It's OK for Jose Mourinho to Call You a 'Son of a Whore'

Chelsea's manager, Portugal's Jose Mourinho, will apparently not get in any trouble for some some naughty things to a referee. I'll just cut and paste from the ESPN article, because filthy words such as these would never leave my lips:

The Chelsea manager was alleged to have use the phrase filho da puta - which translates as 'son of a whore' or 'son of a bitch' - in a confrontation with Riley at half-time in the FA Cup quarter-final draw with Tottenham on Sunday.

Mourinho's justification, however, is priceless. He says he didn't mean it to be abusive, and that the "word can be abusive if you understand it as an abusive word." My language skills are not world class, but I'm curious ... in what other way could one understand "son of a whore"?

"Oh, you mean my mother was forced to live in trying circumstances, and did what she had to do to feed her family? Oh! Well, thank you, sir, I'll tell my mother of your generous words. And since you were so complimentary of my family, guess what? Your father fondles the genitalia of baby donkeys! Yes! Yes! Tell him I said so, will you?"

Mourinho also offered this:

"If you listen to me speaking I say the kind of word you mention 10 times in every 15 words. If you have a microphone on the dugout, I say that during the game 20 times, easy."

Good God, man ... get a grip on yourself. I'd say that he curses like a sailor, but I don't want to slander profane sailors like that. That's a staggering amount of cursing. No one embraces profanity like I do, but that seems excessive, even for me. You just can't run around calling people sons of whores, I don't care if you are the coach of an underachieving, high-priced, boring, whiny football team.
