No, I mean what counts as “swearing” in the future.
Imagine traveling to the distance past, when the atmosphere’s composition and temperature are so hostile to you that you need a protective suit and helmet, and then you find out you ran out of fuel and are going to die within a few hours or so.
‘Shoot’ would not be a strong enough word I’d like to use in that situation.
So…. That’s what I meant. 🤗
After guns were banned worldwide the word shoot became seen as a powerfully dark and terrible word while words describing normal body.functions lost shock value especially as improvements in health and diet made the substances themselves less disgusting.
If it was a mild problem he might have said ‘shit’ like we’d say ‘oh god’ which was once seen as real swearing. the puritanism based around sexuality and misogyny is long since faded in their future so fuck, cunt, bitch, are all out, but to evoke images of the bloody conflicts and brutal murders of the past is a real shock to the system like ‘wow this situation is so bad it makes me want to return to the psychotic olden days when people would shoot each other’

Perhaps he viewed it as a fixable problem.
