Blue Language for Blue Cold

I wrote the following blog and I think the post that I read is a hoax from a source written for entertainment value. Well here in the USA, most of our news is more for entertainment than real news so I believed it, and the language that I hear is shocking also and getting bluer at a rapid rate.

I just read some really bad language, shocking bad, but also you may agree with the weather person, A Ms. Kirkwood in the UK where the temperature was Minus 10 degrees on the heath in Scotland. I don’t think I am allowed to post her language.
It was colorful. ” Cold as an Eskimos’s arse. Cold as a witch’s tit” I may be able to say here. The four letter “f” word was said and repeated. Should language like that be acceptable?

It seems to depend on the circumstances. She won’t be fired, because “it was that cold”. I think this weather person did not like being sent to traipse over the moors to give a weather report. She said. “I am a scientist not a penguin”. I have made some conclusions and people in the UK may know more about it, but if the facts are sufficient, how do you feel about the weather and the words?

This weather person gave everybody words to describe extreme weather. I don’t dare print all of what was said. I am having cold weather right now but we almost never get minus degree weather. Extreme cold and being thrown out in them may be enough to justify that language. Or maybe not.

I cannot imagine our weather people saying this and not being bleeped off. I am grateful for a better vocabulary to describe the cold. I can use “colder than an Eskimo’s arse” and I had not heard that before and if I were out on the heath in Scotland in minus 10 degrees, I might have to curse a blue streak. How about you,
but should a broadcaster do it and not get fired?

  1. Hi Rose, I think maybe you have been reading spoof weather reports, there is an Irish weather report around and it’s hilarious, language colourful but not too bad……..our serious weather reporters, no way would bad language be used, they may utter a few curses under their breath for having to be out in the bad weather, but nothing you would hear……
