If you met me, a white haired almost 69 yo short woman,
you might not expect how foul my mouth can be. I have been erratic over the years over which curse words I am willing to use. A great guy in college over 50 years ago wore me down chanting the "f" word in my ear until he heard me saying it. I gave it up again for awhile, but sometimes it is the only one that fits the occasion.
The last few times I have seen video of Trey Gowdy speaking in the US House of Representatives he has said a variety of mild curse words....damn, hell, shit. Yesterday in a hearing he said : I do not give a damn. In personal and social situations these words pass right by. HOWEVER: This is his workplace, it is televised and he is supposed to be representing the people who elected him.
If I managed for 37 years to not curse in my job ( and trust me there were millions of reasons and opportunities), he should be able to do the same.
**** him.

This was thread-worthy on DU?

If Hollywood was able to get “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” past the censers in 1939, then I hardly think that a “damn” in the House of Representatives in 2018 is worth any hoopla.
And as an aside, I’ve cursed more since I became a nurse 6 years ago than I did in my entire life before my career change. There are few times that “****” is more appropriate than when your realize that your fresh open heart patient just dumped half a liter of blood in their chest tube. Or when you look up at the monitor for the patient you are giving in report on and see that their heart rate just dropped to the 20’s. Rarely in front of patients, but most of my coworkers have heard me curse at this point.

I doubt those are the principle events that inspired TNNurse's F-bombs, and I'm guessing she's retired now. She's probably the sort of Prog who cannot say the names "Reagan", "Bush", or "Trump" without appending an F-bomb before and/or after.

You are a DUmmie, we sort of expect it.

Milady, I think--and I doubt anyone here would disagree--that those occurrences warrant the use of a 'colorful metaphor.' :whistling:

You are not a short 69 yo woman with white hair are you?
;)

So here's what I got out of this. She's 69 years old and has a 37 year work experience. That means she didn't start working until 32. Did mom and dad finally kick her out of the basement. I'm 58, I have 42 years of work experience

And DUmbass, while you waste all this energy on hate and other negativity, the beauty of it all is that President Trump has no idea who you are and whether you exist.

She probably started working at 23 and "retired" at 60 when she went on disability. The typical DUmmie career path although most skip the working part and go right to disability.

That description of herself made me think of Radagast from the Hobbit

"Damn" is a "curse" word?
I imagine you are being sarcastic...
But, just in case:
The full meaning of the word is a request made to the Almighty that, whatever entity is named following the word (or a spoken or silent "it", while retaining the identity of the "it" in your mind) be damned to an eternity in Hell.
I try not to use it, or any name of a holy Person or thing (and yes, Hell is holy).
Mere vulgarity, ancient English superseded by civilized French after 1066, is fair game to me though I limit its use in polite company lest I be mistaken for a shit-head.
