I really don't like 'Muck-spouts' who can turn the 'F' word into a noun, adjective, and verb; and need little more in their vocabulary. :xx

I take your point Grandad, but recent research showed that people who swear a lot have a better than average vocabulary as they can use more words in different context to express themselves, so basically they are more inventive. :o

How wrong can I be? I always think that when every other word is a swear word, they don't have the vocabulary to express themselves in any other way. :lol:
