Why are some words untouchable and become deeply taboo and way more than other swear words? What is your favorite Swear Word? Are humans the only species that swears?

Swearing isn’t something that I’m particular fond about hearing or enjoying, but I can certainly appreciate the moments where and when it’s used correctly never in derogatory class demeaning terms.
That said, the true Gem is when you get past talking about swearing and snuck in some key points around building a network of true best friends where super intimate vulnerable connections can happen.
Almost did thou persuadest me to start my own inner-community circle outside my religious network. Acts 26:28
I swear but I’m tired of the “F” word because it’s over used. So for that reason I don’t use it anymore… at least for now, unless I smash my thumb with a hammer. It needs to be parsed out a little better. It’s also used as a filler word sometimes, which bugs me, like saying “uh” in between every other word. I also hate it when Mormons feel free by cussing but that’s something I need to just let go. One last thing, studies on if smarter or dummer people cuss more is pretty stupid.
I’d never tolerate anyone cursing.
shit, thats too bad
