No other word is quite as versatile nor as reviled as kcuf. It’s origin is Germanic but it has also been suggested it stood For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. It’s use predates colonial times so we can’t blame TV or the 60’s.

Once you’ve heard your Grandfather drop it after striking a thumb with a hammer your innocence is lost. At work we have people who use it every third word and don’t even realize it, and not just the male offenders.

RF was obviously at ease in that podcast and being relaxed makes the casual language flow easier. JB was a bit taken back it seems because he is probably more conscious of the tape recorder running than RF because it’s RF’s tape recorder.

JFK was all that and more to Jackie, had he not been assasinated sooner or later scandels would have caught up to him. Marilyn Monroe comes to mind right now.

Very few things get sworn at quite as much as an engine that won’t crank or a bolt that won’t break loose.

Yes, in the tri-state area, the f-bomb isn’t a bomb at all but just another word. No one gives a f–ck about it.

Honestly, you can buy a shirt in Times Square, proudly displayed in the windows, that reads: “F–k you you f–king f–k f–k f–king f–k”.

Who are we fooling?

It’s the same when they bleep out the word on TV or anyplace else. We know what was said.

I find the hypocrisy more offensive than the use of the words.

The reason I was thinking about it is that my son is 6 now and he seems to take pleasure suggesting the use of some of these words in his language and how all of a sudden I am very unhappy about it. But what can I say when I was growing up we were a lot worse?

BTW I’m 54

A customer pulls up to a shop and goes inside to talk to the head mechanic.

The customer says “My car is making a strange noise. I think it might be the water pump”.

The mechanic stares at him blankly.

The customer repeats “My car is making a strange noise. It might be the water pump. Could you take a look at it, please?”

The mechanic continues to stare at him blankly.

Exasperated, the customer barks “Hey you blankity-blank! My blanking car is making a blankity-blank noise. I think it might be the mother-blanking water pump!”

The mechanic perks up and replies. “Oh. Why didn’t you say so in the first place?”…

Gee, I wonder if this f***ing post is going to get f***ing censored. Oh well.

Oh, by the way last I heard, Scions are mainly bought by Buick-age people… so your opening statement makes no sense. It’d be more accurate to say “the average TTAC reader is closer in age to a Buick buyer than a used $2000 Hyundai-tologist”… but it doesn’t f***ing sound as good.

I’m in my mid thirties now..hopefully not one of the younger regular visitors to the site.

JB, have a great trip.
RF et co..keep up the great work.

I also have a tendency to have a potty mouth. Once…just once I’d like to see a “WTF WERE THEY THINKING” car review…perhaps on youtube.

Then again, in certain parts of the country it’s used more as a verb than an adjective. New Orleans, Vegas, California, whenever I visited those areas that word du jour was used in a very different context.

As for living in Atlanta… the ‘F’ word will essentially make you persona non grata. It’s easier to show support for some of our more colorful politicians out there than it is to curse in public. That is unless you are actually cursing at one of those poor shmucks that’s trying to make the dinner conversation political. In which case it’s perfectly appropriate and welcomed.

So am I and I think of the f bomb everytime I log in to post and see FCKEditor.
