Why is cussing the only form of recognized "adult language"?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) January 14th, 2011

When did adult language get limited to just down in the gutter cussing? When you see a warning at the start of a DVD that says adult language it is because they are cussing like sailors. Why isn’t using eloquent words or words of high vocabulary considered “adult”? You don’t hardly see children speaking in such a refined manner so it isn’t “childish” language, so why is it not adult language even more so than cussing?
