I hope you are never allowed anywhere near a job that involves dealing with emergencies and life-or-death situations.

Does profanity help, in any way? Does it convey anything at all that expresses urgency, severity, or a special need? What is the purpose of profanity?

When was the last time you over-heard an ER doctor using profanity on the job? A fireman? A soldier? You can listen to our soldiers communicating to HQ, while under fire, and not listen to profanity.

There is simply no reason for it.

What an amazing fantasy. You must watch a lot of television.

Clearly you don't get out much.

I don't know what world you're living in, but it's those situations where people that normally don't swear, will let it slip right out. So, the answer to your question is...hell yes.

Churchill's foul-mouth parrot alive at 104

Charlie known for shocking leaders with anti-Hitler expletives

Posted: January 20, 2004

The foul-mouthed parrot at Winston Churchill's side during Britain's darkest hour of World War II is still alive and cursing Adolf Hitler.

At 104-years-old, Charlie can still be coaxed to repeat favorite sayings, such as "[expletive] Hitler" and "[expletive] the Nazis," London's Daily Mirror reports.

In the appropriate circumstances, yes.
