Stephen Fry makes some good points on this, firstly that while we use the most terrible words like kill, torture, agony, etc, quite casually, even to refer to queueing or traffic, yet to use simple slang that means you shared the act of lovemaking with someone special, you're the most offensive person on the earth.

Also that it's not 'necessary', ovens aren't necessary, you could live in a tree on raw food, but ovens and houses sure make life more enjoyable.

Then that swearing is a sign of a low vocabulary, an accusation coming from someone who wants to limit everybody's vocabulary.

Honestly, what a bunch of C- oh yeah, I can't say that :)
