Today, as I do every Wednesday, I read the online chat with the Washington Post's restaurant critic. Everything was going along pretty much normally, until I got to the chat's penultimate comment:
What's with all the profanity today?: Several people have made references to a dining experience "sucking." In my day, that term referred to something that Monica Lewinsky did that would CERTAINLY make for an unusual dining experience. Come on, people, can't we keep it clean?
Is "suck" really a bad word? I can't imagine that it is; I mean, my mom was fine with me saying it, and she once told me that she felt that women shouldn't swear. She yelled at me for using the word "schmuck." Maybe I'm just a bit wilder than I thought. Or maybe this person is a bit too sensitive. I'd hate to see how he/she reacts to the amount of casual swearing one hears nowadays.
