Re: O.T. PROFANITY

And what about those marvellous yiddish curses which translate to "You
should grow like an onion with your head in hell." or "A plague on you"

When I lived in Montreal, a friend took his van in to have it repaired.
The mechanic looked at it and said "Votre engine c'est fuckez!"
Franglish at its best.

The C word I have trouble abiding. I simply detest it.
The F word I have used only once in public (excepting those jokes that
just won't work without it) -- but do mumble it to myself every now and
then.
The P word is very handy.
But the S word is my personal favorite.

I really don't care to hear the 4-letter-ones show themselves every
other word in other people's everyday speech though -- that turns me
off.

This is what swear words in other languages are for. You get to have
your catharsis without offending anyone (except for speakers of that
language, of course).

(Russian, French, Italian, and Japanese, respectively - the Japanese
word is very very bad, I'm told. The Russian profanity is very mild -
on the order of "Damn it". The other ones you probably know.)
