My mother said that when she was a child she remembers someone dropping a tray full of expensive glasses and only saying 'bother'. Times have changed.

It is because when we were kids we never say those kind of words. Well, children nowadays say that kind of language.

I'm much older than you and we used to say such words but only not in public. It's impossible to live without using bad language, don't you agree?

Re: How the word f*ck has become important

I agree to that. We are not perfect so it is impossible to live without sin [in this case using bad language].

That is because I sometimes use bad language myself when I am very angry.
