About this episode
How many times a day do you swear, the answer may surprise you (shocked emoji face)! In Episode #193 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the difference between deeply knowing a subject vs being able to communicate on it, my story of accidently insulting someone while trying to give a compliment, insulting nicknames and casual racism, some statistics behind swearing, the actual reasons why people swear and how to be a lake instead of a glass.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
