I can tell you in all honesty that 90 percent of the people I know curse on the daily, which includes everyone from ages 14 to 75. I honestly don’t think I’ve gone one day in the last decade without being in or hearing a conversation with swear words. Even in professional work environments, shit, goddammit, bitch, or even the occasionalfuck slide in, once everyone gets used to working with each other.

So tell me why we get reprimanded by teachers and by elders, who then turn around and swear an hour later after they leave the place they yelled at you for swearing in. I mean at this point, it’s instinctual to respond with swear words in our sentences when in pain, disbelief, and even excited. It’s also been proven by many, many sources that swearing actually relieves pain. In addition, psych studies suggest people who swear are usually more honest and trustworthy (check me). Oh yea, and they're also better at articulating sentences and have bigger vocabularies (doubt me?) So why should I feel bad when in casual conversation with a friend I call him an asshole in public, or if I refer to Hitler as an arrogant dick in class discussion? Why is that such an outrageous view in this day and age?

Donald Trump can say "grab them by the pussy" and still get elected President of the United States, but I can’t use swear words in descriptions of my friends in public, or in class settings describing history’s worst leaders and criminals. Don’t get me wrong. I can see how swearing around small children and toddlers seems just wrong in a way, but I mean, come on, we all have that one uncle that never learned what a filter is, who we first learned these swear words from.

Plus, if you’re in public school, by the time you’re in seventh grade, you start to hear swearing on a daily basis.

So how about after we hit high school, we stop telling kids swearing is wrong. It’s a natural part of life that is just as unavoidable as burping. Now I’m not saying we should just start throwing every terrible word we can think of all the time, but if it happens in the natural progression of a conversation, let it slide.

You feel me, motherfuckers?
