Breaking the profanity barrier

At the conference I’m at, the shit barrier was broken at 1:30. That’s the moment the word “shit” was first used by one of the speakers.

I have only recently begun to collect data on this phenomenon, and look forward to producing many attractive line graphs.

  1. Then, shouldn’t this have been the first of your posts that you “shit”-tagged ?

  2. I have a theory, notice that as soon as you used the word “shit” in your post, Jon immediatly called back another “shit”. And by the end of this sentence, I will have said “shit” three times. So then, here is my forumla… shit I forgot my high school algebra. Oh well, that last “shit” proved my forumla wrong. Regardless, I’m guessing that there will be some sort of exponential increase.

  3. Well, shit, I just had to Google:

  4. I have started noticing this phenomenon in meetings at work as well. I was particlarly proud of myself for saying “fucked up” twice on a conference call yesterday. ;-)

  5. Is it Shit?

    Step One: Google "shit"

    Step Two: Read whatever website google ranks as first.

    Step Three: Tell me

  6. Monkey Pornography

    Stumbled across this fantastic weblog: Philosophy of Biology. The fact that I am not very familiar with biology (as a body of knowledge) makes this find all the better. Anyhow, the reader
