I worked with a guy who used the F word between almost every other word (unless he got really stressed when the level went up), even if one of those words was an F word. It sounded really stupid when you first heard it, but after a while you didn't actually notice it any more. Your mind just went into filter mode. I think he was ex merchant navy.

But when you thought about it it was rather funny.

That is an americanism that I noticed when I lived there. Is 'hell' considered a profanity there?
