[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I think of some of the jokes I told and vocabulary I used in high school, I blush--I can't believe I was ever that vulgar.  I have no idea where I picked it up (probably nerd camp!).

Adolescence is a time for trying out new identities, and identities that shock adults are particularly delightful.  I share your disgust, OP, but I also don't think that this is a sign of these kids' utter depravity, and [b]I would be surprised if they still talked this way five years from now[/b].  [/quote]

Not so sure about this. I was in a relationship with a late 30s man whose language was really foul when he was upset or in certain settings (with friends outside work, etc); I found it distasteful. He apparently grew up around folks who talked that way all the time, and was really surprised that I nor any of my friends curse in everyday conversation. After  I expressed my discomfort he would curtail it when we were together. No longer dating this guy, but still FB friends; he is in his 40s now and, from his posts, his language has only gotten fouler. I think he thinks its cool.

FWIW, this guy has a job in education, and never uses profanity professionally, but chooses to use it fairly often in his social life. For some folks foul language is no big deal; others of us find it, well foul ;).[/quote]
