I like number one (Titanic), but this one I actually believe was uttered by Earhart to her navigator. I really couldn't help but chuckle.
Really uttered first by the Chief of the Fugawi Tribe

I’m with ya. Plus, whilst I was still working, I had to listen to virtually everyone under 30 use it in every sentence (“O my God that’s a beautiful fucking baby!! congrats!”) and so forth.
I understand your plight. However, I do not willfully associate with people who are addicted to profanity--at work or not. If they have "potty mouths" my conversations with them are very short, if at all.

You guys wouldn't make it too long out here at sea.
Oh yeah, been to sea and did O.K. But, that was before the snowflakes made it their favorite word.

I learned that word in second grade at Page Military Academy. That was before I even knew what it was. I hated that @#$%ing school.

I was 25 years old before I ever heard it.

A lifelong anglophile, I have substituted the word "bugger" for the "f" word.
Two things bring me to tears. The unconditional Love of God,the service of the United States Military,past,present,and future.
I would rather meet a slick-sleeve private, than a hollywood star!

And then proceeded to give you a @#$&ing wedgy.
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Hey, I use it. Fairly often. But it has to be used correctly and artfully . For these 20-30 year old douchebags it is literally every other 3rd word. It's not that word exactly, it's like people who say "you know" at the beginning and end of each sentence and sometimes in the middle. "You know, I think I'm having, you know, a stroke or something, you know?" NO WORD should be used that often. And they are all people who took advantage of "counseling" offered by Duke when Trump was elected, I'm told. It really can just be about who uses it. Sailors are fine.

I did my first active duty for training as a brand new 18 yo RM3 on a reserve DE in New Orleans. We went to New York and back. There were only two of us radio ops, so we were port and starboard watches, breakfast to lunch, dinner to midnight. When you were off watch, you could eat and sleep as necessary.
There was a BM3, obese, ignorant, vile, who was mess deck master at arms. To him, a skinny, red headed, 18 yo petty officer who could do as he pleased was an abomination against nature, an insult to existing order, troubling to the depth of what in most people would be his soul. He had the most astonishing vocabulary of anyone I had encountered before or in the 55 years since, f-bombs as every part of speech, verb, adverb, adjective, noun, every tense, past, present, or future. Even the sight of me coming into the mess deck to eat set him off in a tirade of dark blue invective.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
