Swear words are slang......MOST people use them.. I think the people who use them to look "cool" are teenagers really.. when you pick up the words when starting secondary school and that!

A minority use f uck in like every sentence.. or when being crude and talking about.. well.. sex and sh!t.

Swear words are good to use to express yourself.. or talking about stuff.. well really to be honest they just come out... like a burb or fart! lol

18 is not an adult, it may be if you tiresomely want to be legalistic but until you have children and own a house i would suggest you have a bit to go.

(it would make a good thread)

People do swear for effect of course, just like they make hand gestures for effect, doesn't mean they do it "to be cool"

It has nothing to do with having kids. Being an adult means you are fully grown.

for extra emphasis, that's why I do it anyhow. Like if something not pleasing happens, I might say "Oh for *****s sake!" I could say "Oh Darn it" but this would be a very alien phrase for me to use, just purely because of what language I've always been exposed to.

and in answer to your second point, alot of times when I swear I'm on my own in the car, so my swearing certainly isn't for anyone elses benefit

Why do most people sing the swear word in a song slightly louder than the other words!
