   I didn’t learn words like that at school, but I did when Dad was driving.

   reminds me of the time, when my son was very young, that I got ticked at some guy who cut me off in traffic and said a few not so nice things, only to hear them repeated from the back seat…

   Oe the time my deaar little two year old dropped a hymnal on the floor and church. Thud. “Oh, sh*t”. And then another thud from her mother!

   Several cartoons have handled that strange custom of ours. In one the characters made up a word but used it in place. The adults made it a “bad word.” In another they say the word but it is “bleeped” all the way through it. The start with a Sopranos reference.

   Those words have their place. When you are angry or hurt but in no other place in the language. The idea of “bad” words is insane. Words describe.
   sexual intercourse or coitus
   penis, vagina okay —but not for much longer
   scat, defecant, offal

   But their “bad” versions are forbidden. Nonsense really but there you have it in our coitus up culture.

   Sometimes a bad word is perfect. In Star Trek Generations, for example. They seperated the saucer section when the rest was about to blow up or something. The saucer section is about to crashland on the planet below. As we see the surface loom closer and closer on the viewscreen, a quick shot of Data, he calmly says “Oh s***.” Appropriate, and would not have had the same impact, no pun intended, if Worf or Riker had yelled it out.
