Election Year or Fear!

IMO, the F word has lost its power to shock except those who simply can't wait to be "offended" by the slightest thing. It's extremely common in its use here in NL from junior schools and upwards. Hardly a talk show goes by or a radio programme without at least one person using it as a verb or noun or pronoun or adjective. You'll hear it in every UK school playground. Every pub, although one didn't used to 40 years ago. Time to stop being offended by its use. As was said in a previous conversation, language evolves...

The F word. It's been replaced by a different far more offensive F word... Farage..

Albeit subject to some notable spoonerisms on the media in recent years, most notably with people whose surnames are Hunt!

Now where is Mike Hunt when you need him?
