When Rhett Said That He Didn'T Give a Damn

When Rhett said that he didn’t give a damn to Scarlett in that famed scene we all know, it was a little scandalous back then to hear that damn word at the movie show! Who said the bad word first?. . . It shouldn’t matter on whom that strange distinction was bestowed. The world was changing. Right around the corner Rock and Roll was ready to explode! And even long before “Gone With the Wind,” words much more vulgar had through history been used by folks in nearly every culture in every level of society! Good taste and etiquette still do remain among the educated, yet a gang of thugs inside a movie would sound lame with dialog like “I don’t give a dang!”
