that cursing is mostly for people who lack the intelligence/skill to find a better word. Since I have taught school for 20 years, I've found that he's right in my case. Whenever I'm in front of students, no matter what their age, I am always able to think fast enough to come up with non-profane language. My profanity usually comes out only when I am alone and it doesn't matter.
