cmv: Profanity Has Lost Its Power

`cmv:  Profanity has lost its power.`

Profanity has become mainstream, resulting in its loss of power.  Otherwise polite people speak and write with irreverence, frequently modifying nouns and verbs with the f-word.  Laughing, my neighbor recounted that her boyfriend's car needs to be repaired again:   
"I f-ing cannot believe his f-ing car would not f-ing start!"  It isn't that I am offended by the f-word so much as that I am aware of the loss of the power of its employment.  People vomit out the f-word so often that it has become a normal word in the lexicon, instead of an extreme and dangerous word.  

Profanity's status was once reserved for special occasions.  "Sucks" has become a socially acceptable description for unpleasant experiences to be endured.  "Shit" is the word uttered when a situation takes an unexpected turn.  I read that "shit" is the word most often spoken by new EMTs upon initially viewing the injuries in a car wreck.  The victim of the car wreck immediately realizes the injuries he sustained are serious, and he panics.  Adding an animal name to the shit, "dogshit, moneyshit, etc., makes it funnier, it seems.

On social media and tv a guy refers to his girlfriend "affectionately" using profanity.  What happened to sweet poetry and love notes?  The girlfriend seems to enjoy, or at least accept, such disrespect.  

We are a degrading society too lazy to use polite descriptive language.  Instead, we allow and/or use profanity to the point that it is no longer powerful or shocking.

The power of profanity all comes down to the context it's said in. Increasingly, society has become more relaxed towards the casual use of words like shit and fuck. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some words that are more shocking today than before. Many racial slurs against minorities and LGBT that were normal in the past are now extremely bad and powerful today. Kinda like how an abundance of old people will say words like "oriental or f\*g" without any understanding of their power in today's society, as it was normal in the general public in the past. It's simply society adapting our collective mindset towards what words are worse in which contexts in relation to global, domestic, and current events. It's simple linguistic evolution. But that doesn't mean that profanity as a whole has lost its power.
