I like to swear. I do plenty of it. So, for the record, this is not a rant about the improprieties of 4-letter words. Rather, I think in the art of conversation we owe it to our listeners to choose the best possible words to communicate our thoughts. If adding “fucking” before whatever adjective I’m using is most effective at conveying the depth of my feeling, then I will do so without shame. But it drives me frickin’ bananas when people swear just for the sake of doing it without consideration for the actual meaning of their words. When every single thing you say is “motherfucking this” or “motherfucking that,” not only do your words lose the weight of their meaning (like the little boy who swore wolf), but you also sound like a complete moron. I get it, you thought Snakes on a Plane was funny. Congratulations, you’re awfully clever. Here’s an idea: give Samuel L his line back and say something a little more succinct for a change. Motherfucking got it?
