John:

I guess that using your definition saying things like "gee whiz" or "I do
declare" would technically be considered cursing.
    If that is the case, then are we allowed *any* phrases to use to indic-
ate extreme displeasure or surprise?  I suppose then even saying something
like "The annoying little distributor cap cracked again" would be cursing,
with the word "annoying" being the curse.
    My $64,000 question then, is why is cursing intrinsically wrong?
