A discussion of profanity

[forsyth]

Over here on ursulav's LJ.

I intend to write something up about obscenities myself, which can be summarized in that they, like anything powerful, be it weapons, drugs, or antibiotics, should be used sparingly and appropriately, for best effect. Otherwise you end up with things like saying "fuck" for noun, verb, adjective, and it loses all its power.

Feel free to share your own obscenities, to screw with carp's employer's censoring software.

What is this, some kind of conspiracy? I suppose you people don't want me to read your LJs.

Tee hee. I got a button today that says "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' FUCK!"

A simple gesture toward said button already saved me a lot of words ;)
