Just like you're not going to change by cursing less, you can't expect them to curse more.

Just start peppering them into conversation slowly. Someone will bite

Why don't you be respectful? Just cause some people choose not to curse doesn't mean they are uptight. Choosing to use curse words in your speech doesn't mean anything, and it's pretty offensive to some people.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
