The Eleven stages of cursing:
1. Toddler: "Mommy, what does 'fuck' mean? Daddy said it when he-OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! WHAT DID I DO? WAUUUUUUUUGH!"
2. Young Youth: "Those are bad words!"
3. Mid-childhood: “WOOOOAH! You said a naughty word! You're cool!”
4. Teenager: "Nobody cares if I say butt or crap anymore. I'll say Fuck to be edgy!'
5. Late teen: "I don't curse much now, but I write Pokemon fanfiction and have Ash say "fuck" a lot, because that's keeping it REAL.”
6. Young adult: "Fucking asscunts-shitty fuckfags of fucking fuck! That fucking movie is so fuckling assballs shitting-cocknipples-bad it will shitballsfuck your motherfucking fucking fuck! I’m cool, right?"
7. No-Longer-Young-But-Not-Middle-Aged Adult: "I curse casually sometimes without thinking about it, I guess. I dunno, it's not a big deal."
8. Nearly Middle-Aged adult: "Cursing is unprofessional and undignified, and I can't do it in front of my kids, anyway."
9. Middle-aged: "Kids, stop saying Bad Words. You never see me cursing, do you?"
10. Upper Middle-Aged: "Kids these days cuss all the time. No respect for their elders. We never talked like that when we were their age!"
11. Old Man: "Fuckin' fuckers think they're fuckin' gonna fuckin' call me a fuckin' old man and fuckin' haircuts and I hate fuckin' wussy… hey grandson, Imma buy you a fuckin' whore. You need to become a fuckin' MAN!"
Or, alternatively:
1. Pre-4chan: "I don't like naughty words."
2. Post-4chan: "FUCKNIPPLES."

Stages of being drunk:
1. You become the most clever guy in the pub.
2. You're damn attractive and everybody likes you. Anyone who doesn't like you is an @$$HOLE.
3. You're obviously the funniest man in the pub. Everything you say is funny.
4. You're a great singer and/or dancer! In fact, you're so good at it you should probably climb on top of a table and show your skills.
5. If you reached this point, you feel an incredible rush of power and realize you could practically beat EVERYONE in the pub because you're so damn strong.
6. Final stage- If you managed to pass all previous stages you reach the last stage. Now you can do EVERYTHING you want because you're INVISIBLE.

I don't think I curse a whole lot. The most foul word you will probably hear me using on a somewhat regular basis is "pussy".

I'm one of those people who don't like it when I hear other people curse. Things like "dammit" or something I don't mind, but I can't stand when another person uses really obscene swear words. Ironically, I can sometimes really flip out despite being normally pretty calm.
My speciality is swearing with terminal diseases. :)

Hah. I rarely ever curse in real life, mostly because I'm pretty much never around company where it would be appropriate to curse. THus, it sounds unnatural coming from me, so I usually just leave it off.
Now my sister, on the other hand...

Dispite the fact that I'm not much of a swearer either and I'm not all that comfortable or impressed by other people's 'Lack of grasp' on the english language, I do find it interesting that many of our so-called bad words have distant origins and some never even started out as swear words to begin with. Here's a couple:
Ass - Also known as a mule
Bitch - Slang term for a female dog
Fuck - F.U.C.K. - Fornication Under Consent of the King (Note: This is just one origin for this particular word)
Shit - S.H.I.T. - Ship High In Transit.
I have know doubt there are many more with a history like the above, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with.

Isn't Fuck from a Dutch word? Something like "fakke?"

I usually don't swear purposely but in modern languages somehow many swear words have crept up to become a part of everyday speech, in the meantime switching meaning. So as a result I unintentionally use swear words in my speech quite often.
An example for that in English is the term "the shit", meaning something very good, turning the word's original meaning upside down.
In Hebrew, a slang for something awesome is "ben zona" (literally s.o.b). I heard there's a similar interpretation in Spanish for "the puta madre". Israelis VERY often use Arabic words in their everyday speech, and as a result many Israelis think shouting Arabic swear words is not as offensive as using Hebrew ones, so you can see lots of old people swearing in Arabic, shouting things like "Sharmoota" (whore), "Zooby" (dick) and "Inaal Abook" (cursed be your father).
A jew probably won't be offened, but an Arab would be pissed.

I don't curse, because gentlemen do not use foul words. I also dislike it when others curse, especially if they overdo it, but I won't force my ideals on others (even though they're objectively right).
-
What about Fuckingham Palace?
-
That's a very crass song.
-
"Zooby" is the best euphemism ever.
