Their study shows that the skills to make up new swear words is very closely related to having high vocabulary and fluency. People with a high IQ tend to have both of these and are hence more adept at coming up with novel swear words.

I've said almost all of those.  That's just run of the mill southern stuff.  My redneck colloquialisms are much more entertaining, but they might actually be what your average sailor or truck driver says with a y'all thrown in here and there.

But like redneck colloquialisms... It is the artful application of the words that make it successful - Anyone can swear like a muleskinner.

Bring it up as a quote. He is changing the font on a middle letter, which for all intents, makes it not the word, and gets it past the filters.

Am I being Gaslighted here? Is anyone else seeing this or is this one of my routine acid flashbacks from the early 90's?
@Frank Cannon

No, I see the F bombs writ large as well.  Must be some kind of formatting @Dexter is engaged with.
