You should get ony the words you like but I love those you referenced when used correctly. They are old words with a rich history. It sounds silly to say that but it’s true.
Those other words are clinical to my ears or else they were meant to be euphemisms and soften the meaning. Makes me feel like people are afraid to say what they mean.
I also like the eff word.
I’m only commenting because I find our differences interesting and not because one is right and one is wrong. Just different. 😊
I suspect the differences in word usage here may be cultural. To each their own.

Interesting discussion about the use of swear words, especially the F & C words. I used to swear a lot but consciously have virtually stopped using them. I don’t feel the need to swear.2

Maybe. But it may be that I’m an oddball. You’re not the only person who hates those words. 😊0 -

Context is everything. No one NEEDS to swear.

More of a phrase,
“After all I’ve done for you”
If you did something for me,
that was your choice.1 -

I hate the way a lot of Americans say "xxx is really addicting."
Addictive! It's really addictive!!
Fur baby.
No, the animal is an adult.
Pacific is an ocean. Why is it so hard to say specific?

Swearing is perfectly acceptable if done in the correct accent. Received pronunciation only. Think Four Weddings and a Funeral.0 -

Sometimes it takes everything I have to not freak out
Is she from Maryland, Pennsylvania, or Delaware? A lot of infuriating pronunciations coming out of that mid-Atlantic area (I'm allowed to say that... I'm an ex-Balti-moron).
I'm a current Balti-moron
She grew up in Vermont then Florida, been in VA her whole adult life. I never hear anyone else say that?
Pennsylvania here and have never heard that before either!1 -
Oh I hate the words baby daddy and baby mama 😬🤮1
