Since we have included voluntary swearing in this thread, I once was salmon fishing on The Sou'west Miramichi river in NB, Canada. I heard someone coming along the river trail and it was a dewey morn. He slipped and fell on the muddy trail and I heard a string of profanity that I heave never heard equalled before or since. Everything from venereal disease to *censored* was included. It was pure poetry.

I had heard about this man's abilities before but it was a rare encounter with Ted Williams, the great American baseball player. The swearing was a show for me but watching him cast a salmon fly was far more poetic. A master of fly fishing. Truly a joy to watch.

This song seems appropriate: Pee po belly bum drawers -- Flanders and Swann

"Ma's out, Pa's out, Let's talk rude!
Pee Po Belly Bum Drawers..."

My First Sergeant and our Chaplin were busily nailing up some casual fixture from the ubiquitous 105mm artillery crates that were our standard source of scrap lumber in Viet Nam. The Chaplin slipped and hit his thumb with the hammer. His pain was evident as he growled: "Sergeant, would you say a few words?" The Sergeant without hesitation ripped off a string of words that turned the air blue and blistered paint on the crates. The Chaplin, ruefully shaking his hand, said "Thank you, Sergeant, thank you. It really does seem to help a little bit!"

About 30 years ago I was driving home from work with a co-worker through a snow storm when I lost control of the car and we slid into the ditch. Roger, my passenger said to me the next day, "Do you remember what you said as we were headed towards the ditch?" I didn't. He said, "You said 'Fuckadameechee!' I haven't heard that since high school."

Around the turn of the century I was in a folk club. A friend who missed a boring non-productive meeting asked me what we got accomplished. I said, "Dick all." Another one he hadn't heard since high school. We later played in a quartet which we called Dick All. Oddly enough, none of us were named Dick.

'Tit-holes!' is another one I find myself exclaiming sometimes. No idea where it came from; or what it might acutally mean ~~ I don't think I have any thoughts of lactation in mind...
