Whenever I see these "this generation does such-and-such" article, I have to wonder if it's really a generational thing or just an age thing. Do 20-something millenials really swear more than 20-something Gen-Xers or 20-something baby boomers did? I think probably not, but maybe people just tend to swear less as they get older.

#12Has it ever been otherwise? I am sure when snake people have kids they'll be the most likely to swear and so on.

#13Maybe it's just me, but I don't give two shits about swear words. They are the same as other words to me and have almost no negative connotation. I don't think twice about swearing at work, and neither do the other people my age (24) that I work with.

#15I dunno, the old French guy at our office swears like a sailor, most of the younger peeps are quite tame in comparison.

I think it's about the attitude it fosters and enables. It enables and fosters 'bro' culture and 'bachellorette' culture. And that can lead to people thinking it's okay to refer to others as bitches and duchebags etc.

Swearing is fucking lazy. Fuckig thing adds bloody nothing to damn sentences. No fucking value.
Observe.

Caveat: swearing used strategically can be fucking beautiful.

There's a difference. I swear profusely at work, but never at people.

Careful with that slippery slope! I curse profusely and I think referring to people as bitches is 100% unacceptable. I think there's room for respectful swearing. Swear about ideas, don't swear about people.
