No, not necessarily. Sometimes intelligent people need to get a point across to unintelligent people (or just people accustomed to swearing), and the will use swear words as expletives and exclamations in order to make their point. They can be used as rhetorical devices.

i don't believe of human beings assume someone is unintelligent in the journey that they listen somebody else swear plenty. They infer it from not really the swearing inspite of the indisputable fact that the context in which the swearing takes position and the frequency of use. A swear be conscious serves as punctuation on a sentence. even as used properly it supplies a particular flavor that you actually can't get with an exclamation element. "i'm quite loquacious and prolific with my cursing, and that i'm effing mind-blowing!" vs. "i'm quite loquacious and prolific with my cursing, and that i'm f*cking mind-blowing!" It merely delivers that punch!

I don't think you can generalize one way or the other - I've met intelligent and unintelligent people who curse or don't - it just varies a lot.

Not necessarily unintelligent, but ignorant of better ways to express their feelings and ideas. If not ignorant, then just too lazy to use their knowledge, that is the lowest of low class.

No, not necessarily.
But does indicate a lack of intellectual sophistication when people curse all the time. You can't express anything very deep with a bunch of f- and s-bombs.

Depends on the person and the curse. Some people can curse so smoothly you don't even notice.

No. Normally it is a form of punctuation. They swear so often that, subliminally, They no longer realize that They are doing it. It is almost the equivalent to You or I saying "um" between statements.

No, not at all. I've heard this argument dozens of times and it never fits or makes sense. Intelligent people swear.

no, sometimes a person will pick up these words and use them as an everyday adjectives. They may not even realize it or may be using it to seem cool or strong.

Not necessarily, just unimaginative.
