You gettin' soft in your....er....slightly less young but still fresh and vibrant age, lyz? *whew* That was....too close. Good uses of swearing I like include Freddy vs. Jason and The Deadly Spawn. (Not having seen Kuffs I don't know if they're similar or not...)

She did THAT, too. And yet, I let her live….

Working at a Univeristy and being around students a lot, I’ve had to steel myself against “like” abuse. I grew up int he 80s and the height of the Valley Girl craze, and even we didn’t say “like ” that much.

However, try as I might, I cannot tolerate “like” abuse when coupled by those people who rapidly raise their voice higher and end every sentence like they’re asking a question. If you’ve ever herd it, you know what I’m talking about.

“My friends used to laugh at the F-bombs delivered in British accents in “Alien 3″, but we were in the 7th and 8th grade back then.”

In which case it may amuse you to learn that during World War I, the French soldiers dubbed their British counterparts, “Les Goddamns,” due to their incessant swearing.

Rick Popko emailed me and told me I was basically right about the swearing; they didn’t realize how much they did it while ad-libbing, and were taken off-guard when they went to edit it.

A well-placed swear word by an old person can be comedy gold.

Nothing’s funnier than a well-placed obscenity, but I find the dozen-times-a-minute convention extremely tiresome. Okay, maybe real people do talk like that, but whoever said it was entertaining? Pads out a skimpy screenplay, though, I guess.

And I’ll see your “y’know”, Nathan, and raise you a “like”. A couple of years ago there was a girl working in my department who was incapable of uttering a sentence without half a dozen like-s in it. It was, like, agonising having to, like, listen, like, while she said “like, like, every, like, second or so, like. She’s lucky she left when she did. She clearly had no idea how close to death she was.

There was a faux-movie trailer made by some French guys (if I’m not mistaken) for a movie called “F*** You”, a buddy-cop movie in which the two main characters use the f-bomb about three times per sentence. It ends on a joke about a seal (which is “foca” in French or in Portuguese or one of those Latin-based languages).

I love this ‘F-Bomb’ thing, that’s great slang right there, we don’t have that. I suppose it’s more fun than typing ‘f*ck’ the whole time.
BTW if you get a kick out of hearing british people swear I’ll tape my office and put it on-line (i work for the police, and rozzers swear a LOT).
