I feel like, if you cuss so much to anyone it has no effect. [...] Dropping bad words is a bad habit to start and may not possibly end. If you get too adjusted to the words, they just pop out sometimes. Even to the most simple things, a cuss word may leak out because those are your usual "describing" words.Those bad words may even become compliments because everyone uses them to describe bad things, unique things, and crazy things.I agree with Vic when he states that people eventually become immune to cuss words after hearing the phrases being directed towards them or used to describe someone or something else after certain periods of time. People begin to adapt and they may even pick up and begin using these words.
It is also true that cussing would eventually become a bad habit (personally, I have a habit of using such words everyday and I do not plan to stop using them anytime soon). In fact, people can think of it as a habit worse than smoking and getting addicted to alcohol, marijuana, pot, etc because people can be restricted from these additions by not allowing them to get near whatever the individuals are addicted to but no one can restrict people from using cuss words - people can still think cuss words even if they cannot or do not speak them aloud. This is because words are part of human society; they are a part of communication - a way to express ourselves.
Because I believe that cussing is a form of expressing, I do not think of cuss words as "bad" words. Let's say that everyone took a test yesterday and the teacher is handing back the test today. Someone looks and the grade he or she got and says "f*ck," or "sh*t." How different would it be if that person substituted those words with "jeez" or whatever word they might use that they do not consider as cuss words? Would the word they use be considered as cussing? Or is cussing limited to certain words? What is cussing? Is cussing really even that bad?
