FWIW ( probably not much ) I am a dog trainer, a profession that tends to
highly respect artful use of profanity. I can put together some pretty
impressive strings of it, if I do say so myself.

I don't think such language should be entirely avoided, rather I think it's
real value is undermined by it's overuse .... much like the use of single
word insults, any real impact lies in the rarity of usage, not in the
predictability.
