...worst from him. His very expression is off-putting. I'm 80 years old, not a profane person and quite benign in my declining years. But when I opened my copy of the magazine and saw that low-angle shot of Putin, I impulsively shouted a curse, like an uncouth youth. Andrew Halmay, Toronto...
Maybe that's why Facebook's fastest-growing demographic consists of people 35 or older: they're refugees from the uncouth wider Web. Every community must negotiate the imperatives of individual freedom and collective social order, and Facebook constitutes a critical rebalancing of the Internet's founding vision of unfettered electronic liberty.

...particular, Rich portrays the hapless, desperate-for-marriage, pinheaded Wishfort to great comedic effect, as does Salas as the uncouth, oversexed Sir Willful.

Unfortunately, too often, our society falsely suggests that sexual experience is a “must-have,” encouraging men to boast (often fictitiously) of weekend hook-ups, glorifying a culture of empty promiscuity.

Men underestimate the impressiveness of self-control, strength, and rebelliousness in the face of popular opinion and the degree to which abstinence makes them desirable to women. Confidence...
...around for the date of D-Day (it’s June 6, 1944, you fool!). 3) Help you make that witty, bantering, sophisticated small talk that the seasoned Harvardian is expected to make. While the proclaimed purpose of the Historical Study A Core maybe be to train the uncouth species known as the Harvard science concentrator to grasp the “background and development of major issues of the contemporary world,” just remember that its dull slogan is code for empowering the socially awkward to achieve their maximum well-rounded socialite potential.Math concentrators accustomed...
