Thus, using “Mort!” as an expletive contributes, in a very slight way, to my achieving NotDying.
I disagree. Using “mort” as a swear word would be extremely low status. You’d only come across as the angry weird guy who doesn’t like death. Associating “being against death” with “being socially oblivious” will not further your goal, please don’t do this.
I don’t think you have to worry as much as your post seems to indicate you do. As best as I can recall, in the last decade or so, I have sworn aloud approximately once—and I was alone when I did that. (IIRC, it was when I thought I’d discovered my VPN had started blocking access to certain political sites.)
