I have to assume th-fronting hyper-correction is at work here as oafs are certainly capable of issuing oaths in the sense of irreverent and unacceptable language, and I can see no other explanation. I too have some gloves like those in the last example, but swearing at them doesn’t seem to help.
He doesn’t really make me laugh. He has me mannerisms of an oathish Stephen Fry.
The HUmarl was the big oathish man who was cut and MAG’s were originally intended to be worn around the shoulders and ankles.
Sadly just as everywhere else in society, the canals now seem to be attracted a sector that want to get everywhere in a hurry, enjoy embarrassing others by using foul language, see no wrong in being rude and inconsiderate (at all times) and, above all, enjoy forcing their oathish and bullying lifestyle on the rest of us.
He plays an overly oathish parody of himself that too often just comes off as creepy.
Fantastic idea that I would love to see administered on a more sleek level as these gloves are oathish and cumbersome.
