More and more Hollywood movies are using gratuitous profanity these days.

Swearing has become almost an indispensable part of the silver screen in America.

Is this done to add oomph to the films?

Or it just reflects how ordinary Americans conduct their everyday conversation.

WORDS
profanity: obscene language.
oomph: dynamism, energy, vigor.

We all like to have a good laugh. Yet what exactly is it that we find funny?

Different people laugh at different things. Not everyone giggles in the same situation, laughs at the same joke or finds the same book or movie humorous.

In other words, we all know what humor is. However, we don’t all find humor in the same things.

WORDS
to giggle: to laugh repeatedly in an uncontrolled way.
