Australia may be well known for the plethora of unfriendly animals that want to bite you or do you in like snakes, spiders, sharks, crocodiles, and drop bears; but now here is something else you can beware of.

The Australian Swearing Owl more commonly known as the Frogmouth Owl, will help to make your stay here upsetting and enraging. Hunting by night the owl will sit in a tree by day and spend the whole time swearing and cursing loudly and profusely. This, along with its huge beak, distinguishes it from the beautiful and cultured owls found in the #NorthernHemisphere.

It has an incredible vocabulary consisting solely of the foulest and most disgusting language, particularly if tourists are known to be in the area.

That time when Ken Dilanian lost connection with the studio but NOT the video feed.

Afterwards he issued a public statement: “So sorry for the profanity I used on air last hour. I was experiencing some technical difficulties and mistakenly hung up on the control room, though my mic still was on. Perils of playing producer, cameraman and tech support all at the same time from home.”

The other day I was watching a video with Jordan Peterson in it. If you've ever listened to him, you know that he uses moderately strong expletives every so often while talking. This time though, as he was breaking down a problem, he went to say something about people who live only for temporary pleasure, and just when I thought he was about to use an expletive, he slowed down a bit, and then carefully and thoughtfully described exactly why living only for temporary pleasure is harmful. What he ended up saying was far more insightful and helpful than what I thought he was going to say.

This made me realize one of the core reasons why expletives are harmful. They use a mentally jarring term to gloss over an actual problem. I can say that someone treated me like poop, or I can say what they actually did to me. The latter is far more powerful, honest, and helps people understand what's wrong with something. The former doesn't even give whoever you're talking to a general idea of what's happening. All they know is that you perceived it as negative - they have no idea if that perception is reasonable, what actually happened, or what they should do in response.

This video warms my heart. Cussing is good for the soul, and it’s empowering.

To folks who get angry about this, my advance retort is that I’d rather have young girls learning to cuss than learning to be door mats.

🔥💪🏻✊🏻
