All my life since I was a kid my parents would always tell me not to swear. Not directly but I knew if they found out I was swearing they'd be mad. Same at school, so I never swore. Even when I was growing up I'd hear kids swearing 24/7 but I never imitated them, I just left it to them. By then when I hit highschool I started swearing maybe once or twice a day, and even those times it felt very weird on the tongue. So I stopped by grade 10. From then on I started using euphemisms as a joke like frick instead of F**k and Shaïte (pronounced shite, me and one of my close friends made up that word and decided to spell it like that for fun, he doesn't swear either) instead of sh*t. I never use the b word and decided not to find a replacement for it.
Eventually I started using the euphemisms regularly and it stopped being a joke. People think I'm being childish or just joking around when I say "oh so he fricked her?" or "wow you're shaïte at this game". And they never believe me when I say I just don't swear. I do have an exception though, maybe once in a blue moon I'd type it out and 80% of the times I'd censor it. It just doesn't feel weird when I type it.
Same with slang, I rarely use it but do type it as a joke for the sake of irony. I generally talk formally. You guys do the same?
