    Wow, who would have thought that people swear?  Language changes rapidly, and words which used to be taboo, are now found even in respectable newspapers, on TV etc.  “Profanity” as you call it, Mansoor, takes many different forms.  Some people use it to make emphasis in their speech, some to insult and abuse others.  Personally, I have heard much worse insults made against peoples’ gender, religion or ethnicity made without a single profanity included.  Remember that many words have different meanings in different languages.  In my country, if one of my friends were to call me a “dirty dog” he is merely commenting on my sexual appetite, (which might be taken as a compliment!).  In many Islamic countries, it would be a terrible insult.
    Among my circle of friends, (mostly British and Australian) profanity is often used on a joking level – the trick is to balance your response well without overdoing it.  It’s a social skill (I have often heard Americans say “Why are you guys so mean to each other?” when we are merely fooling around).
    So try not to be too offended – you don’t have to use that kind of language yourself, but if you study a little more, you will find out how rich and flexible English can be!

    Beautiful analysis pp4d! You are absolutely right. Yes, most of the words have became an integral part of most of the languages around the world. Your point absolutely valid. But what I am trying to say is that when people are exposing themselves as an individual and an honored individual then they should behave the way they want to! For example LinkedIn; I have seen anything like that there just because of seriousness!
