Sometimes I think about using swear words in my writing as a way of shocking/ creating a certain impression, but then I usually decide against it because I think - no, let me express what it is that I want to say....let me use language to create the effect I want. That's always better. That's always more powerful, more real, more expressive, more valuable.
A word that you can chuck anywhere in a sentence, and doesn't hold any meaning of its own, isn't a powerful word.
I could use a swear word in this post....that would be ironic and funny.....but no it wouldn't. Not really.
