I use alot of profanity. My P-Doc says it has to do with high intelligence. He told me people who use profanity frequently are more intlligent. Its usally because I use it to discriminate when im being serious and when im not. If i am mentoring or teach (adults) I use it for humor because I find it helps make complex things sticks. But to answer your question? No. I think it is a cviliized and nonconfrontational. But I do know when to shut it off and not to use it.
