Wow, it sounds like the Romanians take swearing seriously! Lol. Swearing had its time and place here in America (maybe because of our Puritan roots?) when I was a child in the 70's. It was something men did amongst themselves and people were judged and labeled as "low class" or "uneducated" if it was done in public. The famous tire-changing scene in the film The Christmas Story does a excellent job of portraying how American culture viewed swearing. It just wasn't something you did around women or if you were a child.

This all started to change in the last few decades—maybe due to films, music, and television? It's nothing to hear the F-bomb in public, even uttered by small kids. It's just not as much of a "thing" because we've been desensitized.

I swear the most in traffic. I'm getting a better handle on it now but when I was younger people probably sometimes thought I suffered from Tourettes. : )
