SWEARING.....Swearing, Cursing, Obscenity, and other Exclamatory language....Do we need it?.

THERE is nothing so impertinent, so sensitive and foolish, as our way of vulgar discourse, when mixed with oaths and curses.
Swearing, that lewdness of the tongue, That scum and excrement of the mouth commonly used by bullying peers in industry the office and the military parade ground, and now the entertainment industry, it is of all vices the most foolish and sensless; it makes a persons conversation unpleasant, his Discourse fruitless, and his Language Nonsense.
On leaving; as a guest at a local servicemans club, I asked a senior staff person if I could be allowed to voice the "F" word during any social conversation within the club. I was told "No", our club will not condone swearing within the club at any time. My reply was; it seems the Pious bastards running this club can charge patrons $45..00 to listen to a barrage of gushing filth incorporating every known top drawer swear word known to man by that ugly bastard 'Rodney Rude' Billed as entertainment, What's your club motto mate, Is it * "I see no ships"? .....I was shown the door.
Some people worry that slang will somehow corrupt the language. We should be so lucky. Most slang lexicons are preciously guarded by their sub cultures as membership badges. Slang in my world is a lingo that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work....A lesson for the Miscellaneous Migrant entering Britain, RE, My previous post.
No one is ever capable of swearing properly in any language other than their own apart from one exception, in my case I have frequently been informed I have spoken Japanese or a similar lingo, and I have learned that others too have experienced this phenomena, 'Its a kind of First Aid to the injured, It seems to deaden the pain.
But others will say "Let us swear while we may, for in heaven it will not be allowed.

SO, "What is your feeble excuse for the use of profanity, or your reasons for abstention, waiting to hear from you.
Vest Daily Gaggle. Yes I am feeling better.

Have a lovely day. BTW. *Admiral Nelson...Blind Eye, get it? "Eye see no ships"

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the end of WW2, referred to as VP day (Pacific) by non combatant pollies. Us the Cannon fodder refer to it as VJ (Japan) day. Those bastards operated in the Indian ocean area too, All brain dead pollies take note, in most cases I suppose they were not around when it happened, and in most cases even now, they are never around when something important needs to happen.

It is overused ... but a jolly good profanity every now and then never hurt no one. But then I tend to say mine out loud when ALONE! Lol!

Aggie: I cannot recall your usage of profanity, only sweetness and the truth.x.

Re publisher.
Spending that amount on those book fairs is not a good idea, already tried that, the word deficit comes to mind.

anon 1: Yes , my 2nd given name(christian name) is John as well as my pseudo name John Leonard Spencer, Leonard was the name of a horse which came 3rd at 14/1 in the 1945 Melbourne Cup, incidently I backed the winner Rainbird 12/1 on board was Billy Cook, and BTW a Vest you wear in England is sometimes called a spencer in Australia.
Now to complete the puzzle, now that you know the middle name. my first given name and surname are the same as the first two parts of the original hyphenated name of the author of the 'Saint' books, but not his pseudo name.
No prizes for working that one out, but lets see who is first.

Anon 2: The Eskimo thingy is out dated, and beside that we are not eskimos, furthermore your suggestion is lewd, 'How dare you, you wicked person.
Vest said…
I must mention that the Brit vest besides being a spencer in Oz, is an undershirt in Unclesamland, whereas a vest in the land of the free is a waistcoat in good Queen Bess land. The mind boggles.

Swearing, Cursing, Obscenity, and other Exclamatory language

??

Dunno about you lot but, from my limited memory ..
Swearing is an oath of faith.
Cursing is hoping ones enemies go to hell,
Obscenity is in the eye of the beholder ..

Exclamatory language? Um, need detailed instruction on what, exactly, that means.
