on swearing well

Have done now with son-of-bitch, jesus, and fuck – a modern sage-scholar does not use such truck. Instead please use fiddlesticks, dog-gone, or snap, perhaps too dagnabit or pishtosh or crap. Avoid then such phrases as shitballs and cunt, instead prefer dingbat and wallop and runt, then strike from the vocabulary foul words, except for gadzooks humbug hobnob and turds. By not saying repulsive words constantly, one builds up a storehouse of honor and clout, which few but the best among us figure out, whose spirits are honest whose hearts are happy.
