I worked for a Monsignor who pointed out that OMG and oh my goodness is taking the lord's name in vane. Because God understands technicalities.
Edit*** I also used fother mucker through most of high school and got teachers to start... Then stop because I didn't actually say anything.
I don't necessarily disagree, I just think it's pretty funny that you used "AF" as a replacement for saying "as fuck". >

I do that all the time…lmao! >

Acronyms save time >

Can’t get sent to hr or fired for saying fake curse words. >

I agree, but have to respond with a related unpopular opinion: people shouldn’t refer to naughty words as cuss words…they are curse words.  Calling them cuss words comes off like you are writing with a thick southern accent. >

I've yet to hear an explanation as to why curse words are bad that doesn't sound like a version of "Because I said so." >

Yep. Ultimately anti-swearing sentiment is just a product of toxic respectability politics. >

Depends on how you are replacing them. Penn & Teller did a great episode of Bullshit on this topic. 
As for me, if you are going to try and hide it at least make it hard to know what you said. Things like sh*t just annoys me. >

Oh I agree. Either learn not to swear/use the exclamations. Or just say the word. Replacing fuck with fetch is particularly bad. But My least favorite is people replacing asshole with butthole. Asshole makes me think of a rude person. Butthole makes me think of an anus. >

Ye but I cuss with my friends and I never swear around family or people from our church that know my parents >

the intention is there either way >

That’s exactly my point. >

"No shot" instead of no shit/oh shit has become a popular form of slang. I find it cringy af >

Dayum! I’ve never heard that one…lmao! >

Ehhh, no. There's varying levels of curse. It's like saying a slap is the same as a punch. >

They’re both armed assault >

Well no shit. Thanks for the insight. And its only assault, not armed. Armed is when you use a weapon. If you can't note the difference between a slap and a punch, then.. idk, m8. >

Maybe if you were talking about kicking it would be legged assault but this is definitely armed >

A grown ass man or woman can swear for emphasis and strategically to great effect. 
Over-using it is crass and low effort though. >

Well, I’m definitely guilty of overusing it especially online. I think it’s because it feels like freedom for the first time in my life in terms of not restricting what I say. I have learned that context is everything. >

Resist the urge to be the college freshman (or high school freshman) with a potty mouth. 
He/she who never swears but drops an F bomb will captivate any room when doing so when the word is necessary.
