I think of gratuitous obscenities as I think of tobacco smoke.
Yes, there is a place for it. But I would rather be here than
there.
I know all the words, and I use them occasionally. I don't use
them around people I don't know well. I wonder how Uhl would react
if I used the words in a mixed group of his friends at his home.
I have been called "small minded" on this list. So please, Rea, add "stupid."
