Does this explain that need?

LOL, probably not.

After serving for 22 years in the USN, I used plenty of profanity every day. I'm pretty sure I considered it normal and acceptable at the time. Sometimes, when you're trying to make a point, nothing else quite does the job as well. 🙂

Times have changed. The TV series Veep, for example, would not have been broadcast, as is, in the C20th.

Anything racier than 'fiddlesticks and balderdash' and some bozo is going to alert it.
