There are two kinds of "swear" words. The first, such as "damn" and "Hell" and "for Christ's sake" are religious invocations to the deity, appropriate only when used with awe and reverence in awful and reverent circumstances. They are not to be used lightly, in deference to the Commandment against taking the name of the deity "in vain." The others are merely "dirty" words referring to excrement and copulation, properly used only in the barnyard and similar venues. It is the use of these special words merely to express ordinary personal disapproval or anger that is inappropriate in polite company.
