    When Admiral Clancy drops an F-bomb, the person she drops it on puts money in the jar.

    Wouldn't it be 25 centicredits? Or is that 400 years of inflation at work?

    So I guess that's why Admiral Clancy is cussing; since they don't use money in the 24th century there is nothing to dock.:angel::rommie:

    There's a swear jar in the officers lounge.

    Two slips of gold-pressed latinum for "fuck" as a modifier, three slips for "fuck" as a verb. One slip for "shit" as an exclamation. But if you're just saying you have to *take* a shit, that's free with a receipt from waste extraction. Hells and damns are also free. 10 strips for "cunt" unless you say it in a British accent, in that case it's only 2.

    And what's the penalty for "feck"? Asking for an Irish Romulan friend.

    I love Fleet Admiral Clancy. I think she's brilliant. I hope nothing bad happens to her (looking at you, Commodore Oh!).

    And vise versa. :)

    (And, yes, I shamelessly stole that joke from the great Dorothy Parker.)

    How is it relevant how you talk when this is about a fictional character behaving unlike a 24th century human?

    Really?

    And just exactly how *does* a 24th Century human behave...?

    There are, I admit, a number of things about this show, a number of creative choices, that I find slightly jarring but, honestly, it *is* just a bloody TV show and none of them are deal-breakers — and this sure isn’t one of them anyway!

    I’ve never understood how people can blithely tolerate casual depictions of violence, death, misogyny, racism, and any number of deeply unpleasant human behaviours — and yet completely lose their sh*t over the occasional use of an expletive that is in common use all over the planet, every day, and has been part of our shared linguistic heritage for hundreds of years and may have etymological roots that go back thousands of years!

    Oh, God. 10-to-1 you didn't give a shit about when McCoy said "You really piss me off, Jim" in TFF. I also bet you didn't give a shit when Picard said "Merde" in "The Last Outpost". Try again. You're being outraged just to be outraged.

    You want to know why they didn't drop F-bombs before? It's the reason you don't like but that doesn't make it less true: the FCC wouldn't have allowed them to use it on broadcast television. And you couldn't use it in movies that are rated PG. You can drop one, non-sexual F-bomb in a PG-13 movie, or so the myth goes, but First Contact and Nemesis didn't go that way. Doesn't mean they can't ever.

    Don't even try to tell me you don't know what Leah Brahams really wanted to say when she said, "So you're the one who fouled up my engines" to Geordi in "Galaxy's Child". With the way she said it, you know what she would've said if it wasn't a censored medium just as much as I do.

    Honestly, I'm surprised at how many folks still seem to think profanity is a primitive social evil, akin to war or poverty, that humans are supposed to "evolve" beyond. Which, honestly, seems to be rooted in the dubious notion that swearing is somehow a sign of poor breeding or intelligence or whatever.

    As though the 24th Century is apparently a tea party hosted by some stuffy grande dame played by Margaret Dumont, who gets the vapors at the slightest hint of "vulgarity." :)
