Swearing led to learning to swear in other languages.
Learning to swear in other languages served me well as I moved out of North America to teach.
Being out of North American led to me being more humble and less the brash North American. Also, I spent a lot of time with children.
Being less brash and speaking in other languages led me to think more about what I say before saying it.
Thinking about my speech led to downgrading swearing to make a point. I’ll swear, depending on the audience.
Specifically — like L-Boogie said — “I’ll add a MFer so you ign’ant ****s hear me.” (Fugees, The Score, “Zealots”) If I’m cursing, it’s prolly because there’s some ignorance in my area.
I admit, sometimes it’s mine.
Also, the irony is not lost on me that L fell off not too long after this rhyme. Celebrity culture can be a scene full of ignorance. I don’t blame her. I blame the industry.
It was a cycle for me:
Not swearing led to swearing.
