Why we swear like a trooper, trucker, sailor, fishwife.

Montagu's book devotes one long chapter to the peculiar history of the word "bloody", which, he writes, "accumulated so much magic that it provided an unfailing source of energy for use in all sorts of refined meanings."
Reading this. It's a lot of fun, if you're into swearing, insults, and literary history

Es gibt sehr viele gute Software. In der Familie sind für uns XMPP Clients ganz wichtig. Wir verwenden diese zum chatten, telefonieren, video calls.
In der Familie wird meist der Andorid Client #Conversations verwendet oder #Monal für iOS. Ich selber verwende #profanity und #gajim. Die Kinder verwenden #dino.
Die Server #prosody und #ejabberd dürfen auch nicht fehlen.
Vielen Dank an die XMPP Community!

Am I right, that the last two points, i.e. better multi-device and encryption experiences, derive from Delta Chat using #PGP instead of #PFS-polluted #OMEMO?
Unfortunately, #OX (#OpenPGP for #XMPP) doesn't take off. Only few #Jabber clients (#Gajim, #Libervia, #Profanity) support it, esp. no mobile client so far.
Oh, how I envy Delta Chat users for having encryption without cursed #forwardSecrecy!
In honor of the excellent discussion started by @TheBreadmonkey about whether it is okay to swear on #mastodon
Happy fucking new year! 2024 was a shitshow. See it off with our 10th Annual Tucker Awards for Excellence in Swearing, by @bgzimmer

Swearing as a sign of inarticulacy is a popular misconception. Fluency in profanity correlates with fluency in broader verbal use:

Traditional Irish ways to admire someone's profanity:
—They'd swear a hole in an iron pot
—They'd curse the bladder out of a goat
—They'd quench a candle the other side of the kitchen

He repeatedly denigrated #Harris, used #profanity to refer to President #Biden & attacked the physical appearance of Rep Adam Schiff, the California Democrat who was the lead investigator in #Trump’s first #impeachment. While reminiscing about his 2016 campaign, he gleefully recalled the “extremely destructive” nicknames he bestowed upon his opponents.
