Nor do I.
Some words, depending the volume, tone, and direction, are almost automatic no-nos.
For an F-bomb loud enough to be heard by the fans, I would only consider passing for the profanity if yelled as instinctual response to a severe injury.
That being said, F-bombs seem to have become socially acceptable. On television, in movies, on social media, (Twitter, Instagram, etc.), said by both ladies and gentlemen.
The first and only time I said it front of my parents, I got my mouth washed out with soap.
It's not a regular part of my vocabulary, but as times change, social mores change, but I'm an old fart, and I hate the word.
Living in a state that worships former UCONN coach and potty-mouthed Jim Calhoun, some words become overused, people become desensitized to them, and the words become less effective in getting one's attention.
