I always felt there had to be a positive outlook on my sometimes expletive vocabulary! As much as I try not to swear in my writing, I can curse like a trucker when I’m watching a football game. There are days when those words seem to convey how I am feeling more than any other word….and I love words.
Sometimes there is no better expression of emotion than to simply let a few cuss words out in the conversation. Those words are able to convey a simple honesty about how you are really feeling rather than having to grapple with finding the perfect word to sum up your feelings. That one curse word is short and succinct and the person hearing that word is not left wondering how you really feel.
I will still strive to stretch my vocabulary when it comes to my writing but if I’m giving you a brief verbal synopsis on how something made me feel, don’t be surprised at the number of f-bombs I drop during our conversation.
F*ckin’ A
YES!!
I know some people who can be really innovative with expletives and they all are comparatively honest & trustworthy. I agree with the study.
Me too!
I will forever remember when I said “darn” in front of my mother who was driving us somewhere in the car. I was in the eighth grade. My mother calmly pulled over and parked on the street. She turned to me and said Sheila, only people with poor vocabularies resort to slang words. Don’t ever let me hear you say that word again.
Thankfully,my poor mother never watched a football game with me. 🙂
Haha….I love it!!
That’s not the only thing searing is good for. It can also decrease pain!

I love the article…I’m suddenly feeling better about my potty mouth. 🙂
I meant to say “swearing.” Dammit!
Ah. I feel better.
Haha….works every time!
I too swear may more than in my posts… hmmm, perhaps I should cuss and swear like a sailor now.
We could make the sailors proud. 🙂
Fuck yeah!!
