F*** and s**t: ever get conflicted ?

I know the words fuck and shit are not inherently bad. However, I think most of us know from growing up, they were not regarded as "polite company" words. At least not in my family.

Anyone else ever still feel conflicted about typing or saying those words ? Trivial first world problem, I know

makes it incredibly difficult to comment on anything Twitler and his minions do so I find myself just not commenting.

but it's quite satisfying to have them in my vocabulary when needed.

And no, I've never been in a situation where I was conflicted as to which activity was most appropriate...

It is not blasphemy unless you use sacred names. Which is why, in the 1660's they wrote G-dd-n and J-s-s and "she fucks herself with a shitty dildo"

I mostly only say s***! if I stub my toe or bang an elbow.
I was over 35 before I ever said the fuck-word..I made up for lost time during the *years. During the Obama years, I seldom said the fuck-word.That was nice. 💖 I have been saying the fuck-word ALOT since November.
I'm conflicted, but God knows I cuss, and He's ok with it.
I believe sometimes God cries & cusses, too.
