Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for July 09, 2018

For me it starts on a weekend evening when I sit down to watch the news to see what the idiots in the world have done today and I find a couple guys dallying about a lawn with sticks in hand, wasting vast amounts of time visually measuring some part of said lawn. Gad, where’s a flamethrower when you need it?

That may have been true in 20th century but the explosion of cursing since then ypu can blame rap and nonregulated media

I thought that the leading cause of profanity was people.

Loose tongue sinks relationships.

Golf backwards is flog…

That’s nothing new. Golf has been a four-letter-word for a long time.

Golf: a game invented by the Scots to torture English aristocrats.

Quickly catching up are presidential tweets.

American politics has rapidly replaced golf, as the number one cause of profanity !

The amount of cursing among today’s society is a direct reflection of the failure of the ability to fully grasp the English language. Some Americans and many Brits have such a grasp the they can “cuss” you out without ever uttering a single profanity. You will only realize how badly you were impugned a few days later when you finally understand what they said. Most Americans curse because they don’t have any alternative language and have run out of words to use. I first heard a college president tell about this at a commencement address to the graduates. He used Spiro Agnew as an example of an American master linguist. This was before Agnew’s resignation.

Golf spelled backwards is flog.

Golf spelled backwards is flog. No Kidding! I’ll bet we’ve only seen that a thousand times in the past year.
