I hate people who say things like "you young people need to stop swearing so much, you're not impressing anyone." I am wearing knackered cargoes, a t-shirt with more holes than you've had hot dinners, and only just moved out of shoes that have been worn so long, they were nought but thing rubber and cloth held together by a shoe-lace. Do you honestly think I'm trying to impress you? I'll swear because I want to swear:- because there's been some predicament or happening of circumstance that warrants my emotion, be it through anger, confusion, enjoyment, etc. and I feel the need to express that emotion. Sometimes, there isn't even a normal word for something without sounding like a 5 year old for things - when I go to the toilet, I don't take a poo, I take a crap or a shit. Sometimes swearing is merely used to colour language in the same way that eloquence or intricate language use is. Where would poetry or storytelling be if we all stuck solely to simplified standard English?

Fucking idiots ...
