I really don't understand why anyone cares about swearing. If people didn't give it so much of a stigma, it would be meaningless. There's no inherent offensive property to the sequence of syllables that make up the word "mothersmurfer." People are offended by it because they choose to be.

Like, I really don't care, but it's kind of cute.
I usually apologize when I swear in front of a woman I don't know, just to be polite. Southern manners and all.
