People That Swear Make Better Friends & Are More Intelligent
There are some phrases in Spanish that I’m particularly fond of:
Me cago en Dios/la cruz/la leche/ta puta madre. (I s**t on God/the cross/milk/your…mother.)
¡Hostia! - Hostia literally means, “host”, as in the body of Christ, or the wafers given out during Holy Communion. It’s used in a similar way as “What the hell?!”
¡Que te folle un pez! - similar to “f**k off” but with a fish
Cojones = testicles. There are lots of phrases involving cojones.
Estoy hasta los cojones – “I’ve had it up to here.”
¡No seas gilipollas! - don’t be an as*hole. Gilipollas is a fun word to say.
¡Vete a freír espárragos! - Go fry asparagus! Used in the same way as f**k off.

i know my oldest brother, who never even raises his voice much less ever swears even weak things like golly or heck or darn, is somewhat more intelligent than i am. i have the same basic swear directed at whatever $#!+ life throws at me, is GDedMFingSOBing$h!++y@$$edBEECH!! ! the worst my older marine brother ever did, despite being surrounded with foulmouthed fellow marines, is hurl a malfunctioning carburetor out the window. but he easily solved rubik's cube and i didn't even know the first step to solving it.

As a kid I often heard a portion of adults observing that people who swore had small vocabularies.
Mind you, they were all adults with smaller vocabularies than I had as a preteen.
People who say such things don't know how to swear creatively.
Although you can certainly swear without swearing in corporate speak if you're passive-aggressive enough.
I did tech support for years, I got very good at what you're describing.
