>The only expletive my uncle ever used was the word, “dang”. When I was nine years old, one day I said, “dang”, which was heard by a teacher. She was very over weight, white hair, and may have been Methuselah’s mother for all I know. She went ballistic and stated that if I were to use such a terrible word, I might as well say dam, as I was calling upon the Lord God, to condemn someone.
