The Second Act - One Hell of a Roar

Profanity derives much of its power from the fact that it is unacceptable. This has been labeled the profanity paradox. The worse the word is thought to be, the more effective it is in getting someone’s attention and evoking an emotional response. Thus, when you want to get someone’s attention, profanity can be an effective tool. As a hobby, I occasionally write stories, scripts, and song lyrics. And sometimes, I include a bad word or two. But I use them carefully.
