The Importance of Swearing
When I was younger, profanity to me was something that you just don't do. Because of my vocabulary, I have a larger vocabulary. It gives me the flexibility to play with words - which is something I learned from my uncle. Profanity are words that society has decided to add meaning to. Which inflate its impact. All I can do is add tonality, which means I can choose to swear all the time. But then the social impact decreases if people know me. So I don't use them. Then when I do use them, suddenly it's a, oh my god, did you just say what I think you said? And it actually makes a social impact.
