    Imagine if adults actually used immature language, like instead of telling someone to fuck off, they would say "nana doodoo stick your head in poopoo". Civilization would be a very different place.

      Would children use adult language instead? Imagine a 6 year saying: " Bloody hell, fuck off mate. You scream more than my aunt Lisa."

        "Timmy you're being a stupid head, go to your room."

        "FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!!!!"

        "You're such a meanie face!"

        "YOU'RE A BITCH!"

        "I know you are but what am I?!"

          That would actually make a pretty good comedy sketch.

        Actually, they do if you think about it. It's just that "Fuck you" isn't REALLY offensive and "nana doodoo stick your head in poopoo" is the most offensive thing you could ever say. [In SOME alternate universe at least]

          That's the kind of thing that a writing prompt tribe would handle very well. XD

    Some countries/cultures don't even see it as adult language, it's just another word and if it's used, well there's no fuss made about it really. I think it's mostly english speaking cultures that demonize words and make them "bad words".

    I think it's seen as immature depending on it's use. If someone is comically overusing cursing (Say, anytime you listen to voice chat in an online shooter) then yeah, immature. If used sparingly and thoughtfully, it can come off as an underscore of sentiment.

    tldr; All things in moderation.

    The best meeting I ever attended ended on this exact quote: "Fuck the fucking fuckers."
