Swearing as a sign of inarticulacy is a popular misconception. Fluency in profanity correlates with fluency in broader verbal use:

Traditional Irish ways to admire someone's profanity:
—They'd swear a hole in an iron pot
—They'd curse the bladder out of a goat
—They'd quench a candle the other side of the kitchen

"...jumping around, skipping like a dipshit"

Tim Walz's line got laughs and attention, much of it thanks to the cutely sweary word "dipshit". @Fritinancy analyses it on the blog:

"What makes this word so appealing? The near-rhyme — dip, shit — may account for some of it."

@Fritinancy writes about the newly topical "dipshit". On the blog: https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2024/10/26/skippin-like-a-dipshit/

Phone calls today are going about as delightful and productive as you'd expect!

Marked sensitive for lotsa profanity.

Some opportunities in prisons are open only to prisoners with clean disciplinary records. This sounds reasonable in principle, but people may be surprised to learn just how mundane some infractions are. One of the guys we send books to has infractions on his record that include "profane language", "possess excess stamps" and "possess audio/video/image device". How many of us could honestly say we've never done any of these things?
