I'm not too sure about that, Slice!
I've worked with some pretty highly educated people, and most of them talk like sailors... of course I have worked in supply chain for my entire career, which is an area of expertise that is infamous for... well, talking like sailors. Have only encountered one person (one of only two women who were ever on one of my teams, besides myself) who was offended by the language in our department. But then, pretty much everything offended her.
That being said, I fairly recently went about 1 or 2-years without cussing, and it's something I struggle to limit/control. My dad hates to hear me use certain cuss words, so I've been trying to stop again. Not doing a real good job so far.

And the proof positive is that George Carlin was one of the least educated people who ever lived. Considering the amount of profanity he used, I doubt he ever made it past the 1st grade.

Good for you!! Cursing is thought by some to be an addiction and others think it's simply carelessness while others believe cursing is a verbal attempt give force to the statement.
I dunno, Slice. That sounds like it's okay for famous big shots to use profanity but not okay when a nobody peon like me wants to use it. Reeks of elitism.Slicef18 wrote:[ Cursing as a part of humor is different than cursing being part of ones personality.

If you're gonna be agin profanity then be agin it consistently.

I'm not sure about that. I gotta think about it. A psychologist (DrPhil type) spend their day watching and judging peoples behavior, but do not do it when off work. A soldier shoots at people called the enemy but do not target civilians when back in the states.

If I was to write a post right now to express my true feelings about Limbaugh it would be so offensive that I might have to go to hell just for that alone. lolYella wrote:

Slice sweetie, I don't savvy the sentence I bolded above. Can you rephrase for me please?
Sure, I'd be glad to. There is a difference between what and how people act at home when compared to their work. There is a difference between an entertainer using cursing as part of their shtick and the way they converse when at home and around their family. People going to Carlin, Eddy Murphy and Andrew Dice Clay expect to hear cursing. They pay to hear it. Sorry for the confusion.

I can understand what Bob said about it being okay when bigshots use profanity but it's not okay for us peons, but I am not referencing people who are in the media (as I think Bob is), just in the workplace. When our GM and/or other Big Wheels came to visit, of course we'd all do our best not to cuss around them unless we knew them well enough to do so, in effort to be respectful and to not project an unprofessional environment at our factories, &c. But during meetings (both small and large attendance) I cannot even tell you how many times one of those same men dropped the f-bomb. Pretty normal occurrence, and these are c-band guys... executives and senior executives. But us peons were expected to behave, which was fine with me... but just to illustrate Bob's point from my own experience and perspective.
Where is everybody?? It's a slow day for me and I am BORED!

But it would be along the same lines as that expressed by Carlin. Which would be "when is it ever going to end?". Limbaugh has had his 15 minutes a thousand times over by now. His 15 minutes has now lasted longer than anyone else's 15 minutes in the history of the world.
