Don't Say That Shit

Coincidentally, or maybe not, if you're into phases of the moon and what's your sign and all that crap, both Sage and Kloe are writing about the cuss words in blogs. Some asshole academic-type wrote somewhere that using swear-words is somehow indicative of a person's ability to articulate, or perhaps just the general quality of on'e writing. So in sisterhood with Sage and Kloe, but also in defense of the art of hurling bad words around, I am expressing my absolute outrage at the idea that the use of a word like fuck, for example, is offensive. Hardly. It's actually rather expressive, and it has many uses as a verb, noun and an adjective. Because of the sharp ending it is highly satisfying to use when you are insanely pissed off, or simply pissed, in the British sense (a wee bit tipsy), and you want to say "fuck it." Excellent with the artificial British accent. Similarly, when referring to other drivers - a let-off-steam exercise - the use of words like "dumbass," "bastard," "fuckwad," "dipshit," and, of course, "asshole," can be both satisfying and a great relaxant for the fast-paced pulse.

Ya know, if some shithead wants to write drivel about profanity, he oughtta try using some himself before he judges me. If he's too prim to give it a whirl, how does he know how good it really feels? I'm grateful to live in this proud country because I can say whattever the hell I want to, and every time I think of my dear mom - still the model of elegance - telling me to be ladylike, I can be content with the knowledge that I know a lotta great ladies who can swear a blue streak.
