Watching duck quacks don't echo and apparently scientists have discovered that people who swear have a bigger vocabulary.

It's not longer uncouth.

Swear away!

There was a vocabulary test doing the rounds on FB the other week and I got like top 0.2% or something, and I used to curse like a sailor before I had kids so there you go. Nowadays I try and soften it and stick to inventive blasphemy and not finishing words off. I have started saying "ah, for pok" which was in the Danish version of Q Pootle 5 that we found in the Danish holiday cottage we stayed in on holiday. Don't worry, I know how much of an arse that makes me sound.
