I thought that I was the only one to use cuss words, when something goes wrong. While I never did it on air, friends/colleagues would remember incidents when I swore, instinctively, inadvertently even in the presence of women.
But now it gives me a heart to see it is a universal trait -to express disgust at something (which you have done, or been done to you) - especially when that something is horribly wrong.
Excerpts of Transcript from the 2003 friendly fire incident over Iraq, when a Brit solider was shot down by the USAF's A-10 'Thunderbolts' tank-busters.
The left 1344.xx are the timing on the cockpit tapes. POPOV35 & 36 are the callsigns of the two A-10s.
1344.16 POPOV35: Ahh s***.
1344.25 POPOV35: F***. God bless it.
1344.35 POPOV35: F***, f***, f***.
1344.51 POPOV35: S***.
1345.04 POPOV36: God dammit.
1344.50 POPOV36: Yeah, I know. We're f***ed.
1345.54 POPOV35: S***.
1346.20 POPOV36: F***.
1347.18 POPOV35: I'm going to be sick.
1347.24 POPOV36: Ah f***.
1347.48 POPOV35: Did you hear?
1347.51 POPOV36: Yeah, this sucks.
1347.52 POPOV35: We're in jail dude.
1347.59 POPOV36: Aaaahhhh.
1349.18 POPOV36: F***. God f***ing s***.
