Growing up my parents were super strict about swear words or even slag such as "darn". I learned not to speak with them and it actually feels strange to swear most of the time. Last time I went out with a friend of mine and had a few drinks, when we got home she was teasing me and bugging me. I was feeling a little groggy and irritated with her and told her to "shut the f*k up". She was surprised by it because I never say anything like that. Even in my tipsy state I took notice and didn't forget what I'd said. Swearing, in my opinion, is a learned habit. I love words and word etymology so I like searching for new words that I can use at times of frustration. I don't end up slipping around the kids that I have here constantly and I don't offend the parents or those kids. Just safer to watch my language constantly.
