Swearing Made Easy

The first thing I would learn in any language, are the swear words. It's a self-defense mechanism - my paranoia has me thinking that whenever anyone's using a foreign language around me, they're prolly cussing me out. The rest of the language can come later - after all, even if you can't understand what I'm saying, I can still do hand gestures (including those offensive ones).

When I was a kid, cuss words would defile my mouth like nobody's business. I can't remember my exact reasons why, but I do remember one occasion where I did it cause I wanted to sound cool, like an adult. Oh bite me.. I was only 11 at that time, ELP* be damned!

* Extended Learning Program - spent 3 years at Cleveland wondering what the heck I was doing there

Of course, now that I'm older and *ahem* more cultured, I tend to shy away from cussing. I wince inwardly every time I hear someone say -Expletive Deleted-

-Expletive Deleted- I'm such a prude.

However, I learned three new ways to dirty up my language this evening. I'll prolly forget the other two, but the first one... woo hoo, I'll use that one for a while. I always thought the meaning was something cute or that it was a cute name. Good thing I didn't just spout it off of my mouth - which reminds me of a former colleague who would just repeat swear words he'd heard, without actually knowing what it mean. People, at least please learn what it means. You don't wanna look like a -Expletive Deleted- -Expletive Deleted-

-Expletive Deleted-
