In fairness to fusnik, I believe he was paraphrasing something that surfa33 had sad in a previous post. I have no problem with salty language. Take the word "asshole", for example. What other word conveys the same meaning and nuance as the word asshole? If you come up with something, let me know.
I'm not sure why this site occasionally brings out the more colorful side of people, but I do know that the language you use depends a lot on the people with whom you surround yourself. For example, if I'm golfing with my brother and I hit a ball out of bounds, I'll probably say "Oh shit!". If I'm with my dad, it'll probably be "Oh crap!". But if I'm by myself I'm more likely to use the colloquial form of "maternal copulator". I don't have to tell you which is the most cathartic.
