Marilyn's Photos - Apr 6 2026 After Easter Swearing
This morning's Globe and Mail front page headline today says that on Easter: Trump issues profane threat to Iran over blocked strait.
The New York Times say this: In an expletive-filled social media post, Mr. Trump said Iran should open the Strait of Hormuz or he will bomb bridges and power plants.
What about the Washington Post? Trump threatens Iran with "Hell" over Strait of Hormuz in profane post. Another quote says: "open the Fuckin/Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH".
NPR says: Trump unleashes curse-filled social media rant at Iran.
I then went over to the BBC PIDGIN English site - but also no news of the profanity there. BBC Normal has several YouTube articles on it.
We Canadians haven't grown as used to profanity and hyperbole from leaders. There are articles that have gone on for years about Trumpian profanities and Americans in the crowds cheer it on. It must be our British heritage, as we don't seem to be going down that path. I guess it has been around a while as there are a lot of jAmerican-style jokes on the subject of profanity itself:
A pastor’s wife walks into a butcher shop. She sees the most perfect looking cut of meat in the display case and asks the butcher what kind of meat it is. “That’s Dam Ham,” he replies “I bet your PARDON?!” the lady says, “I am a good Christian woman, and I would kindly ask you not to use that kind of language.” The butcher explains, “Oh no ma’am, I’m not using profanity. Dam Ham is what we call the especially delicious filets we get from the big trout caught down by the dam.” The woman apologizes for the misunderstanding, buys the filet, and goes home.
Later that evening, her husband comes home from work and asks, “What is that Heavenly smell?” “Thats Dam Ham,” she replies. “Honey! What would the congregation think if they knew their pastor’s wife was speaking in such a way?” “Oh no honey, I would never!” She responds “They call it Dam Ham because it’s a special filet from one of the big trout caught down by the dam.” She finishes dinner and they sit down at the table with their two beautiful children. They join hands and say grace. The husband carves the meat, takes some for himself, then passes the plate to his son. After taking his first bite, the husband says, “Honey, you’ve really outdone yourself. This Dam Ham is delicious!
“Right on, Dad!” The son says “Now could you pass the fucking potatoes?”
