Depends on who you mix with but yeah, people I do typically use it in ordinary conversation but good humour (like "fuck off" in response to good-natured ribbing) ... at my age certainly we usually know when to turn it off and my experience is that younger people use such words more. Of course (WRT using it aggressively) anyone with a brain knows that there is time and a place, swearing typically loses you the high ground in any argument (although the use of "fuck" doesn't necessarily mean you are a yob, it does introduce the "yob factor") so if you are going to use it, use it tactically (it can have seriously impressive shock value).
