» Did Gary Carter Invent the F-​​Bomb?

It’s fit­ting, I sup­pose that a player who had stopped curs­ing would intro­duce f-​​bomb into com­mon par­lance. Some­one who gen­er­ally refrains from pro­fan­ity is prob­a­bly more likely to use such a profanity-​​avoiding phrase. And a con­verted non-​​swearer is also, per­haps, more likely to rec­og­nize the awe­some power of that par­tic­u­lar four-​​letter word, and thus to ver­bally grant it metaphor­i­cally explo­sive powers.

My favourite catcher grow­ing up and the best player to ever wear a Expos uniform.
