I dropped the "f" word in the supermarket yesterday. No one reacted. No one was offended. That is a good sign the word has lost its mojo! LOL!

A few years ago I made a very deliberate choice. I decided that having been a comic book reader for many years, and being a Physics techer now, I needed my own interjection. Just as superman might say "Great Krypton!" or Batman might say "Great Gotham!" and Green Lantern with his ridiculous sounding "Great Guardians!" I needed my own Physics based interjection.
What did I come up with... "Great Quantum Electrons!" Truth is I only say it when I am thinking about it. If I am truly shocked, there are still other words that might come out. I am working on internailing it though.

You mean there's other words I can use?
Anyway, my wife and I have been teaching our son it's rude to say mean things about people. For example, you don't call someone "fat" or "ugly." He's a little fuzzy on the application, though... Me- "Oh, man- that is UGLY!" Son- "Daddy! That's a bad word!" Me- "I was talking about this bill, son, not a person." Son- "But..." Me- "It's okay to call things ugly, not people." Son- "Oh." Of course now I have to watch myself when I start complaining that politicians are liars, since it's not nice to call someone a liar (even if it's true.)

The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats |

To our children, my wife often quoted the line from Bambi where Thumper's Mather said, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
While it's great advice, it wasn't always heeded by young ears.

My daughter pointed out that I've been known to say "Shut the Front Door!" Instead of "Shut the !@#$ Up!"

"mother trucker"! commonly used still. "dagnabit"; "gol-dernit" (from Walter Brennan as Granpappy Amos); "dag-gummit", et al. When I was in high school, we used to swear with "schicklegruber" (a Hitler family name) in place of the sh word .... oh, and WC Fields also used "mother of pearl" among his many gems. Lynn

Well, when I got hit by a truck, a bystander complimented me on my fluency in Ukrainian obscenities.
I have no idea what I actually said, but I know about three words of Ukrainian (which I can't identify because I just get them mixed into Russian, which I know just enough of to get a fight started) and apparently none of them were included in my initial tirade. |
