As someone who grew up in a house having to harshly censor any use of swear words or media containing swear words, and as someone who then dropped "fuck" and "shit" and "asswipe" very freely as an adult, I'm of an age where I've come to appreciate minced oaths for their own sake

I mean look calling someone an A-hole is inherently funny "A-hole" is such a great word It's so much funnier than actually calling someone an "asshole"

Just like "freaking" is actually a better way to express excitement or frustration than "fucking" in many situations And calling something "crap" as an insult is actually more devastating than calling it "shit"

If something is "crap" it's not even bad in an interesting enough way for it to be worth getting an R rating talking about it

This reminds me of the tweet saying there’s no worse insult than asking of someone, “who is this clown” because it both implies that they are both foolish and not foolish enough to be well known

Yeah "creative insults" are self-defeating This is one of the only actual important lessons I would teach my kids if I had any If you spend a lot of effort trying to find a memorable way to insult someone you're just advertising they've gotten under your skin

This is why my favourite swear is the c word. It's succinct, expresses your views on one syllable.

Yeah well I think the consensus right now is that it's problematic, at least if you don't have one
