FCUK YOU !!!!!!

"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you
don't know any swear word" - Calvin & Hobbes


There is a whole lot of swearing that goes on these days. I’m sure that there must be some rule somewhere against it, but it certainly is not enforced.we curse at each other, and when we do it on the phone, We use hand gestures to communicate varying levels of pissed-offedness.

I read somewhere once that psychiatrists have determined that swearing comes from the same place in the brain as crying, they also went on to say that women cry to release stress and men swear. In my experience women do both, and men only cry when there aren’t other men around. Psychiatrists not withstanding, most people will agree that nothing really expresses the special sort of frustration you get from dealing with irrational people like cursing does.

I was raised to believe that cussing is a sin, and therefore very interested in it. I would rather that I did not do it as often as I do, but sometimes there just aren’t appropriate words to communicate how incredibly frustrated I get sometimes. You see, I’ve known people who used the word fuck as an noun,verb,adjective, and adverb all in the same sentence. Now that’s ignorant. A good curse word should be more of a bowl of hot sauce used sparingly.

But the really funny thing about swearing is that while it shocks you if someone swears at you, it doesn’t really hurt your feelings that much. No, the real words that hurt are more plain. Being told that you are a son of a bitch, that’s insulting to your mom, but that’s really about it. But its so common, and people say that jokingly that it really doesn’t seem like much of an insult. The things that hurt more are words that go to your worth as person.
