You know what gets me?... How everybody says fuck and shit all the time. I used to be scared shitless if I'd say fuck or shit in public, by accident. Now everybody says fuck and shit, fuck and shit all the time. Something very big must have happened while we were out of the country.

Summary

The quote reflects the speaker's observation of the increasing prevalence of profane language in public discourse. Previously, using curse words publicly seemed taboo, even accidental, but the speaker notes a change where such language is used casually and frequently by everyone. The mention of being out of the country indicates that the culture shift towards accepting profanity was a noticeable development that occurred during their absence. The speaker's statement implies that the shift is significant, suggesting that a significant event or societal change must have taken place to cause such a shift in public language norms.
