Can someone explain to me why boomers are so precious about swearing? I know a guy like this and it’s so annoying. Like, just fucking curse, dude, you’re not transgressive or interesting for doing it.
yeah, there’s the old joke about the director of a soviet plant banning cursing and productivity immediately grinding to a total halt because none of the workers know the real names of their tools and materials, only the swearing version
I think it’s classist tbh. It’s always “lower class” jobs like chefs and builders and sailors who swear a lot, it’s seen as “crude” and “low class” because the hoity-toity rich fuckers never have to just exclaim to the world about how frustrating their circumstances are, therefore it is bad and uncouth to show any sort of frustration with the system.

Idk if it’s just boomers, I think it’s an overall decorum thing. Imo sometimes incessantly cursing makes you look foolish
It’s cultural, depends on where you are. In the north east, of the US, presumably where Brooklyn dad would be cursing is the norm
