the more we use extreme words, the less they mean. Overuse devalues the expressed emotions and then we have to create even more extreme words to describe the same emotion as few years/decades ago. I'm okay using swear words, but I'm using them less and less the older I get. Also, I respect less and less people who are enable to express complex ideas or feelings with precise words and reduce them to "shit" and "fuck". In such situations, swear words are doing more to conceal rather than express and it is really hard to relate to what the other person is saying.
