Except for George McFly in 1955, who really needs to swear?

Not only is it unbecoming, it ruins the Christmas spirit. It’s bad enough already that people have to cover their ears for “All I want for Christmas is *@#!”

Besides, we all know that the pun is mightier than the s-word. Goy to the World!

‘You’ is a swear word?

The odd thing about this coarsening of printed and spoken language, is that the left - the “free speech” defenders - censor words THEY find offensive.

To wit: if Dire Straits’ “Money For Nothing” is played on the radio - I think even on XM satellite radio - that song’s “f” word is eliminated entirely.

They will uncork f-bombs etc left and right, and mock anyone they detest. But, if you say “ya know, the Covid shots don’t prevent getting the virus which was the basis for issuing the EUAs” they’ll sew your mouth shut.

I endeavor on FR and even at work to use “alternative” language like “jackwagon” or “thank you very little” or “what in the Wide World of Sports?” It works, even if people look at me like I’m slightly off.

What is REALLY offensive is when The Lord’s Name is taken in vain.

Your mileage may vary.
