We are quite fond of it's versatile punctuations here as well 
Here's a thought, why is it not such a big thing to say, that doing something we find boring is torture, that a meal was horrendous, that we could murder a cuppa, that a team were diabolical, that *florida this time of year is like hell on earth, but **** which is essentially a word used to describe an expression of, at worst pleasure and at best love, is completely taboo.
Not hating on *florida, watching CSI miami and it came to mind

I believe the most important word in any language is :no:.

I was largely ripping him off, if I could find a transcript of the interview I would quote him, though, because he says everything better than everyone else.

Swearing has been proven to mitigate physical pain. Experiments have been done where people were willingly subjected to controlled pain, and some were permitted to swear, while others were not. The neurotransactions associated with sensing pain dropped in those who were permitted to swear just at the point when they actually did swear.
Also, there have been cases where people have had damage to the Broca's area of the brain, so they loose the ability to speak, but they can still swear as much as they want. They understand people speaking to them, and they can converse by writing back, but the only words they can utter are swear words.
Swearing had an evolutionary advantage and that's why it's so prevalent. We are wired up through evolution to have potty mouths. It's actually unnatural to refrain from cursing all of the time. Oh, and if you curse too often, the pain mitigation effect is lost. It only works if you swear when you need it the most.

I think it's the most controversial word in American Language.
