I didn’t think you’d like that sort of thing.  I read a bit of one of them once.  God, I couldn’t finish it  the language!  Unbelievable.  It’s a bit much for me, Father  feck this and feck that.  Ya big bastard.  Oh dreadful language.  Ya big hairy arse, you big fecker.  Fierce stuff.  And of course the F word, Father … Bastard this and bastard that.  You can’t move for the bastards in her novels.  It’s wall to wall bastards.  Father Ted: And God Created Woman s1e5, Mrs Doyle to Ted, Channel 4 1995

Not bound to swear allegiance to any master,

Wherever the wind takes me I travel as a visitor.  Horace, Epistles

 

 

Swearing on the Bible.  You understand that shit?  They tell you to raise you right hand, place your left hand on the bible.   Does this stuff really matter which hand?  Does God really give a fuck about details like this? ... If they said to me, Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God, I’d say, Yeah!  I’ll tell you as much truth as the people that wrote that fucking Bible.  How do like that, huh? … It’s kid’s stuff.  George Carlin

Stifling free speech, no matter what you call it, is humbug.  Penn & Teller, Bullshit! s2e6: Profanity, Showtime 2004

 

 

The whole business of swearing, essentially England swearing, is mysterious.  Of its very nature swearing is as irrational as magic – indeed, it is a species of magic.  But there is also a paradox about it, namely this: Our intention in swearing is to shock and wound … When a word is well established as a swear word, it seems to lose its meaning.  George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

 

 

Now dont let us give ourselves a parcel of airs, and pretend that the oaths we make free with in this land of liberty of ours are our own; and because we have the spirit to swear them, — imagine that we have had the wit to invent them too.  Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
