I will concede to the point that it's a sort of non-word.
But I think if anything that helped my case that people who use that sound like idiots. And seriously, I never had a case. I wasn't trying to convince anyone else. I just started that's my personal opinion.

I was never exposed to it as a young kid so it never became a habit. When I got older and did start getting exposed to it, I went full on hardcore to the point that I came around in a circle and wasn't hardcore anymore: basically the kids at school started swearing because it was edgy and different, so I didn't swear because it was edgy and different compared to them.
So to this day I don't swear very often. I've got a boatload of fun replacement swearwords that I use, though.
That was your first mistake.I just started that's my personal opinion.
Hell is not a curse as far as I'm concerned.
It's a place!
It's mostly contained to while I'm driving!
I once told my dad that I used the c word on Facebook. He got mad. I told him I call them as I see them. I got even angrier with me. He also tired to tell me it's like the n word for women, and that's why I shouldn't use it. I totally disagreed with that. Sure, it's offensive, but there is no way it carries the same weight as the n word.
They're both offensive in their own ways and should not be weighed against eachother.
Crap, this is getting into EOEO territory! Eject! EJE-- *explodes*
Ya won't like me then ya judgemental presumptious wee pish flap.
Words are just words, swearing or otherwise. They're not really that powerful unless you give them that power. They don't define anyone. You presume too much about a mans character when hearing the 'bad' ones. I swear all the time with mo cara's but im not completely without self awareness I can reign it in at funerals.

They need to make some product named "Hell." Like flowers, or chocolate! And then when you say, "Give 'em Hell!" or "Go to Hell!" it's something nice.
In public I am polite. In private I will make a sailor blush and run to his mama.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I never understood people who make a big deal about swearing, whether they refuse to swear or refuse to use euphemisms. I knew a girl in high school who hated when people said "crap" instead of "trout," arguing that swearing shouldn't be a big deal. I agreed entirely with the latter part, but if swears are "just words," then they shouldn't be considered any different from common euphemisms, right?
Then again, I have no idea why anyone places any special meaning behind any swear words at all. I swear because I grew up around people swearing, so that's the sort of language that comes without thinking about it. It boggles my mind that people are offended by the use of words, though people do make themselves offended over the silliest things.
