  That's it in a nutshell, "unthinking habit".
  So much is said/done without thinking and after awhile it becomes a habit
that one doesn't even notice, and worse when others do it around that
person, which re-enforces it to be "normal" (everyone else is doing it).

  A co-worker told this person once not to use that language around her and
he pretty much stopped, around her.  Of course he was speechless a lot of
the time.  :)

> I used that language, as a kid

  I never did, nor did my parents or siblings or many I was associated
with, for the most part.

  Yep.
  There were one or two other kids I knew who did, but not close friends of
any sort.
 
> my partents, even at my worst.

  I would have soon learned what a bar of soap tasted like if I had.
  Kids today (broadly speaking) have little discipline at home.  That is
now viewed as some sort of repression of their expression.
