Well, there's always the art of "getting crap past the radar".

Nothing has likely burgeoned the nomenclature of the English vernacular more than the incessant hankering for (ostensibly) courteous euphemisms to divulge uncouth, scatological and churlish derisions of the most irreverent, ribald and venal import.

It's uncool, makes you sound unintelligent, and when someone curses all the time, I often think they have anger issues and can't think of other ways to talk without swearing.

I think I curse a little too much for my own taste. Curse words can become fillers words like “uhh” or “uhmm”.

Honestly though, sometimes all you can manage to say in a conversation is “F*ck” and your message will get across.
