One thing that confused me was that anglophones and francophones swear in completely different ways.

Anglophones swear referring to body parts and bodily functions (esp. excretion and sex), but francophones swear with religious symbolism: ostie, calice and tabernac, for example.

I think the Tourette team have this one sewn up

Perhaps they should be letting us know their best material :!:

My post doctoral thesis on how to make Goula or Gula, or Sago Pudding was rejected because I used too many swear words. I tried to point out that it was really only one swear word used multiple times, but they wouldn't go for it.

How Do You Make Goula or Gula (or Sago Pudding)?

Ingredients:

2.5 litres/5 pints/10 cups water
300 g/10 oz/2 cups sago
2 Tbsp fresh milk or coconut milk
pinch of salt

Instructions:

Bring the f***ing water to a fast boil and slowly dribble in the f***ing sago. Let it boil fast for 5 to 7 f***ing minutes. Turn off f***ing heat, cover the f***ing pan with a well-fitting lid and leave for 10 f***ing minutes. The f***ing sago will finish cooking in the stored f***ing heat and the f***ing grains will become f***ing clear. Run cold f***ing water into the f***ing pan, stir, then pour the f***ing contents of pan into a f***ing sieve, shaking the f***ing sieve so the f***ing water runs off.

Put f***ing sago into a f***ing bowl, stir in f***ing milk and add f***ing salt. This f***ing quantity of milk is just enough to give it a f***ing pearly white appearance. Divide between individual f***ing dessert dishes or moulds, or pour into one larger f***ing mould and chill.

Serve the f***ing sago accompanied by palm f***ing sugar syrup and f***ing coconut milk in separate f***ing jugs.

Yield: Serves 6 to 8

Actually, this came from an old thread in the Off the Wall forum

B & C words? There are many.

I find bad language as defined as bad grammar. Could of, should of, mixing up they're, there, and their. to, two and too.

I HATE EXCESSIVE USE OF UPPER CASE <- example
