I make a conscious effort to not take the Lord’s name in vain. Anything else pretty much goes, but only around my wife, I don’t like the “MF” word, because those are two words that should never be put together. And I don’t swear in public. I try to have SOME semblance of dignity….🙄

You’re right about Carlin. We saw him live many years ago, and he did it masterfully, I think.
Years before, I saw Cheech and Chong live, and that was the first time I had even heard their material- my ears were burning walking out of there…

> Gratuitous usage of profanity can also make a person come off as illiterate.

The trick is to slip a big word in there.

Calling somebody a “F’ing idiot” doesn’t have a lot of impact these days.

But if you call them a “F’ing pusillanimous idiot” it makes them think a little bit and makes them more wary of responding.

It’s been proven that swearing helps to relieve pain. Swearing activates your fight or flight instinct, and releases pain dulling chemicals into your system. So next time you hit your thumb with a hammer, let it all out. You will literally feel better, in a clinical way.

My mother would make us take a spoonful of Tabasco when we’d swear. I use a lot of hot sauce on my food to this day.

4. George Carlin using cuss words to highlight absurdity in the English language and American culture.

Anything that degrades Western society is promoted by the left, ebonics, swearing, anything whatsoever to do with sex, the concept of ladies and gentlemen, or anything else that is seen as the white culture of self-discipline and seeking excellence and a higher plane.

The coarser, cruder, anti-Christian, and low-class we can make ourselves the better for bringing down the mighty Western civilization.

Feed our weaknesses, encourage them, reward them, praise them.

When I was much younger, I traveled to various foreign countries. I liked to learn “please” and “thank you” first, and then all of the swear words I could, for when “please” and “thank you” didn’t work.

A lot of foreign cursing (including British and Australian) gets past most people in this country. It is pretty embarrassing, though, when somebody does understand a choice phrase that you didn’t think they would.

Yes, I have a internet friend who is quite a bit older than me. I used the word “frack” in a sentence, and he went on a tirade how its no better than the official F word. I guess I’m just a bit of a sinner then. I usually just swear when pissed off.

What’s interesting is foreign languages pretty universally have curse words! Human condition sucks everywhere and people have to have a way to express their feelings.

Vulgarity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully. Sixty years ago, one of my sister’s friends came up with this saying. I think it is still pertinent today.

Shakespeare certainly used oaths and “minced oaths”, which were the common “swear words” of his day. In fact the historical use of prohibited oaths as profanities is why we still call it “swearing” even today.

Swearing is powerful until the other guy knocks you on your ass. Antifa found that out real fast. Ditto with the Mexicans pounding on BLM.

The beatings destroyed the deep state soi boi stormtroopers. Now they don’t swear much.

Women who swear do not value purity.
