While I agree that swear words are incredibly versatile, that is in fact what the problem of such words. They have so many meanings that it gives people a sense of security when they don't know how to describe a situation. It shows someone's ignorance out-right when they swear excessively.

Oh yeah, and dorby: You're not funny, and your trolling is horrible.
