Growing up in a religious household, swearing was not allowed. As an adult, I still rarely swore but now that I'm older, I like to swear! I don't know why?? LOL. I try to be respectful to others, but if I think the company I'm keeping won't be offended, I don't hold back.

I love that show. It's very funny with a lot fo unexpected twists Can't wait until season 2.

As for foul language. I seldom use it. When i do it is to make a point or just used for emphasis. If a person uses foul language every sentence, then it loses all meaning... and it also hampers good communication.

There a time and place for everything and sometimes nothing else make an impression. We know pretty much if people don’t swear and I don’t swear around them. On the other hand I hate people that continually make a federal case out of a book or a movie that has a f*** in it. Don’t go to the movie or don’t read the book. My wife is a librarian and there are quite a few folks that come to her demanding that books be removed from the shelves because of language or content. After being raised very religiously and then leaving being able to use a few appropriate swear word was a hell of a lot of fun and a load off my shoulders.

Southern ladies,just say.. How nice for you .

I'm kind of stuck on, Whoa!, Geeze!, Damnit gets me in trouble with my wife.

Swearing is not a problem in my opinion, it's all about context. If I'm playing a competitive game with a friend and they get an easy kill or something like that and I say in jest "You can go eff yourself." or something similar no one is offended, we laugh and continue to enjoy each others company. Then there's people like my step grandmother who despises cursing in all forms but has no problem making sideways comments, in public, about things like other ethnicities, interracial couples, or unconventional couples. I can't visit my parents without having to hear her comment about Jim Parsons every night when my father watches Big Bang Theory. But if I stub my toe in her presence and curse at the ether she acts like it's the end of the world.

Words don't possess any particular power themselves. We assign their significance. Personally, I am not offended by swearing. However, others might be. To be free with swearing risks some judgement and possible consequences from others.

That said, such language has its place. Certain words can lose their punch when over used (will we need a new F-bomb soon?). I prefer to conserve them for certain inevitable future opportunities.

Also, I find a lack of creativity, and possibly even intelligence, in the overly frequent use of swearing.

I use ‘foul language’ very often. It’s not foul to me, it’s descriptive. It offends me when people tell me not to speak a certain way. People who purposefully use big words to intimidate, are more offensive in my book. I understand them, but the average person does not.

I have used up my quota of foul language, maybe even gone over, at the fact that Season One of the Good Place isn't available as free on demand or even on Hulu+ or anything. We caught the first 2 or 3 episodes of S1 when it was still on demand and then it went away. Foul language made me feel better.

On the other hand, as a bicycle commuter, I'm frequently hooked or cut-across by cars; even when there is a "Left Turn Yield to Bicycles" sign. I generally attempt driver education in these cases; in the past, cussing up a storm. Being in Manhattan, the bikes are faster than the cars and I can generally catch up to the offender if I want to expend the time. I found that that didn't do much, so I switched to "Sir (or Madam), are you aware that Section 4, paragraph 12, item requires you to... whatever it is the driver didn't do. Works better than cursing.

Gratuitous obscenity bothers. One can accomplish the same thing with a good "damn" or "hell".
