sit around swearing
properly excellently
to lessen the pain
From the article, “The ultimate swearword: an algorithm has come up with the ‘best’ expletive ever. It is certainly a surprise“, in the Guardian that states:
Perhaps it’s reassuring that the best mathematics can come up with sounds so rubbish. When AI has taken all our jobs, at least we can sit around doing nothing except swearing – properly and excellently – at each other. To lessen the pain.
I am reminded on Mark Twain on swearing.
He had some good ones.
“Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.“
And …
“When angry count four; when very angry, swear.“
My favorite quote comes from the play, Inherit the Wind, where Henry Drummond, the lawyer modelled after Clarence Darrow says:
“I don’t swear for the hell of it.
Language is a poor enough means of communication.
We’ve got to use all the words we’ve got.
Besides, there are damn few words anybody understands.”
