EVERY word was fuck. And every other word was "cocksucker"

I do agree that proper language trumps vulgarity any day of the week. But I don't believe in romanticized versions of the past. I'm positive that "ordinary" people always cursed heavily.
Saw every episode of "Deadwood" and got realy pissed off when they cancelled it! If you notice though, in "Deadwood", even the town dummies spoke in the flowery, sort of Victorian language usages of the time, which usages were much more communicative and descriptive that what we use today, I think. Even the not-so-common cursed heavily all the time, just not in public as we do toady. Not saying they were better, only different.
