Did People Really Talk Like That?



July 25, 2020

I love the show “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”.

But I have to wonder:

Did people really talk like that in everyday conversation in the 1950’s? Even a waitress in a diner yells the F-word out loud when the place is full of customers.


Makes it hard to see why Lenny Bruce got in trouble so often.


So are the Maisel writers taking liberties with the language? Or did the rest of the world take a while to catch up to New York?
