Zero. Paul Erdős was one of his aliases.

Maybe there can be an Erdős - Santos number, a summation of one’s Erdős number and closeness to one of Santos’ aliases.

I’ve noticed this: one of the triggers for these people is swearing. Somehow it hits them unusually hard. They can’t hear what’s being said if there’s even one minor swear word in the full statement. It invalidates every other word and idea, instantly. And it carries forward: my mother still tells people that I have a foul mouth, because once about 25 years ago (I’m not kidding, and yes, I was a full-grown adult) I said ‘damn’ in front of her.

That all checks out. It makes sense that you would swear and that they don’t…
ETA: and by they I mean the GQPers pulling this crap, not your mom

The funny thing is, I’m known for the opposite: I use the old-fashioned exclamations like ‘heavens to Betsy’ and ‘holy moly’ and ‘for Pete’s sake’ because I find they get the idea across better. One of my daughters swears like a stevedore and to me it’s just not as fun and interesting, and there’s no shock value really. I honestly think I shock people more with how I say things, because no one expects these older terms, so it kind of wakes them up to what I’m saying.
And the very few times I do swear, well, people know that means something.

My usual go-tos are “Sugarlumps!” and either “Mother of Pearl!” or “Mother goose!”

I have found the habit of young folks using “fuck” the way Smurfs use “smurf” is neither shocking nor expressive. Just seems like there is nothing else to say. I also prefer more creative “swearing,” even if it does come across as more acceptable in mixed company.

Maya Rudolph seems interesting but I can’t help but see this as giving in to the fascists
