Of all people, General Patton is said to have philosophied that the use of profanity demonstrates a lack of self control.

Upon viewing productions in cinema with lots of gratuitus profanity, surmises that the use of profanity demonstrates a lack of adequate script writing capability. After all Shakespeare certainly did not give profanity license in any of his scripts

And something else that presents a puzzle to contemplate, is the use of cryptic profanity such as “cheese and crackers”, or “jeepers”, or other such substitutions that people don’t take offense to yet the meaning and the spirit of the meaning remains the same as using the profanity itself but is cleverly cloaked and jocular.

Perhaps it is the depth or experience of english as a language that produces the ease of profanity rather than the eloquence and difficult art of explaination as a matter of course.

Same here, JBW1949. Once is too many but once is all I heard. Not repeatedly.

Actually, it was used twice (same phrase). But I'll deduct no points for his presentation. The man has been pounded continually by 4 horse faced females 5 horse faced so called females. Failed to include Nanny P Perhaps any here who feel the need should pray to GOD and ask forgiveness for Donald's lapse. Pent up anger effects persons differently. He's had occasion to experience a belly full of anger. Be diligent and pray for him.
