But as I get older I find the F-word is getting progressively more offensive.
I dont think Im getting more prudish. I still think the old joke is funny, the one about it being derived from medieval court clerks shorthand, for unlawful carnal knowledge
I think it must specifically be the sound. It literally makes me flinch.
So maybe its acting in the same way as the music of Cliff Richard, or Mozart, or that special hum, are supposed to act by driving groups of teenagers away from wherever they are wont to hang out
A kind of poetic justice
