I don't have a problem with swearing, as long as it is in context.

If some guy has just cut you off on the road almost causing an accident, you can swear at them, being inside your car you are unlikely to cause any offense anyway, but it will reduce the pain of having to swerve.

If you have just hit your thumb with a hammer...swear your head off! If there are little kids around though, show some control. If there are teenagers around, I am sure they will offer some better adjectival phrases...and laugh at you.

If your mum has given you something for dinner you don't like, kindly tell her so, but if you swear, don't expect to get anything different.
