Taboo and Swearwords

I read a book on English grammar once. there was a chapter on Taboo words and swearwords.
I remember that it gave a new sense to the meaning of the song: "I swear..."
Anyway..
I used to tell my father off, when he swore. I told him there was no use swearing at home, because that had not been the way to impress me. And it hadn't work either.
I could not understand the reason for an adult and responsible person to behave like a spoilt child.
I'm (quite) adult now. I go to work. I am not my own boss.. yet.
I'm having a boss.. and her husband (?) - "the boss".
Boss is quite reasonable... "the boss" wastes my time and vital forces...
I want to swear...
I do understand You now Dad..
