Rule #6: Never apologize — Its a sign of weakness. A rule used more often than the others, but finally given a number in 7x12 'Flesh and Blood' during a great Gibbs/DiNozzo moment. The first person to use that phrase was John Wayne in, "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon." "Never apologize, mister, it. It's a sign of weakness." — In the episode 3x23 'Hiatus Part-1' DiNozzo explains to NCIS Director, Jenny Shepard, that Gibbs took this one from "The Duke himself."
One of Gibbs' Rules that has not been strictly followed is Rule #6, "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness." Another is Rule #3, "Never be unreachable." Gobbs often leaves his cell phone behind when he does not want to be reached. Recently we learned that Gibbs' Rule #6 is "Never apologize — It's a sign of weakness." Gibbs has made at least six exceptions to Rule #6:
1. His apology to Kate for being late to her funeral. 2. His apology to McGee for not backing him up when he was interrogated. (and arrested) by the DC Metro Police. 3. His apology to Franks because of his amnesia. 4. His apology to Ducky following his return from Mexico. 5. His apology to Joann for not being able to protect Shannon and Kelly. 6. His apology to Abby in the Season 7 Finale, Rule Fifty-One.
MP, no you won't be sorry you asked, if you like great procedural crime dramas! NCIS stands for Naval Crime Investigation Something! It's actually pretty good.
Ozark, yea, obscenity is always in the ear of the beholder. I've wondered, from a point of curiosity and forum decorum what other people's opinions were on the subject, but I've worried that any thread that dealt with the issue might explode.
I think I have different opinions based on spoken (transitory) and written (permanent) speech. Sometimes a word is the only word that truly describes what you need to say. Sometimes it's just part of normal speech patterns. I remember reading a news story once where one member of the city council was accused of using a certain slur against another. The problem was the article was so afraid of the word they wouldn't even say what it was, so the reader was left wondering what was said. Since the article made Fark, there was of course a very long discussion in the thread trying to figure out what the word was.
