This history & current state of profanity →
I don’t think I swear that much, and I definitely still notice when I do. I don’t think I’ll ever change much in either of these regards. I also don’t think I’ve noticed my friends & colleagues swearing more than they used to. So, I’m going to agree to side with those in the article that suggest we’re not actually swearing more, it’s just the words we use when we do swear that have changed.
That said, there is no better swearword, then & now, than the F word. I’ll sometimes say the German “Scheiße” when in public, but when it needs to count, and the emotions are thick, fuck if I’m not going to say Fuck.
