#172 Knock Knock, a Little Profanity Here

The word 'lidfok' in Hebrew is to knock or hit. As you might imagine, it means some more explicit things too. In this episode, Guy explains why words like 'dafuk' and 'dfika' are difficult to use but important to understand. And how some words just shouldn't be used at all.
