    Because swearing was strictly forbidden in my household and i picked it up in late high school and early college partially as an act of defiance.

    I made friends also more interested in content and quality of thought than on politeness and that was dope AF.

    Now it’s part of my lexicon, just a casual turn of phrase.

    “Ay yo, that shit is fire” conveys the same sentiment as “Wow! That’s really cool.”

    I’m a mechanical engineer and a writer. Words are words. They have meanings and those meanings change over time and with context/audience.

    People who don’t ever swear feel repressed to me. It’s a weird vibe. Not a fan.
