My father-in-law brought this one back from Scotland. While golfing, his caddy called the unkept grass outside the rough the "love grass".
Obligingly, my father-in-law said "Why do you call it that?"
"Because," said the caddy, "Hit it over there and you're fucked for sure."

If you whine loud enough, fiddle around on Photoshop for an hour or three, whine some more, then whine some more -- well, anything can happen! God bless America! :silly:
I'm just delighted Skinner knew what a "Bongo" was...!

All commercial airline pilots and air traffic controllers speak English, so their are no language barriers. And when they play back the voice recorders "black box" after plane crashes, mor often than not the final words on the tape are "Oh, Shit!!!"

15. An even more obscure factoid... the very first fatality of an airplane |
|
Said "Shit!" As he and Orville Wright lost control of their plane and crashed. Orville would not say publically what Lt. Thomas Selfridge had uttered other than "Oh,... Oh!" My grandfather, however, worked for the Wrights several years later and said that with the proper lubrication, Orville would tell the real story of the death of the US Military's first pilot, and aviation's first victim.
BTW, Selfridge was a very sharp officer, and related to several flag officers in the Army and Navy, probably would have been a major player in WWII had he lived.

17. I deploy "fuck" in the face of misfortune, too. Call me a traditionalist.. |
|
It's short, it's blunt, it helps you maintain a shred of sanity when all goes down the crapper.

I say it at least a couple of times a day. It's a horrible addiction.
I think I picked it up from my step-father. He used to say it, too, when he dropped something or hurt himself on accident.
I just say it when I'm frustrated.
On edit: And if I'm REALLY pissed, it's GOD-FUCKING-DAMMIT!!

S. O. D. Shit, Oh Dear. Contributed by my sainted mother, who is still alive.
Razzafratz. You can say it loud, especially if you are around children. I have better things, too, but I am a novice.

A 'fucking-a' in most circumstances. In instances where I get hurt badly I have been known to shout 'God-fucking-damnit'!

God Dammit, but we learned "Scheisse!" from my husband's uncle in Germany, among other fun words. My son also enjoys that one! *I forgot "hijo le!"

Useful for when you don't actually want to swear.
Other good ones:
"You fucking guy" "You piece of shit!!!" (w/ slight crescendo)
But sometimes, a simple "DAMMIT" gets the job done just fine.

35. F8ck when I'm really in pain |
|
When I'm actualy in pain "fuck" over and over. But when swearing to emphasise things usualy "shit." At catholic school we got creative. "Jebus" was very popular, as were "bugger" and "bloody." I was known to say "buga-BOO!" I had a teacher last year who said "shhhhh- uger" whenever something went missing.
