Back in the days when I said words like "freaky deaky" and "wicked" to describe my world, I was the tightest ball of anxious insecurity you could imagine. Holy bejeezus, did other people knock my poop out of its group. I lived only half a block from my elementary school, but there were three miles of despair and imagined social hell between my house and that schoolyard, I swear.Let's face it. K
London, July 28 (ANI): Rock band Sex Pistols’ swearing on live TV has topped the ‘Most Requested TV Clips’ poll.

Recently there was a survey completed by the Norwich Business School that suggests that, “Allowing staff to swear at work can benefit them and their employers,” and that, “regular use of profanity… (would) reinforce solidarity among staff, enabling them to express their feelings, such as frustration, and develop social relationships.”
I used to take pride in my extensive knowledge and creative use of swear words. I have since cleaned up my mouth because I believe God is pleased by it. After all, The bible says that we have to give an account for every idle word that we speak on the day of judgement (Matt 12:36).
However, from my early day of swearing I can understand what the study is referring to when it mentions “solidarity.” I used to feel bonded to others who swore a lot. It was, at the time, a means of determining whether or not I wanted to hang out with the person. People who didn’t swear seeme
A woman in Pennsylvania is facing a possible 90 days in jail for swearing at her toilet.
Oh come on. Normally you crap on it, and I know I'd take it as less of an insult if someone swore at me than did the other.
And if you can't swear at your own toilet, then where can you?
She was swearing when it was over-flowing and neighbours complained. And this is on America, land of freedom of speech, as long as it's not too loud.
The toilet is the one room where you can do what you like, and no one can get to you. If someone phones, you don't have to answer because you're in the toilet. It's...

You know I love scientists. Long ago, I kinda wanted to be a scientist, then I found out it was hard, so I switched. But check it, in addition to discovering cooties and Jessica Alba, scientists are now showing that swearing like a sailor in front of your co-workers is the booooombbb. They recommend that bosses should give raises based on the severity as well as originality of swearing. Ok, not really, but they did find that it was good for the peons to blow off steam.
Of course an obvious alternative to allowing swearing in the workplace is to give out cool customized pez dispensers. Then your workplaces will be filled with sugary happiness obviating the need for swearing. Seriously, who would swear after they got a Suicide Bomber Mickey Mouse Pez dispenser? Not me, that’s assured.
And what’s a happy workplace? That’s right, an educated workplace. Vocabulary prowess and charity combine into one at the Free Rice website. For every word you get right they give 10 grain
I haven’t posted for a few days, because I took some of my own advice and over the long weekend here in the antipodes I spent more time with the kids than with the laptop.
So this post is simply the highlights of the last few days distilled into quotes from the toddler Little Miss and others.
What I originally thought was going to be the highlight of the weekend happened on Friday night during the ritualistic tucking in of Little Miss in her bed. She looked up at Wife and stated, “I love you sooooo much mummy”, to which you could almost see the tears well up in Wifes eyes, and then without a beat Little Miss added, “you have lots of wrinkles.” Talk about shattered you could almost see the tears of joy changing to tears of anguish. That’ll teach Wife for laughing at Little Miss pointing out I was going bald.
Saturday provided another little Gem when we went to the local shopping centre to see wandering around shaking willing hands and doing litt
Book Description
Swearing in the English language has a long history that encompasses a rich variety of modes, including heroic oaths, sacred undertakings, profane and blasphemous curses, taboo insults charged with sexual and excremental "four-letter" words, competitive foul language, and racist "hate speech." Tracing the history of this intriguing cultural phenomenon from its Anglo-Saxon
Neighbours is a cheesy daytime soap opera that is made and shown in Australia but is actually bigger here in the UK. It’s shown twice a day on BBC1, at 1.30pm and 5.30pm and has been for 10 years or so. That’s why there was shock here this week when an episode was shown which supposedly shows one of the young characters referring to another character as “Paul f**king Robinson“. The clip is above and I’ve watched it a number of times, and to me it is as clear as day they are saying the F word in all it’s sinful glory! Even taking in to account the affected Australian accent, I still think it’s the full on swear word rather than a less obtuse version. There has been speculation it’s ‘Fricking‘ or ‘Fecking‘ but not for me, no way Jose. Which begs the question of how did it get past those editors and arbiters of good taste the BBC?
