No, I don't like to hear people swearing all the time, because it devalues the usefulness of swearing. Contrary to popular belief, swearing can be both big and clever. Derek and Clive is a classic example of this. Swearwords are incredibly valuable, highly expressive parts of our language, and should be kept for special occasions. They are rather like exclamation marks; very effective in small doses, but an annoying waste of time when overused.

Butty. I don't like that word either. Sickening.
Butty, butty, butty.
Mmm, chippy sandwich!

No, silly!! LOL 
Understanding a word's meaning is a quite different kettle of fish to giving it ones seal of approval.

Me too. Really hate it.
Bog. Unless it's a marsh.
It's very hard to not to swear in front of your children sometimes - unless you banish them from your company all the time. They're going to hear these words at some point, so IMO, no harm them hearing them and understanding their usage. But swearing at children, I can't abide.
