I love pictures. If given a choice, I would rather flip through a comic than read a novel. What's that saying they say? A picture speaks a thousand words, or something that sounds profoundly close. Hilarious as the two pictures may seem, but it really does show the degree of children's exposure to sex. Ok, enough said about that.
So, what about using curse words? Is it considered vulgar and not "proper"? As mentioned by Walfredo, f*ck is such a commonly heard word. To me, the word has lost much of its "vulgarity value". To make things worse, it's so convenient to substitute f*ck in sentences, and at the same time able to express the emotional depth.
Who the f*ck do you think you are?
Oh, this is so f*cking delicious.
Are you f*cking serious about it?
This reminds me of something that happened probably some 10 years ago. Having just returned from a vacation to Italy, I was fascinated with the language. So at the bookstore, I thumbed through an English-Italian dictionary. Guess what were the first few words that I looked up. Yup, they were bastard and stupid. I pride myself in being able to speak a few languages, and funnily enough the curse words seem to stick around longer than the rest. Maybe you've realized too that when learning a new language, it usually starts off with hello and good morning. Next thing you know, you'll be wanting to learn how to swear in that language.
