That is just an excuse to allow swearing on TV, they could have handled it in another way to express the fact he hasn’t been around kids. You know I just don’t think it is very cute to swear it is a bad habit and a lot or people don’t want to hear swearing around them or their kids that is just my opinion. Beside what do you gain out of talking like an old sailor
1. Henry (Jared and kids in general) have probably heard a lot worse at school.
2. That scene was natural. Neal said it without much thought then corrected himself, realising that he shouldn’t really say that in front of his child.
3. Neal used it to describe the difficulty of navigating the ship, he wasn’t directing it at Emma or any other woman. Had he used it in that context in front of Henry then they’d be more issue with it.
