"Self-righteous twit" reporting for duty, sir:

I also think a lot of rugby songs are great, sing "God damn them all" in Barrett's as loudly as anybody, and can use bad language myself if I'm in the crosswalk and some idiot in a car doesn't stop. I could also probably sing "On the Good Ship Venus" if I'd re-learn the words, and I think it's a shame how sea chanteys have been watered down in performance. I also quit a group partly because the director tended to do completely bowdlerized versions of sea songs. That doesn't mean I think it's just fine how vulgar speech permeates everyday life. It doesn't have to.
