I remember freely cursing with friends probably starting at 3rd grade or so. Just curious about everyone else’s experiences or if that was even a thing for some of y’all.

    I still don’t curse, really. I started talking about ‘inappropriate’ topics probably in around year 9 though.

      No need for swearing when there are so many other instersting and underutilized words in our language to use.

        Necessity isn’t (shouldn’t be) what drives profanity. Overuse of any word, swearing or otherwise, becomes dull to read or hear; but eloquence occurs when we utilize the full potential of our verbal toolbox - which occasionally means reaching for the fucking hammer!
