'Jackwagon', LOL. You've got to be Gunny Ermey himself to make that sound more vicious than actual cursing, bless his soul.

But for a guy who went to L.A. just hoping to play in a rock band Johnny Depp has become the master of creative language when they allow him.

“Send this pestilent, traitorous, cow-hearted, yeasty codpiece to the brig.” — Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Ouch!
He totally saves the movie "Dark Shadows" with erudite scene-chewing and makes you pity the other excellent actors who just stuck to the script.

There IS time and place for swear words but overuse wears on the listener and demeans the person doing that in the minds of their audience. Proper use by the likes of George Carlin, Eddie Murphy et al are integral to their routines when they not only amuse but make you think.

But like handling guns it's best to leave it to those most familiar with weapons if you're but a neophyte. Misuse of foul language may find you blowing a toe off with a mouth that was better left closed.

The way Gunny launches the box of tissues right by the patient’s head at the end of that commercial, uttering “crybaby” was priceless.

The movie Johnny Dangerously has some of the best faux curse words ever.
