I have always had an admiration for those who can artfully use language without having to resort to "blue" words. There was an old drinking buddy of mine who was not well educated in the sense of degrees and old college ties, but very well read and knowledgeable. Once someone once asked him why he seldom, if ever, used swear words. He replied there was more satisfaction in eviscerating someone with word craft than just merely using cuss words; he compared it to fighting with a gun as opposed to a knife: the gun is quick and brutal, but essentially too quick, whereas a knife allows one to sort of slice and dice, prolonging the agony of the target...
