"The problem with profanity is not the obscene nature of the words. The true danger lies in two areas: meaning and usage. Profane words do not have 'set' meanings. They vary, which directly affects usage: the words become omnifarious, taking the place of any word you can think of. And when a word can be used in any way, it takes away from the possibility of learning the appropriate word, leaving the user ignorant."
-A. Lewis
