AI didn't make this up. I heard this a decade ago.

Did David Milch say he researched it and this was accurate, or you'rejust guessing? I think that he did research it and landed on "I want it to sound accurate and work more than I want it to be accurate and not work."

If you make a movie about ancient Rome, you can make it accurate by making all the buildings colorful but it would take the audience out of it because we think they were all white.

2004 New Yorker article, what do ya know

Deadwood - Swearing in the Old West - Nymag https://share.google/x9fwgkFmsdOt3mn6I

Life's Work, A memoir. David Milch

Read that NY mag blurb you linked.

I'm team Milch. We are talking about whorehouses in the 1870s. I would like to think Ian MacShane's character took his considerable intellect and commitment to debauchery to form a rather "blue" way of conversing and making his points.

Well you guys were right about House of Dynamite. That ending was a real punch in the mouth.

Haha, I posed this question to GPT:

HBO's Deadwood shows them swearing using very vulgar terms we use today. Is the vocabulary accurate to the time? what kind of swear words did they actually say?

It's confirming what I said. "Go to hell" was worse than anything you could say sexually. Anything blasphemous at all was really bad. Character attacks were extremely offensive, too. Animal comparisons were really bad. Ethnic slurs.

By God
Hellfire
Cur
Horse thief
Snake
Dog

I reference Yosemite Sam for the best era correct swear words/phrases.

Ever watch something and you’re not sure if you liked it or not?

Thats how I felt about “Something Bad is About to Happen”

8 episodes. Started decently. Got kind of goofy in the middle. Thought it ending on a high note towards the end. Then got weird.

Didn’t hate it… but not sure I’d recommend it.

Got an email today that my Netflix subscription price is going up again.

I'm bout to cancel Netflix. With their price increases and their child grooming programming, I'm over it.

I watched it all. I can relate to your current state.
