Swear words
November 3rd, 2008Swearing is a short cut.
Jerry Seinfeld said swearing is a short cut for comedians to get a laugh. ย So he didn’t swear during his acts.
They are a short cut for expressing yourself (some say lazy).
They are also a short cut for getting your point across.
You will not hear me swear much, if at all.
On the odd occaision you may, when I really want to drive a point home.
Keeps people on their toes and lets them know when I really mean it.

Shit yeah, swearing is punctuation these days. ๐
Seriously though, I watched the best of Ronnie Barker the other day, comedy from the 70s and 80s, and it was so clean. Okay, so maybe he was really, really good at innuendo, but it was such a breather from the kind of comedy you get these days.
