Swearing

Swearing ... it isn't big, it isn't clever. It's immature. But isn't that a puzzling way of putting it? Swearing is something adults do, after all, to a much greater degree than children; we might say it is precisely mature, if deplorable. After all, much swearing refers to sexual activities that are by definition adult, not childish.
