Curses!!!

Listening to a monologue, overheard actually, where every other word was 'fuckin' or 'goddamn'... seemed almost musical if not a little ridiculous. Malice-free and habitual, curse words have taken the place of pauses. They fill the gaps in broken thoughts. The 'um' was transitional, and offensive to public speakers. fuck is offensive to old churchgoing ladies and people with small children. Back in the day was speech unbroken? Was it offensive to have gaping holes in a sentence with nothing to glue it all together? Maybe not behind closed doors, but in public! My god, who utters such lapses of synapse in public!! Heavens!!
