Prof. McWhorter -- has there been any research on the parental curse filter that seems to turn on as soon as you have kids? I noticed that I never 'cursed' in front of my kids (at least until they grew up a little). I think it was unconscious, and I wonder what the psychology behind that is and what it signifies in terms of the function of cursing.
