Why do you personally as applicable speak with profane language?

Why don't you or intermittently do so?

What is the purpose, particularly a constructive one if that?

What does it gain you, do for you?

I must use bad words to corrupt those around me. Imagine if I was kind and nice. What would I achieve?

He won’t admit he has a limited vocabulary.

It's the aggressive side of my brain. 90-95% of the time it's because I'm angry. When I get angry, I have almost no sense of proportionality and will say and imagine some truly insane things. Whipping out the crudest items in my vocabulary is par for the course when I'm in that mindset.
But on rare occasion, some mild profanity will come through as part of my edgy sense of humor, which chiefly revolves around the scenario where a wimpy fat dude (i.e. Hank from Breaking Bad) is howling like a monkey with pleasure because he's getting railed in the butthole. I basically tell myself the same joke over and over and over again, because to me it just doesn't get old.

Words symbolise thought and emotion.

Like fucking intonation, cadence, timbre etc



Did you ever get the Irish sitcom Father Ted?

They just replaced the U with an E.

Which made all the fecking difference.

The interpretation of sounds and symbols relative to expectation

You achieve what you will to by what you particularly do to get that achievement.

Oh why do you use profanity?

Do you actually know why?

Don't just follow the crowd.

Kinda hard to be nice when I am angry all the time and just want to ruin everything.

I told you these people get butt hurt because I don't back down. None of these folks will meet me on discord. With the exception of Savant.

They have a lot of talk and because they can't explain their idle word usage, they try to shift the burden.

Because I can, and it's useful sometimes. Why use adjectives? or nouns? or swear words? Because they all have a unique way of getting your point across and they all have their appropriate uses.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't use profanity sometimes. The only time I use profanity is when I have to talk to willfully stupid people or to get a point across that people aren't taking seriously or aren't listening. Or I may swear just for the fucking hell of it.

I often utilise expressions and words that are defined as being profanities.

Especially If I want to emphasise a point, or consternate when things don't go as planned.

Oh circular reasoning. Just think about it a while and figure why you personally see the need for using idle profane language and why you don't use it such as in your debates and your last comment.

So you use profanity to emphasize a point you're trying to make is that right?

What does trust have to do with profanity?

Do you think someone that uses profanity will not cross you double cross you back stab you?

So far there's been no demonstration for the necessity. I'm asking you guys for that and because you can't, you flip the script/shift the onus .

It is true it shows the limitations of vocabulary with the use of profanity.

What does psychology say about people who curse a lot?
Your use of profanity can be a good indicator of your overall stress level and mood. Swearing at others in an argument can be irreversibly harmful. Too much cursing at yourself can create negative self-talk and contribute to your poor self-image.

Interesting, I just realized that the word "consternate" makes me want to use profanity.

It’s called a trigger.
