Back for its second annual celebration of raunchy words, the Swearing Festival has a little something for everyone, from scatological etymologists to casual cussers: local linguist Jonathan Hunt offers an academic analysis of the subject during the festival's afternoon panel discussion, while the spicier evening lineup includes one-on-one swearing competitions between both friends and strangers, a demonstration of foreign obscenities and rude gestures, all topped off with a profanity-laced dance party. With holiday stress and enforced family time just around the corner, it's high time to get your choicest expletives in shape — or out of your system.
