As a 7th generation "native" of Greenwich, I love Eric's take on this community. I never ever used the "f" word and was appalled when others did. Today, it flows much too freely in my speech.
That comic reminds me of an experience my sister in law told me about when she went back to college as an adult to get her teaching degree. The professor had just spent a good part of the class explaining and going over something, and then asked for questions. One of her 18 year old classmates raised their hand and asked, “Do we have to know this?”

Funny! It's turning them into adults and not worrying about grades that's the key.
