re: When did it become ok to drop "f bombs" in mixed company?

That's socially retarded.

Yep

Or you could just work in an industry where it's normal to curse like a sailor.

I do and it is difficult to change gears after the job.

As for the person referring to Jesus, I am not sure how active and developed English was at the time, and I certainly have no idea what the vernacular in Arabic was like.

'Congratulation On the wedding, I hope your wife knows she got a playa for life, and that ain't no bullshitting.... I know we grew apart, and you may not remember, but I used to fiend for your sister but never went up in her....'

Turning a "bad" word into a pre-school version of the same word and meaning does not alleviate the person from saying a word with the same meaning. Telling someone to "eat shite" is no worse, in my mind, then telling them to "eat poo poo." You're suggesting someone ingest feces, regardless of whether or not you use a swear to do so, right? Clearly some people thin the swear is worse...why???

I think "ingest feces" should become a more common insult.

I mean...so long as the problem is "curse" words, why not?

"Madam...I cordially invite you to go and have sexual relations with yourself."

Almost seems like a 90's SNL sketch with characters telling each other the worst possible things in the prettiest possible language.

This whole thing is absurd to me, if that's not clear.

I find it impossible to believe that there are some people who would clearly prefer to hear ,"I hate her...she's the worst person ever. She's dumb and ugly and I wish she'd die" to, "Oh my gosh...you're the frickING BEST!!!"

Kind of amazing.

In mixed company? Is that anyone in your presence other than the people you would normally only use bad language around?

I cuss like a sailor and the bad thing is... I don't even realize I do it, it just rolls off the tongue. But the word "frick", in my opinion, is a strong word.

For example, in many cases, people use it in situations when shite gets real. Let's say someone makes a common mistake that doesn't really cause any problems. People are just going to say "you jackass", but if someone does something really fricking stupid that will affect other people, that should have never happened. Then you will heard a response like "this mother fricker here". You know that mother fricker did something that he shouldn't have.

If you have a "run in" with someone the word "frick" allows you to gage just how made someone ise. Let's say it's someone who doesn't cuss that much, but if he says "He is a fricking a-hole".. Then you know that guy is really pissed.

Some people overuse it, which gets on my nerves if I am around that person for too long.. For example someone who says "This fricking weekend we went fricking fishing and the fricking boat we were in was fricking badass". They have people like this and for some reason they always give me the impression they are someone who always tried too hard.

Wrong. It's governed by context not by antiquated social norms developed by an elderly population desperately clinging to the world they grew up in.

We can thank Carlin for that strange taboo vanishing from society.
