Mama Said, "No Cursing!" ***Not Explicit, But I Do Say A Few Curse Words***
Today, I'm always surprised at what passes for just everyday language. When I grew up, we were not allowed to curse. The word 'curse' was considered a curse word and we could only use the words 'bad words' to describe profanity.
We could say, "Oh, they were saying bad words." Or, we could say, "They were cussing." Because 'cussing' was not considered a curse word. The word 'hell' was considered a bad word. It was ingrainded in me not to ever say a curse word.
It's just that sometimes I wish I could lighten up a little bit and throw some words around to some people in situations where they are warranted.
