Generally I think it just identifies the (limited) size of one's vocabulary.

I don't like what I consider to be the overuse of profanity either, mostly because it takes away from the force of such words when they're used for emphasis or to indicate the extreme nature of some situation or emotion. At which point they are very handy to have around, lol.

As Mark Twain said, "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer."

And of course "overuse" is in the ears of the behearer.
