First time such words were uttered? *Chapter 5 Spoilers*

Not a huge deal or that offensive a word but is Elaine calling LeChuck a bastard the first time a curse word has been used in the Monkey Island series? When I heard it I thought to myself that the series isn't one for swear words and wondered if it was the first time.

    Hah hardly. There've been multiple damns and hells and Largo used a four letter word, even if it was censored.

    Huh, she did?

    I didn't catch it. Or rather, I didn't care when she said it, because swearing is so fucking ingrained into modern language that it hardly has any real power.

    Huh, first time I've seen that word around here.

    Not to say I don't use it myself more often than I should.

    I thought you were going to mention the "I love you". THAT was the first time those words were used in the series, to great effect.

    You might be right actually. Can anyone confirm?

    I disagree with that. But, I do see your point. I think the OP was simply surprised at the more adult dialogue in this installment. I kinda was, too, at first.

    I got really excited. The moment called for a word more insulting than 'sack of sea scumm'

    I think he also tells you to get the **** out of his room if you don't use the voodoo doll on him. :p

    Actually, I'm pretty sure he called Ozzie a triple timing bastitch, not bastard. I checked the subtitles once, and I'm pretty sure that's what it read.

    What's the deal with swearing? Why is it worth a thread?

    I think I'll just open a thread about verbs then...

    I noticed that on my recent playthrough, and hoped beyond all hope that it was intended as a Johnny Dangerously reference.
