So then, the bottom line is that you're a hypocrite.
You think everyone in America should share your ideas about "foul words in the English language", which is based on some totally arbitrary mid-20th century American Christian interpretation of the Bible.
Old is how you are acting, why wouldn't they call you old? Me, I'm 47...I ride motorcycles, I hang glide, I backpack, I scuba dive, I run marathons, I practice martial arts, and I do a lot of things that most women my age can't or won't do. I'll never be "old" because I embrace and love life and all the things it has for me. Yes, my lived years will increase, but that's what they'll be -- LIVED. Not wasted on being old.
And if I die by driving my motorcycle into the front of a semi and splattering myself across the road, or my parachute failing to open and making me a 1" thick red carcass on the ground, my kids will wipe the tears from their eyes and say with bittersweet humor "Yeah, that was mom, and she would have laughed at the thought of going out in such a spectacular fashion!" And then they'll go to my death party (yes, PARTY) and they'll rock out with the band, drink heavily, and eat great food with all my friends. And if I'm lucky, at least one of my friends will get smashed enough to mistake my casket for the loo and whiz on me before I'm buried.
No, you wouldn't hang out with us because of our beliefs, you wouldn't hang out with us because we are considered Seniors! By the way, ever heard of the statement, "Respect your elders!".........guess not!
Seniors? You said you and your wife are 60 and 61. I don't consider that old or senior. You hopefully have another 20-30+ years ahead of you. It sound like you have already given up on life.
And how do you even know the ages of the posters here? I am 46 so not that far behind you. And I will definitely not consider myself a senior in 15 years!

Age has nothing to do with this topic...I'm 69, and have no problem words of any kind, unless they are used to demean or insult, and that can be done with the language you approve of ...Cussin' not required.

I agree, I'm 60 and I often swear just for sport. I amuse myself by inventing new swear word phrases. As I said before I wouldn't talk like that in front of children or people like my Mother but when I sit here by myself and maybe read some post I think is stupid I'll rattle off whatever foul mouthed comment that comes to mind. You should try it, it's fun!
I have never been comfortable with cussing, and as a result seldom break out in a volley of **@!** in printed form or verbal. It just never sounds or feels right.
In my case I am sure it was how my parents and grand parents enforced the no cussing rules. It worked, and today it is just natural for me to find another adjective to make my point.

Jesus Christ, I would never guessed you were 69. Way to go, keep giving them hell!
