the most unassertive person for a long time. Instead of doing the emotional work of growing up, I swore. I guess I was 'faking it till you make it'. Then I did start to grow and I stopped saying f***.

I figure there are two kinds of cussers. One does it without thinking, without meaning and as just another word in his/her vocabulary. The other does it for effect. I'm one of the latter ones. I'm a 66 year old grandmother, former corporate paralegal. When I say "fuck" I do it for dramatic effect. If one uses the word fuck too often, it loses the punch.

Now the word "shit" has less effect, and I suppose can therefore be used more liberally. So I do. Sometimes in front of other people, some times just for the benefit of the cats.

Since I'm an atheist, the word "hell" has absolutely no meaning for me whatsoever. I can't use it for effect and haven't managed to get it into my daily vocabulary.

All that being said, I simply, definitely and most profoundly will not say the "C" word and I admonish my granddaughter when she says it. I also don't like hearing words that refer to the female anatomy in a negative manner.

So, sit the fuck up you pussy-shit dick suckers and quit that fucking swearing when you're around the Heiress of Bickworth.

I swear more than I should - mostly I just sprinkle it around sentences for flavor.

Yeah, shit is a flavor.

Although I try to keep it under my breath at work and around the grandkids. I've been told that the first time one of the babies says "SHIT!" that they will come looking for me and I don't want to eat no damned soap.

What other profession allows you to say things like "Steve, if you ask me one more fucking time if there is gluten in the motherfucking dirty rice entree, I will drag your ass to the walk-in and fuckstart your head."

btw, this got a pretty huge laugh out of the aforementioned Steve.

But ya know, a fella gets busy... and we all have to move on sometimes.

Lately I've been refurbishing this sweet vintage Alfa Romeo I bought from my friend, Lex. Once I get 'er humming again, I'll try and get back to that whole justice bringing thing. Or I might pick up gardening.

Learn to cuss in furrin languages. It's fun!!

For example: I do not say "son of a whore".
I say "Hijo de puta" (Spanish) or "Figlio da putana" (Italian). More fun.

And take lessons from the fan-fucking-tabulous Lewis Black. He is the successor to George Carlin.

Those silly assholes who don't know how to cuss without sounding like fucking idiots.

Get a clue, cocksnot-- if you're going to cuss, do it in a properly constructed sentence. The fucking English language is taking enough of an ass-pounding from all the right-wing fucksticks who mangle words and definitions. We don't need more dumbasses who think that "shitfuck" is a cuss word.

Probably less than I do here.
.
.

It's not constant... but often enough that people realize that the words are a part of my
regular vocabulary -- almost always used for emphasis. I HATE the people who -- in fucking
PUBLIC -- seem totally unaware that pretty literally every other word (no kiddin') out of their
mouths is either "fuck" or "shit". And it's unconscious -- kind of a modern trashy "um" or
"you know" structure.
.
.
.
I have to listen to (alleged) parents talk like that in front of their young impressionable
children (and I BET they chastise the kids for talking like that).
.
.
.
They are the Jerry Springer/reality show generation.
.
.
.
I'm surprised there's not more shirt-ripping going on around me.
.
.
.
Well, maybe surprised is the wrong word. How about disappointed.
.

.

And my fairly socially conservative Midwest upbringing shows up now and then
(usually causing chuckles and/or raised eyebrows) when I come out with a
truly heartfelt GOSH now and then.
