I felt like I was in that bar. Wonderful descriptions of the whole event. I don't know what antediluvian means, but I'm not going to look it up because I just like the way it sounds 😁

As a former radio dj, who slipped more than once with one of the 7 naughty words, I love absolutely this story. My favorite was at the end of Who Are You by The Who, “hey. I didn’t know he said f&$k there!” The world did not end.

Interesting reading, short but enough to make you want to read more

I imagine that the first time a swear word/curse was heard on the media it must have had a similar energetic effect. Now, the F-word is normal, along with all the other bleep-able words. Of course to us Irish it always was but I’m glad you all are catching up. 😀 A great story, and thought-provoking!

I wasn’t expecting that. I guess words are powerful after all. 😉

If it worked that way we would be goners. Have you listened to the January 6 Committee hearings. Lots more slips through

Enjoyed it! Your build-up is always well done.

No one person should have that much responsibility. A back up or team should work at such an important job if it means the end of the world when a mistake is made.
