Whoops, CBS just got another curse word onscreen during the men's final. Details:
Federer was pissed that the ref allowed Del Potro to challenge after quite a bit of time elapsed. The mic caught quite a few words, including "I don't give a shit..."
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently he dropped the f-bomb. So it seems that doesn't get you tossed. My sister is pissed, but this is in no way equivalent to threatening to shove a ball down someone's throat--that should get you penalised whether or not you swear when you do it.
That having been said, some clarity about what penalties apply for what would be nice.

Dude, you don't shush Roger Federer! Especially after you've let del Potro get away with an "I wasn't ready!"

I didn't hear an f-bomb, but to me, he didn't make physical motions toward the umpire. And all the commentators agree that the challenge thing was bullshit. Del Potro looked towards his coaches for advice on whether he should challenge.

Oh, the challenge *was* total bullshit, and I get why he was angry. CBS went to ads before the "fuck" but my sister heard it in her coverage. I'm not sure where she's getting her feed from. When they came back Carillo said he'd sworn more than once, but we only heard the one "shit".

Friend B's definition is... well, let's say that Friend C just popped up in Facebook chat to say "Why does B's status say 'single'? Holy shit!"
Oy. And shockingly common. In many senses of the word, actually.

Didn't Prince Harry get broken up with that way?
Man, del Potro sure can get himself out of breakpoints.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nilly, the Wedding: Freaking Awesome. I'm dead tired now, but I bet our girl is still there, dancing, giggling, smiling, and stopping every 5 minutes to take her picture with a guest.
And there was so much love there. You can't even begin to imagine.
Aw! I can imagine, too -- if there was half the love in the room that Nilly deserves, that would be a LOT! And I am confident that the Khusband comes with his own good stuff as well.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for early wedding report! Can't wait to hear and see more.
