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!
âYouâ is a swear word?
The odd thing about this coarsening of printed and spoken language, is that the left - the âfree speechâ defenders - censor words THEY find offensive.
To wit: if Dire Straitsâ âMoney For Nothingâ is played on the radio - I think even on XM satellite radio - that songâs âfâ word is eliminated entirely.
They will uncork f-bombs etc left and right, and mock anyone they detest. But, if you say âya know, the Covid shots donât prevent getting the virus which was the basis for issuing the EUAsâ theyâll sew your mouth shut.
I endeavor on FR and even at work to use âalternativeâ language like âjackwagonâ or âthank you very littleâ or âwhat in the Wide World of Sports?â It works, even if people look at me like Iâm slightly off.
What is REALLY offensive is when The Lordâs Name is taken in vain.
Your mileage may vary.
