i admit in advance i'm a bit of a swear bear when left to my own devices,
but truly, people who use silly euphemisms when they want to have a swear
just makes me nuts. i say go the whole hog or control your words - no point

First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not
speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I
was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was
not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no
one left to speak out for me.
