I think I know why my 40+ year old son swears so much. I think it’s suppressed from his childhood. When he was 2/3 he had trouble saying his “tr’s”. He pronounced it “f” and was obsessed with cars, lorries, trucks ,tractors
I vividly remember one day in the summer sitting on the farm bus on a day out with him when out of the blue, really loud he shouted “mum mum there’s a big green
duck”, everyone turned around and I said truck he means truck. Then and I could’ve died he shouted out look look at that big black fucker (tractor), if you’ve ever wanted to die of embarrassment, that moment was it. Wouldn’t mind but his dad is black, people must’ve thought it was something he heard at home. Mortifying, completely mortifying and no more trips to the farm until he could speak clearly

Should’ve told him to
