That's certainly true.

Funny story -- I was sitting in a Drs. waiting room with a bunch of other women one day. They were renovating the suite next door, and every word that was being said could be heard. The guys doing the work were dropping the f-bomb every other word, as part of their conversation. At first, the women all just looked at each other and rolled their eyes. But, as it continued, pretty soon we all just started laughing. I doubt those guys even realized that their every word could be heard, or even that they were using the word.

When I was growing up, that word was verboten. Even the ever popular "suck" was considered obscene. I still wouldn't use those words when I talk to my father.
