Hugo is disappointed there is no Stw. Although I'm not really sure that is a swearword.

My spouse, who I was told was a "shy and nerdly British scientist" is anything but that! He is teaching me, a shy and nerdly American scientist, how to swear like a Brit, something that inspired me to share this video with you.

Rights are cute ideas. Rights aren't rights at all if someone can take them away. 'God-given rights' are due to the god excuse: if god really gave you rights, he would have given you the right to have food every day and a roof over your head. But god is not (obviously!) taking care of you at all.

Okay, I had to do it, didn't I? As many of you know, learning swear words in different languages is one of my hobbies, which I often indulge in while drinking beers at a local pub, although I also enjoy digging up and posting videos on this topic as well. I suppose the correct question is; why did it take me so long to dig up this video and post it?
As an added bonus, this German rock song has English subtitles so you can also learn the lyrics to that.

This is Stephen Fry, waxing eloquent on the joys of swearing. Since this is British swearing, I find it amusing but not terribly offensive (I think Americans are much better at swearing).
