Their oath-filled talk makes the hair stand on end, and their brawls make one stop the ears.
Their oath-filled chatter can make your hair stand on end, and their quarrels cause others to shut their ears.
Their cursing and swearing make one’s hair stand on end, and their quarrels make others stop their ears.
Their cursing and swearing make one’s hair stand on end, and their quarrels make others stop their ears.
Their cursing and swearing make one’s hair stand on end, and their quarrels make others stop their ears.
