Watch Nicolas Cage shout expletives in History of Swear Words trailer
See the original posting on The Verge
If youâve ever wondered how profanity actually became profane, Nicolas Cage is here to help you out. The actor is no stranger to swearing, but in Netflixâs upcoming show History of Swear Words heâll be doing it in a more educational way. Though, if the trailerâs indicative of what the show is going to be like, itâll still be very entertaining.
It opens with Cage standing up and just screaming âfuck,â likely a reference to him doing pretty much the exact same thing in Deadfall. It only gets better from there, explaining that apparently the word is an acronym (standing for Fornication Under Consent of the King), and delving into how swear words are understood by the people using and hearing them.
