"When I served in the Army in the ‘70s the F word was prevalent."

Hey I was in WW II. There was a fellow from NJ who was going back to Harvard when he got out. He intended to write a paper on the use of the F word as used in every part of speech. He said it was the most powerful word every used in its flexibility.

Thanks for your service!

So they were using it back then...wow. I didn’t think it came along til the ‘70s. Wonder if that guy ever wrote that paper. It would have been interesting. I tried to get the guys to not use it around me. Guess how that worked out. Then I somewhat picked up the bad habit of cursing, until I met my boyfriend. He doesn’t curse (around me at least). We’re both educated and fairly intelligent, so to do so would demonstrate the opposite. We have good vocabularies (especially him). Don’t need to cuss to express ourselves.
