Gripping situation and no wonder brought a wide smile! Heard so much that my ears tend to ignore these days!:D

Johnji, heard a live concert in Alabama. Planning to make it? :)

Besides the occasional "French" to express certain emotions or emphasis, I do detest the extravagent usage of vulgar words. I am no prude, but I just don't understand why people have to resort to using those words. Is it that those folks don't have sufficient vocabulary? Even more disgusting are those (and I have seen many Nepalis like this) who feel they are being hip and fashionable by using vulgarities - that too in loud voices so that they could pollute the ears of those around.

John : Good stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed the piece. I'm still laughing. I guess words like these are so much a part of contemporary urban American culture that they are considered only to be borderline profanity. Also, I suppose there is often more sarcasm than offence intented with some of these words - especially words like bit$% and bast@$#. But yes, those are certainly words that you don't use in polite company. As for a bunch of loud mouth New Yorkers of the type you describe, I don't think they could be, or would want to be considered "polite company". LOL


PS: Accoring to Google the French for FU is (A) va te faire foutre and (B) encule ...he he (don't mind hai, couldn't resist!) And I wonder if the French say pardon my English when they use these words :)

Have a good one and keep writing!

chatmandude,
You are right, loss of a good vocabulary and the fad of being hip calls for frequent usage of curse words even when not needed. If you contemplate this issue further, you find many who, who could not master the language skillfully, find resort in swearing. Thanks for visiting.

नुईटे,
An advice, wear a belt, or at least have an underwear on when you read it in public. Thanks for visiting.

gazer,
Right!! we are not talking about offense, not at all, we are simply talking about how trendy it's become to swear in public and be hip. People actually find themselves comfortable when addressed with these adjectives.

nb,
Thanks for showing your admiration, I try and improvise all the time, but sadly, only subjects like such get noticed.

I remember being a motor-mouth myself not so long ago...

Galt, as I see it, one grows out of it. I don't swear any more and I don't think that guys my age swear as much as they used to...

Even then I don't remember using foul language in front of my elders ever.

yacc,

After much brainstrorming, should we conclude that swearing is a one of premature adolescence bustle just like drinking and smoking? But while the latters, although, equally harmful, are not considered profane - swearing however is.

Thanks for reading.

Galt,

thanks for the respnse.

Well, swearing is also not considered profane if you are among like minded people, like if there were just Mr. Luda and your sister in law without anyone else overhearing. I didn't mind using swear words among my friends, I don't think I still mind the occasional slips among them.

I think my philosophy is-- whatever you do that may annoy others, don't do it among others who don't like it...

John,

There are synonyms and multiple rhetorics one can use. However, to get your emotions, feelings, wishes, urges, questions, pains etc through other people, there is always a best discourse. No alternative are equally effective.

You have that skill to attribute a right vernacular to a character and make her more alive.
And I am glad that you made "Ludacris" go french. It's his vernacular that makes us understand him better. This character doesn't give any care to the other well mannered character sitting on the eatery with his wife. May be I should use other words to say it appropriately.

As always you whet our curiosity and walked away whistling your favorite tunes... Come back ....
