Thanks for the thoughts. Depending on the translation, those passages tend either to emphasize 'the perverse mouth' all the way to 'the false tounge', which means it can be taken a lot of ways. Likewise, in Buddhism, the path of Right Speech suggests that people strive for pure speech. Again, whether it emphasizes 'cursing' or 'lying', is up to the interpreter... I'm in very strong agreement about the 'false tounge' business, and I'm a very honest person, I'm just not so sure about the 'strong words' business, especially when they aren't being used to verbally abuse someone, just to express frustration.
But thanks for the reference.
peace,
