I feel like saying the full thing relieves some of the stress caused by said unfucked shit
There are studies, I think, about swearing out loud actually reducing the subjective feeling of pain or discomfort
There's also a correlation with the sounds of said swearwords. Which tent to be more sharp and concussive. That's why "Fuck that shit" feels better than "Damn this mess"
My mom always said things like, "That guy is one tough motorscooter!"
