I've never really gotten along with Hemingway, too misogynist for my tastes, so it's slow going, but on page 47 I found the antidote to Malcolm Tucker.
Originally printed in 1941, they obviously thought swear words far too racy so here's a snippet:
'...we blow up an obscene bridge and then have to obscenely well obscenity ourselves off these mountains...Go to the unprintable... and unprint thyself!'
How fab. This sorts out swearing in front of children!
So I'll unprint off, and obscenely post again soon,
