Nicholas Cage hosts a look at the history of swear words. I've seen the first episode, the F bomb. I thought Cage was hilarious. The discussion is a bit uneven but overall it was fun and enlightening. I recommend it. The linguist on "Fresh Air" discussed the use of obscenity and profanity on "Deadwood" and said the use of the F bomb on the show was out of place. It was not acceptable language, but it wasn't the worst. Cursing God was the worst. A really foul-mouthed person would sound like Yosemite Sam. But the experts they had on the show said it's been one of the worst things to say for hundreds of years.
