Cursing ever other word...

[not5150]

So on the drive back from Vegas, my ride alongs noticed that we're all cursing basically every other word. Not that shocking in itself, but the fact it took us one hour to figure this out was surprising. I guess we were acclimated to all the god damns, f*ck, SOB, etc etc.

Any one notice a swear per minute increase?

I cussed so much I ran out of words earlier this morning. Previous years I got banned from saying "hella" for a year by my friends.

I went to one talk where curses were on the slides in big bright green letters. The best part was that they actually went extremely well with the talk! (See Zoz's Friday talk about getting his computer stolen and finding it.)

Or, of course, Priest during closing ceremonies:
Oh Fuck. Fuck! Fuck yeah!

Yes, we all generally curse too much.

It's funny this got mentioned on the forums. I don't, at least not publicly. Funny thing though, I was standing in line to head back to the airport and the guy behind us in the taxi line starts to make small talk. 90% of what he said was cursing, and the other 10% was whining. It was almost comedic, to be honest, and now I have an explanation -- it's all your fault. ;)

I think cursing anymore that I already do in real-time conversation would be scientifically improvable.
