I never used to curse, except for shit or damn once in a while.. It wasn't ladylike. (I'm 83). Now it has become so familiar - like a second language. My mother, if she were here, would have the bar of soap handy for the mouth washing. On second thought, she would probably join me.

Those were the only 2 curse words I used to use occasionally. Now my three daughters, all 50+, are trying to get used to the stronger ones coming out of my mouth.

I’m 81 and I’m right there with you but I can’t say it’s anything new. It’s just getting more colorful as I age. A co-worker years ago accused me of learning to talk at the Navy’s truck driver school….

That's one of the perks of getting older.

Judy, me too, me too. I rarely cursed on social media, rarely.

But whenever Trump is in power I just can't help myself, no other NON curse words describe what he is doing. Mostly I use EFF, but when I am really outraged, I will let the full F word fly.

Using the f word like a comma in my sentences these days.

I was raised by a good southern woman who also never curses. Poor Mama haha. But they're the best at accursed times like this.
