Back in the 90s, I ran a very silly fantasy hockey league, with silly teams doing silly things in silly locations. (I wrote the simulator myself.) We used fictitious players so we would not be tied to the NHL's schedule, and could power through a full season in a couple of months.
As commissioner, I was supposed to be neutral, but I did run a joke team of my own as a way of helping out newbies who needed to be rescued with timely trades. At one point I moved my team to Quebec City. That was right after Quebec lost the Nordiques to Colorado, and the former Nordiques traded for Patrick Roy and won the Stanley Cup.
As a tribute to the Nords' long-suffering fans, I renamed my team the Quebec Tabarnacs.
(Their farm team, of course, was the Salt Lake City Tabernacles.)

I remember being on a well one time where the driller used the word f*** constantly. On one occasion he was having a problem with some of the equipment and in a state of frustration cried out, "the f***ing f***er is f***ed". We all had a good laugh.
That basxxxrd made me laugh!
Certain words are generational; my father’s favourite was bastxxxd , my teenage years got ####e, and now the whole world is fcuked .
I trained myself to not swear in front of children or in mixed company. The filth that spews out of my middle-aged children shocks me to this day. I am still waiting for the first time my grandchildren curse in my presence.

It's not filth, it's creativity with the English language. Give them kudos next time.
When my first kid who is now in his twenties was 10, he tried to drop his first angry F-Bomb during a board game and it came out Fuh-cu(c)k!That's the only way I pronounce it now.
Edit: Wow, can't believe that word is censored. Must be a story behind that.
Some of my favourite swears come from people who are ESL because they can put together some of the strangest combinations of swearing together that are nonsensical but with such fervor that it’s almost impossible to not laugh. Years ago on a construction site I had a co worker who called another guy on site a “dumb*** b****f***” where the b-f were pronounced as one word. I burst out laughing, it was great.
YouTube links still aren’t working and I’m not sure why, boo.

An ex-military friend of mine once used the F-word and its derivaties eight times in a 10-word sentence. Grammatically, I might add.
