The overuse of profanity in wider society has to stop
Stella Morabito makes a valid point that heavy use of vulgar profanity has become way too much these days, especially the F-word:
Will the F-word ever mercifully start fizzling out? I’ve been wondering about this for a long time. I share the sentiments of Federalist writer Richard Cromwell, who recently wrote up his thoughts on the overuse of obscenities.There's various other languages that have their variations on the F-word too, even in Hebrew, and that too has to be reevaluated and stopped. All this massive use of obscenities is just part and parcel of the reason why the globe has been so horrifically devastated over past decades. Parents who really care will make it clear to their children why a curse word that's also an offensive allusion to sex has to stop, and not just because it gives sex a bad name. It also degrades society as a whole.
Nevertheless, the F-bomb refuses to die. Who else is as sick of it as we unhappy few? Yes, I get it. It’s 2025 and “everyone” says it, including people you wouldn’t expect.
It’s like a huge permission structure machine came down and opened the F-gates and a great F-dam burst, flooding us all with torrents of F-ness. Suddenly it was every other word on everybody’s lips and devices. An assortment of “fabbreviations” took over social media: WTF, GFY, FAFO, and LFG, for starters.
Well, here’s what I say to all that: Eff the F-word.
