I feel like I'm missing a joke here.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

the man in the pic was from a fringe political campaign with the catchphrase" the rent's too damn high"
people complain every single week that offering x should be a significantly lower price, so "the market price is too damn high" as it were. that's about it.
...The word "damn" requires a warning now?
Anyway, oh yeah, that guy. I somehow managed to almost avoid anything having to do with that idiocy, so I'm only mildly aware of it.

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
That facial hair is still missing in the costume creator, too.

You realize that practically nobody considers "damn" to be profanity anymore, right? Hasn't been for 25 years at least. Not even network TV censors, and we all know what prudes they are. It's also not filtered on the forum or in-game, so it's clear here. |

"Bloody" as in "Not bloody likely" was once considered profane in England, and even in the 60s and 70s BBC got flack for using it on the air. In the States it's simply considered quaint. But people aren't even really sure what the origin of the usage is: some think it's a contraction of "by our lady," while others think it comes from the oath "By God's blood!"|

Many words are profane only in a certain context. I doubt anyone would object to you saying "Damned if you do, and damned if you don't" but if you use as an oath against someone you're angry with it takes on another role. Many English slang terms for human anatomy have completely innocuous meanings in other contexts, something that occasionally annoys CoH players when selecting names.
Word meanings change constantly, and words considered profane now were completely innocuous at one point, and will become innocuous again in the future.
The word "suck" is an example in America. Forty years ago you would never hear it on TV or radio, and now four-year-olds use and it doesn't raise an eyebrow.

I hear this a lot but its not true. The first use of the "F" word on the BBC was in 65 and that caused a bit of bother but no one was bothered by "Bloody". Unless it was in PlaySchool |

Well, that's why I say "practically nobody". There are still people who consider "crap" to be profanity...

In my case, it's kindergarten reflexes; I teach 5 and 6 year olds so I need to be aware of my language all day.
