Some of us who grew up in homes where lewd and irreverent language was not allowed often learned pretty fast that the same was not true in every household.

Until about 15 years ago, I can remember being shocked at the words and phrases children used in front of their parents and adults used in public. Nowadays, my senses are pretty much dulled to inappropriate language.
