Foul Language

When a person uses foul languages or those swear words, lets say the "f" word, does that means the person is rude, uncivilized, impolite and etc? Lets take an example :
"oh f**k, i don't have small change. Please hold on while i call my husband?"
So, in this case, is this person insulting someone? or is she being rude?

Every language has its own foul words, and I guess everyone noticed that without the need for me to give any examples of those I know. In our daily life, those words are heard everywhere: in the streets, in movies and sometimes in the newspaper too or even from the mouth of a children. Do you ever wonder why such words are created or by who? Some claim that it has became their culture to use those words, just like the Chinese in SEA using words such as 'la', 'loh', and 'aiyo' where they find it extremely normal to use such words.

As human, I'm sure that after being exposed so much to this, one opt to use these words unconsciously. Although most of the time one can control himself from saying such words, but there are times in life where some unforeseeable situation happens, and hence the so called "art of speech" will just pop out from nowhere.

So, its foul language or just figure of speech? Its all up to you to decide, but still, think twice before using such language as not all people are used to it and they find it offensive. Hatred and aversion often born from misunderstanding and, to avoid is better than to cure.
