I preferred people who tried to be creative and come up with swears similar to those the NPCs used (whoresons, Thal's balls, Matron's teat [tit? can't remember], Seven Hells! etc). I still prefer when people use shite or bloody over the more real-world swears, but it doesn't bother me anymore to see the latter used.
For the record, the NPCs have given us a word to use instead of fuck.

- have sexual intercourse with.
They also use "rut" and "bugger", depending on context. "Rut" is used for sex. "Bugger" is profanity.
Swiv.....I've only seen the Limsan NPCs use though. Context could make it weird if two fancy Ishgardian men are in an argument and one of them outs "piratespeak".

Weeeell considering Estinien was the one who said it there, we could think of it more as just an extremely foul thing to say (as 'fuck' is) that any Eorzean would use, not just pirates. Pirates of course, speak dirtier than most, and would of course use it more frequently!
