I kinda like a couple of the explanations already offered.

Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind trying to expresses itself forcibly.
In my opinion, that's certainly the case when people throw swear words into a conversation every other word like Rick jokingly did in post #6 above. But there are times when a swear word is just the most satisfying thing to say. Like for example: You're having a bad day, you're WAY behind in your work. You're typing up a long essay, or some other long document, and about 80% into it, the power goes out and you lose the entire thing. You will have to start all over again. F***!!!

Now I wanna f***in know who`s the a**hole thatcame up with this sh**-a** f***in topic. (Just kidding)

while you're at it Cort, find out why we say "cuss" instead of what they actually are, curse words!

its not cussing, its cursing.

in 1815 there was a book called a Yankee in England, and it started using the word Cuss instead of Curse. Then Mark Twain picked it up because it didn't sound as bad.

and now everyone says it, because it's easier.

damn southerners.
