religious friends

And you call yourself a pinko.

[Burrito Al Pastor]

I've been partial to "fucksocks" for years, but damned if I can remember where I learned it.

I have a habit of picking up the dialect of something I've immersed myself in, like a show or a book... and there's an awful lot of settings that use "frack" or something along the lines. I'm nervous that it might just be a matter of time before it becomes part of my daily vocabulary, like "shiny" did.

I was this close to calling that pathetic, but then I realized that I know a girl who does that.

[Classic]

That's schway, man. Don't be a tosser.

[Thad]

I am partial to "balls".

Is that an Arizona thing?

No.  The only other person I know who says it is Brad, and he picked it up from me.

I have a habit of picking up the dialect of something I've immersed myself in, like a show or a book...

Once, some years ago, I caught myself muttering "Well that's just prime."

During my mopey period of, appropriately enough, 2001, I once caught myself thinking "My mind is going.  I can feel it."

(I would have gone with Carlin for the topic icon, but Dude works.)

[Brentai]

I still slip up and say "scuppering" once in a while.

And "spoony", but that's forgivable in my immediate surroundings.

[Arc]

There is no equal to 'Fuck', verbally. Alteration to the tone and pitch can lead to entirely different meanings that go even beyond the wordscapes that 'Shit' has traversed.

Still searching for that perfect vulgarity which is equal in writing.

Not uncommon up here.  Balls is a descriptor, derived from "balls deep."  Something can be balls hot, for instance.

"Jesus H." can set up many expletives.  Jesus H. Balls.

Or, simply, Jesus Fucking.  Jesus Fucking Christ is common, but I prefer Jesus Fucking Shit.

[Thad]

Oh, "balls-deep" is another story.  Lots of people say that.  Brad has a coworker who hates the expression, so apparently everyone at work says it constantly.

On sacrilege, "Jesus" works well with anything.  "Jesus Balls" is a favorite of mine.  "Christ on a fucking crutch" is one I use frequently too.  An old roomie once whined about my use of "Jesus fucking Christ" and, after seeing Team America, "Jesus tittyfucking Christ".

[Guild]

I say "Christmas." I also use shiznegackle. I change curse words every other year or so.

Today I got together with a Navy guy and we both started cussing like old sailors (kazz-style), and I noticed I'm still doing it now.

Thad, I hate you and everyone like you who overuses pop-culture cussing. Worse than people who say douchebag because of Dane Cook: People who use it because of friends who use it because of Dane Cook. It's like a giant memetic annoy Sean game. What I mean to say is that I HATE YOU ALL?

[Sharkey]

I am, on occasion, confronted about this by religious friends who think they're being clever. "Why even bother blaspheming if you don't believe in it? It shouldn't mean anything to you."

Really?  They don't understand the basic premise of using profanity to make other people uncomfortable?

You'd think, but I'm guessing it's more that thing where they're just trying to catch you out. Like when you enjoy gospel music or have a christmas tree.

I'm nervous that it might just be a matter of time before it becomes part of my daily vocabulary, like "shiny" did.

Could be worse. You might have learned Mandarin just to swear in it.

Actually, sometimes I'm tempted. But I don't think I've quite exhausted the opportunities offered by English.

[Classic]

Wait. Dane Cook is credited with starting that? SON OF A WHOARYFUCKINGBITCH INTERNETS! INTERNETS! INTERNETS! INTERNETS!

[François]

What's the verdict on saying douchebag because of God Hand? Should I specify?

[Dogstar]

If I get pissed I tend to mangle my curses. "Shitcocking asshead fuck fuck fuck no you jackoff go the other fucking fuck way ARGH"

[Thad]

Wait. Dane Cook is credited with starting that?

I'm pretty sure it was Howard Stern.  Parker and Stone helped.

Anyway, the point is that Guild hates you because you quoted a movie on a couple of occasions in 2004.  It is important that you listen to him, and value his opinion.

[Brentai]

Could be worse. You might have learned Mandarin just to swear in it.

That's spooky.  I just started learning Mandarin again.

Of course in my case it's because I might be going to Beijing in a couple of months.  Knowing how to curse people out on their own soil might actually be a bad thing.

[Classic]

value his opinion.

It is uncanny how perfectly you understand my thought processes.

I might be going to Beijing

Of course: Photos or it didn't happen. If it pans out, have a good time.

[Brentai]

I really don't feel any particular need to prove to you people that I was in another country, but I'll probably take pictures anyway.  I mean I'm going as a photographer's assistant for shiny's sake.

[Influenza Enema]

I used to swear in my own made-up language. Which I had made only the curse words for. Because that shit is tight when you're eleven.

[Arc]

you people

You people?
