And About the F Word… 

In discussing podcasts, a colleague wrote: ”Oh, Man! I can’t stand listening to a podcast with two old guys throwing the F Word around – like they’re trying to one-up each other with how many times they can say FUCK!”

I agree. Vulgar language – whether on podcasts or anywhere else – is akin to sports cars and beachwear. Some things that work for you when you are young make you look foolish when you are not.

There should be a rule about using the F word as you age. You can use it all you want in your teens… once a day in your 20s… once a week in your 30s… once a month in your 40s… once a year in your 50s. And once you hit your 60s, you should have found another word – like “Fudge!” – that is more age appropriate.
