No need for Swearing

There is no real need for swearing. But it can be fun. It can turn those seemingly uneventful experiences into something uncomfortable and memorable for everyone. That friend of yours that you’ve never liked… just use the C-word in front of his family and he’ll never call or pester you again. The right swearword at the right time can finish any relationship.
But you hardly have to say anything to offend an American. Damn is considered bang-out-of-order in many states. They are culturally devoid of good swearwords. When I lived over there someone called me a Freakin’ Goofball. I asked him if that was the best he could do and he called me a Crazy Doofberry. That’s not a swearword, that’s a Boost Juice. You can’t insult someone with a Boost Juice.
But the world’s worst swearers have to be the English middle classes. When they get really angry they use words like nincompoop and poppycock – it’s like Tourette Syndrome in reverse.
