I understand why people do it, but overuse reduces the efficacy. It's one of the reasons I limit cursing. If someone hears me curse, I'm either making a joke, or emphasising the seriousness of the situation. Context will clue the person in as to which use I intend.
Then there is me working on a car. I've got the vocabulary of a sailor when working on a vehicle. Probably should clean up my shop language.
