Re: foul language
An old teacher of mine once said that swearing showed a lack of imagination and a deficit in vocabulary. She was only talking about words like "bloody" at the time too and tried to get us to imagine a graphic image of the described subject everytime we felt like using the word in order to put us off.
As an example, one girl was always late because she "missed the b' bus again!" to which the teacher would reply. "Oh dear, how much blood was there on the bus this morning?"
