Kadang-kadang mereka menggunakan kata-kata umpatan ini tidak hanya untuk menyerang seseorang atau meluapkan emosi kepada orang lain yang dapat menimbulkan kekacauan. Penggunaan kata-kata ungkapan sekarang ini berbeda dengan zaman dahulu, pada zaman dahulu, kebanyakan orang menggunakan ini hanya untuk menyerang seseorang. Sebagai mahasiswa Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata, penulis ingin meneliti fenomena penggunaan kata-kata umpatan yang terjadi di kalangan mahasiswa pria Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata terutama yang sering terjadi di rumah kos.

Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sekarang ini kata-kata umpatan sering digunakan karena kebiasaan mereka dalam percakapan sehari-hari, bukan untuk menyerang seseorang yang dapat menimbulkan kekacauan atau perselisihan. Mereka menggunakan kata-kata umpatan juga untuk memperdekat hubungan mereka, sehingga bagi mereka kata-kata umpatan itu kebiasaan yang lazim digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Selain itu juga penulis menemukan bahwa kata-kata ungkapan bisa dipakai oleh siapapun tidak memandang latar belakang dan status sosial dari pengguna.
