I Watched Priscilla Last Night On Prime Video…

”My husband was in the army the same time as Elvis, both in Germany, and my husband said the f-bomb was not used.”

You sound very juvenile. All the other swearing words were used. I was raised around all my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins. My dad was one of the worst being in the military. The f-bomb was not in their vernacular. Apparently you didn’t live those times. I worked with people who swore like a “bunch of sailors” as it was referred to back then, and not once did I hear the f-bomb. I’ll tell you how filthy mouthed we’ve become. My cousin was a junior in high school when some b—-h called her a prostitute. She an idea what one was, but she confirmed it with my Aunt.

In other words “You know not of what you speak.”

This is another reply, though late, to back up my statement about the f-bomb. It was NOT used in our everyday language. It was NOT part of our lexicon during the 1950’s & most of the 1960’s. The Viet Nam War, Woodstock, protests, etc. opened the door for more profane language. It’s often said the 1960’s is the decade when we lost our innocence, beginning with the assassination of JFK. It was a decade of turbulence.

The following is to educate you how it became a banal filler in our everyday speech, a filler for scriptwriters, a filler to use instead of a more intelligent verb, adverb, adjective, noun…whatever. It is and continues to be the 2nd most profane word to use. The 1st is the n-word.

From another article:

”In a culture where the F-word is as common as dirt, the only way to be provocative would be to buy a dictionary and learn to express one’s self without profanity.”

Read the above sentence again & let it sink in!

”In a culture where the F-word is as common as dirt, the only way to be provocative would be to buy a dictionary and learn to express one’s self without profanity.”

It has not been defused. It may be part of YOUR “vernacular”, but I wouldn’t be bragging about it. Read the sentence above carefully. Let it sink in. Those who use the f-bomb have a shallow lexicon in their arsenal of speech.


”vernacular”

”Vernacular is the ordinary, informal, spoken form of language (though possibly written), particularly when perceived as being of lower social status in contrast to standard language,which is more codified, institutional, literary, or formal.[1] More narrowly, a particular variety of a language that meets the lower-status perception, and sometimes even carries social stigma, is also called a vernacular, vernacular dialect, nonstandard dialect,[2][3] etc. and is typically its speakers' native variety.”

Hmm? “…lower social status…”

Lol, seeing grown adults say “f-word” and “f-bomb” in a discussion about the word itself is just so precious. Do you wash your screens off with soap when you read it?
