OK. That makes more sense. I was referring to your finely worded cuss being
an art form.
Familiarity , however, does breed contempt . Judicious use is essential.

It sounds like you're agreeing with what I
said ?
Nope, the exact opposite.
You said:
"the school that believes that swearing is an art form ( not ark B ) and
if it is used indiscriminately it loses it's impact."
My point was that the act of swearing, whether in amounts copious or
meager, has no more effect on its impact than does a bad copy of the Mona
Lisa on the art of painting.
