It's a bad habit, by the way.
I still remember one episode from 30+ years ago. I rode a bicycle with my buddies and had to brake hard. My bicycle had only the front brake working, so the rear wheel rose in the air and swung. Towards a young woman walking with her kids. It didn't touch her, but she blathered. I felt easy and wanted to apologize. Really. To be polite.
And I did. But, absolutely unintentionally, added a very offensive, insulting word I was so used to use with those buddies of mine. It was an extremely awkward moment for me (as I delivered just the opposite to what I meant
). And I thought I should control my language better.
