“”I watch quite a bit of Aussie “reality TV” and Utube. Even I am sometimes shocked at the “cursing’ I hear. Copious use of the “c” word and stringing curse words together to form a sentence.
I learned to cuss in steel plants and I can still put a string together that is amateurish by Aussie standards.””
Remember the term “cuss or swear like a sailor”? In the good ole days... that was the phrase used when someone used profanity. Presumbably, military men would ‘pick up’ swearing from different ports or areas of the world and bring it back home. It’s a culture thing now.
I have watched a lot of UK and Aussie shows and they use the “c” word like we use the “b” word. It’s no biggie to them. And I have noticed that even in some of my favorite TV shows, the use of the “f” word is becoming more and more “normalized”. It’s all part of the bringing down of our culture of Christianity and traditional American values. It’s “progressive” destruction.
That phrase has gone through my mind recently as I reflected on the increased use of vulgar words across all media.
When I was an enlisted man in the Navy (50 years ago) we were told not to swear in front of officers. I also never heard an officer swear in font of us, although I imagine they did when among themselves. The point was to uphold military decorum and protocol.
It would be nice to see the FCC do it’s job and clean up the airwaves. The hip-hop “music” is disgusting. They could get rid of the non-stop ED commercials while they are at it too. Young children don’t need to hear that. I would be all for more civil discourse in our society.
That is why i love watching the DryBar on youtube
comedians who have to be funny and not be cursing or vulgar.
It works
