Just watched tonight’s episode of discovery and it got all potty mouthed. I had to double take as I’m fairly sure they have never sworn on the show… might be wrong?
Surely they could be a bit inventive and not rely on common or garden terms. I noticed the potential for one reading this morning’s Independent: an act of CarlyLunngus.
Not to be a snoutband triptaker, but it seems a bit daft to think that in 2255 people will still be using 2017 swear words, especially after meeting so many other species with different languages.

Well that’s true mike – but I think that’s an allowable concession.
If they were all speaking a futuristic Mandarin/Spanish/English/Urdu/Vulcan hybrid pidgin language then it might be more realistic but it would get a bit wearing. 😀
It seems a bit daft to think that a fictional science fiction series set in 2255 would worry too much about the future linguistic evolution of swear words.

I’m more confused that they name dropped Elon Musk who, on the grand scale of things, hasn’t yet done anything as monumental as the wrist brothers (First successful plane (I know there is debate around that)) and Zefram Cochrane who invented the first warp drive.
Elon Musk has done some real cool shit don’t get me wrong, but he’s not invented anything on the scale of plane flight or faster than light space travel. Yet, anyway.

He’s taken self promotion of one’s ego to new heights? 😆
