This discussion brought to my mind the quote (don't know who said
it):
“Obscenity is the sign of a weak mind trying to express itself
forcibly.”
However, I must admit I've known many people who have brilliant
minds that tend to enjoy using obscenity, so this cannot be
entirely true. However, I do think the quote has some truth to
it as sometimes obscenity is used to add force to an argument,
when perhaps a little more thought would have simply produced a
better argument.
In honour of Nick through, I would like to end with a variation
on the above quote that he might enjoy more (of course, I have
removed the obscenity).
“Obscenity is the crutch of inarticulate $#@%!^%%$%ers.”
