Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation the.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Pub today the F word is officially boring.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Well, this is what the Hollywood reporter has said. They
said that the moment that the president says it to
a journalist who's holding a microphone in his face, the
F word has, you know, morphed into everyday language. This
is what the President Trump said about Iran and Israel.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
But we have we basically have two countries that have
been fighting so long and so hard that they.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Don't know what they're doing. Do you understand that?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I think that was perfectly used.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Interesting though, that when it's has been used to shock,
to titillate, to horrify, It was an edgy, edgy word.
But when it's in, when the President says it to
a journalist, when you see it more and more in
our movies and on our televisions and in common conversation,
as it lost its punch, is still offended.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
By the eighties, there used to be a lot of
unnecessary swearing. I used to think movies, there's any and
then stand up comedy as well used to way too
much swearing. And then when Seinfeld came along, Jerry Seinfeld
never swore. I remember seeing you one time and he
did actually sweat.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I don't know if I like that, Jerry.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I think it has a lot of power, the F word,
and I'm not going to stand bending around on the rail.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Does it still? It's used so commonly. Do you flinch
when you hear and go oh? Or it has it
become boring? So let's see what you think the F word.
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's used every day. I still drop the F word.
I work at a school and I'm hearing it every
third word from the students that walk up and down.
It's not about the school, it's just about the way
the society runs nowadays. I'm an old guy. I used
to be smacked when I use that sort of word.
If I was brave enough.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
It certainly does.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
It certainly does. I work for a union body, and
it's their words in every second sentence, so it sort
of becomes a little bit of a norm.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I don't think it does. Like personally, I'm not offended
by the F word. I'm in a place for it.
Social etique, it's a very important thing. I think we're
losing that in society. So I feel like, if you know,
keeping things to a time and a place is important
to me.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
The sport doesn't pass the pup tips. It's actually quite
refreshing and nice the system and have a conversation with
somebody that every other second word isn't the F bomb,
but to me the F bomb is no go for me.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Wow, Yes and no. I think that the younger generation
use it just in normal language. I think the older
generations seem to find that Bill has

Speaker 1 (02:34):
That pucha people are so stupid, and then there's that
