They are just words, and not only that, they are words that date back
several hundred years. It's not like it's a new thing. Fuck goes back
further than the 1700's. Shit is even older.
Every word in the English language is there because it expresses a
thought or emotion. And yes there are a dozen words for each thought and
some are better than others.
All I can think of when someone hits their thumb with a hammer and says
nothing more than "damn", is how repressed they are (and wonder how
repressed they are in other aspects of their life).
Religion, society and culture has tried to make us all Puritans over the
last 100 years. Fuck that. I want to express my self, be free and yes even
fu*ck like a beast.
