One way to curse someone, withoutcursing: "I am very sorry Sir. Unfortunatly I don't have the words to discribe you, without being utterly disrespectfull."
If I may ask and forgive my momentary ignorance, but what does 'elo' mean? I've been seeing it a lot lately due to Marvel Rivals, yet I haven't the foggiest as to its meaning.
@@DaidriveCJ By the gods, you don’t know what “elo” means? It’s a rating system that calculates player skill levels compared to others. Look up the “elo rating system” now, you stock-fish!
@@entangledatoms7153 I'm guessing that it does apply to me as I'm still not the best at the game yet at least not well enough to progress in any significant and continual way in Competitive/Ranked mode.

One could argue that a gentleman will always find a better way to express himself than cursing, yet we all must also concede that cursing is here to stay.
always do call a vile philistine a vile philistine, they hate being called out for what they truly are and will recoil with horror, muttering _"i've been found out!"_ 😏👆
@bricklink5493 But that is where the name Palestine comes from. Can you then tell from what other nation it comes from? Europeans from Rome re-named Judea as Palestine after the Philistines to insult the Jews after they ethnically cleansed the land of Jews after 135 CE.
It's very important to note that if written, it should be "for f*ck's sake" or "for f*cks' sake" depending on if the sake belongs to one or more f*cks. It's never "for f*cks sake"
Respectfully, may I disagree? Correctly spoken the expression should be "Oh for God's sake!" Or "Oh for Christ's sake!" The expression as written above makes no sense.
I respectfully disagree with your respectful disagreement. There's quite a well documented phenomenon of anatomical/scatological words replacing religious words swearing over the last couple hundred years. It correlates with the general decline of the role religion plays in society over the same period, meaning that invoking deity is seen as less serious, and thus less impactful. For example, swearing "by God's bones" in medieval England might have been enough to warrant severe punishment, whereas today I doubt you would find anyone who finds it more offensive than the f word.
My favorite example of this was in the movie "The Brothers O'Toole " John Astin's character gave a two-minute rant without a single foul word that won the town cursing contest!😂
My grandmother said that term with all the love in the world, so when I hear it said “Southern style” I am fully aware of how witchy and almost blasphemous it is. Ironically, I was desensitized to most swearing in childhood. But a sarcastic “bless her heart” violates the memory of a beloved woman every time!
I cannot believe the effort that went into making this video, I take my hay off to you Sir. Also this video should be shown to all young men at school these days.
I believe the taboo on swearing in front of women was less about infantilisation and more about respect. You do not swear in front of your grandparents, for example, not because you do not think that they can take it, but because it is disrespectful and rude.
My favorite is "You really do give your best everyday don't you?" Or if the person really pisses me off I go with the "apologize to the tree that converts your co2"
In the Cary Grant movie “Arsenic and Old Lace,” he uses “diabetes!” as a curse word. This kind of cursing is otherwise unknown in the US, but maybe it’s time to introduce it!
I think it should be added that you can also find many creative alternatives to common curse words. For exapmle, if my husband said "billions of billious blue blistering barnacles!" instead of "F^&%!" when he stubs his toe, I wouldn't mind so much. Lots of good examples in Jeeves and Wooster: "Dash it all!" "Blast!" "Blithering idiot" ect. I personally like to use the Yosemite Sam gibbeish: dirtyrakkkenfrakkensassafrakka
It’s been about 3 years since I promised God I would never swear again. I have only offended that promise once in that span, let’s hope I can go the next three years without swearing.
I think I speak for everyone when I say a Gentlemen's Gazette Stock Footage Library would be popular and funny. Would you be able to collect all the insert shots of your shenanigans and make it available for us to purchase?
I myself honestly never swear and instead try to come up with some strange and outdated phrases that can pass for ordinary words to an untrained ear, but if someone has a certain amount of knowledge, they will catch that I am insulting them. Besides, it's much more fun than throwing three well known words straight from the black ghetto and be considered rather uneloquent.
Italian religiologist Massimo Introvigne said, at least online, that the term "criminal religious movement" is a more accurate and useful category than the term "cult" used as a term of abuse against unpopular religious groups. (In some other languages, "sect" is the term of abuse used.)
I personally ascribe to not using any curse words, however I catch myself using euphemisms when I'd prefer not to. In part because of personally held convictions, but also because I find it much more amusing to confound the user of such language with my own vocabulary and diction skills. The video was still quite amusing, and I suspect Preston and I would have a marvelous conversation without such explicit word choice. Cheers to another good video! Long time subscriber, first time commenting ✌️
I was taught in school that cursing was the sign of a confused mind trying to express itself. As an example, If I don't meet this deadline I'm f---ed. A more accurate way of saying it might be, I could lose my job, I could get fired, or I might not get paid.
My stance on it seems to be repeated here. My stance being: There's a time and a place for cursing, but swearing loses its value if it is used carelessly or without due cause. However, if it is used properly, it is a powerful tool for communication.
This is a trivia point, but in the one scene where the two men are on the settee with the woman, it breaches gentlemanly etiquette that the one wears his hat, not only while indoors, but whilst seated with a lady. As to expressive outbursts, sometimes oblique reference to them renders more emphasis than the words themselves, as in this example: "These circumstances are so exasperating as to render their description too explicit for expression in company! Please excuse me." Then the party in question departs, post-haste, without the hat, coat, gloves, or walking-stick, implying no intent at departure and thus, no personal insult. After a reasonable interval, the party returns. "Thank you very much. Where were we?"
I typically use curses in these manners but I tend to use them as adjectives and or filler words. Another gentlemen’s aspect is to never use a double curse such as F’ing F and so on cause it sounds incompetent.
I curse very less, not that I learnd that it is so bad. I made my inner peace, with inhale methods, to get to my inner chi. So in most situations i stay really calm and more quiet. So yes, even as a german, can be a gentleman with less or without cursing ;-)
Haha, this was a fun one 😂 I completely agree about swearing too much making it loose it's potency. Some of my coworkers swear all the time and no one bats an eye; I don't curse often (at least, out loud 😂) and when I do it really grabs people's attention because they aren't used to hearing me swear 🙃
I agree. If you have to resort to expletives to get your point across, you are simply not employing enough imagination or you have a limited vocabulary.
I agree with all the points made in the video, but unfortunately growing up in the Boston area cursing was added in the same way you would punctuate a sentence.
Hello Gentleman's Gazette , a question? Why did you stop dubbing your videos into Spanish, I see that the last one in Spanish is the one that talked about canes, I await your response Best regards from Mexico
Because youtube is offering autodubbing and rolling it out in Spanish and other languages. Also, it was expensive to do, people complained because it was not their Spanish accent, and it was economically not a viable endeavor.
I like the Billy Connolly line about swearing in front of little old ladies: If the truth is known, they've not only said it before, they've done it as well!
I shall be cursing in cursive from now on.
So, Shakespearean insults only? Nice.
I mean cursive was literally invented for cursing. That's why it's called cursive! 😂

What a pleasant surprise. I couldn’t help but read that in his voice.
This is why I created a word "cussflation", which explains the benefits of not swearing as often through the basic law of supply and demand.
I like that but I'm a freedom of speech radicalist
The gentlemanly apology: pardon my French.
Execution has improved effect when speaking in French.

One finds "How frightfully inconvenient" suffices.

As a retired Army CAV soldier I’ll need to watch this a few more times 😂😅
I use old timey curse words, but they usually describe specific groups of people
I know an old man who describes a hammer as a “Portagee monkey wrench.” It is the only slur against the Portuguese people that I have ever heard.
In the South you can say "bless your heart", and it has more than one meaning.
As someone from a northern state I find this hilarious cause it’s like “bless your heart 😊” or “Bless-Your-Heart 😡” 😂😂😂
Oh yea. I’ve heard that one many times.
My grandmother said that term with all the love in the world, so when I hear it said “Southern style” I am fully aware of how witchy and almost blasphemous it is.

Colorful language works best like strong spices. Best used in proper context.

Thank you, I will make sure to use this to impress my great-grandmother at family dinner. She will finally see what a gentleman I am.
A gentleman will call a cat "cat" even when accidentally steps on it.
A true gentleman would also apologize to the cat for stepping on it.

In the Netherlands we take pride in our fine tradition of cursing with deseases. 👍🏻
In the Cary Grant movie “Arsenic and Old Lace,” he uses “diabetes!” as a curse word. This kind of cursing is otherwise unknown in the US, but maybe it’s time to introduce it!
If you have any colleagues in Australia, they might want to produce their own companion video; the rules there seem to be slightly different. 😂
Every four or five words in your first conversation with a stranger can be a swear word here and nobody would bat an eye.
For a curse word to remain potent, the taboo needs to be preserved so I am fine with some censorship in that regard.
Just make sure, tone is everything!
Alright you win, that intro has me hooked into the rest of the video.
“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”
You truly never know what GG will put out next. I am sure you all enjoyed making this video, keep up the surprises like these!
