    What’s interesting is, traditionally in language, once forbidden words got ran out, there were still other bad words left to enter the lexicon. “Damn” used to be a genuine curse. My grandfather survived WWII and proudly told be people of all the bombs he dropped, he never dropped the F-bomb.

    What’s next? There’s no new forbidden words. Nothing left in the back of the store. Our ability to run through words outpaced our ability to make bad ones.

      I killed a lot of people, many probably innocent, but I’m a good person cause I never swore!

        Not quite. It’s that he was flying a plane and being shot at 6 days a week, and yet still didn’t need to jump up to a new bad word. Whatever he already knew is the language he used.
