To people who choose not to swear (for non-religious reasons), what is your motivation to be that way ? (lemm.ee)

When used sparingly, a concisely uttered tactical fuck can he used to lay waste to your enemies and their entire extended family.

But, like, if you fucking just use it all the fucking time to punctuate your words without any fucking rhyme or reason, people will just think you've got nothing to actually fucking say.

Besides, one can just use the word "very"

This is it right here. Concerningly large swaths of people talk about swearing like this distinction--which is the whole discussion--doesn't exist.
