Manners are the grease that allows civilization to function smoothly. The more coarse and vulgar we become as a nation the harder it becomes for people to get along. As a former Chief Petty Officer I think I can cuss with the best when it is called for but in most cases it is not only not needed it is counter productive. Further, if one does not normally use vulgar language it has far more impact when in a truly extreme situation one resorts to it.

Agree as to a place and time, albeit it rare these days as a civilian :o).............. reverting to slang , or action verbage as I like to call it, is (IMHO) a verbal replacement of the physical application of justified violence upon a target one can not legally reach out and apply in person..........
Stay Safe !
