Nathan Hopsons response to the claim made me laugh.

It seems ridiculous that any language, in its own way, doesn't have a way to curse.

BTW, in that article they point out two curses that I'd never heard - and I thought I've heard them all Roll Eyes : ass face and fuckwad.

Stop spending your life in conferences and visit a local dive.

Don't worry, Proof, once T. Rump is through with the scientific community, Kalleh's conferences will be in dives.

As a group concerned with words, I think we should watch carefully rump's attempts to prevent discussion and ban "controversial" ideas.

I think it's more a matter of "regional" curses - I've spent many an hour in local dives. Wink
