When I got that concussion a few months back the curses would fly out of me at random. It lasted about 2 weeks.
I could have been walking down the street and passed a nun.

I would have meant to say, "Good Afternoon, Sister"
What would come out was, "Yo! How the **** are ya?"

No kiddin, it was that bad. Thank god I never actually saw one.
I was cursing everything.

I spilled an entire box of coffee stirrers. Do you know how many millions come in a box of those from Costco? 10 million. All over the floor. My favorite cuss word is mother effer. But I actually didn't curse this time. I just got down to the business of playing pick up sticks with 10 millions mother effing sticks.

Too bad Rain Man wasn't there to count them for you......

I draw that one out and really enjoy it, when it's warranted :) I savor it.

I've been very, very good today, but it was a close shave a little while ago--arguing WITH A WRITER about how what a writer thinks/believes personally is not always germaine to character development. Sometimes what a character says or does is abhorrent to a writer, but is true to the character and the story. So frustrating. I held my tongue, but I really wanted to call her a stupid (Miss HollyGolightly 's favorite curseword ;D). Equating a writer's personal beliefs to what a character says or does is like saying Nabakov must have been a pedophile because he created Humbert Humbert, or Mr. King is okay with child murder (or is a secret killer sewer clown) because he wrote IT, FFS!

Now I'm getting mad all over again--lol

Today I said kaka poopie...not once but three or four times. See, I was flinging mud, drywall mud, tryin to be neat about it and that's a no-win situation, you got the mud slipping off the drywall knife, a six-incher, splat! on the hardwood floor. And if you ever tried to clean up drywall mud and dust, you'd'a said kaka poopie! too. I'm sorry for what I am. I'll try to do better tomorrow. Drinkin a beer now, trying to unwind, images of drywall mud-splat still fresh on my mind, as the song has it. Gordon Lightfoot I think...If you could read my drywall mud-splat, what a tale that would tell, do dah, do dah. Anyway, have two drywall jobs going on, one over in Centennial, this old mining house, thought I'd be working there the winter long, but oh no...no heat in the house for one thing...and the ground was frozen? In the basement? Tryin to dig in a sump well cause they got water problems. I think I said AY CARUMBA! when I showed up, back in March was it? Call it March. Standing water, ground frozen under the crete, punched through the crete but no go any further. Kaka poopie...went home and took a nap.

So...then I got this other drywall job over on Boundary? For Ted? Did a lot of work for Ted over the years, he has that place over on Pit Road, the old family farm. Muddin in that house, on Boundary, tryin to be neat and such...no such luck. I know the German word for ****...ole Pastor Schultz, see, during catechism classes, he was telling Kris and me if we feel the urge to let loose, that the word **** is okay...we wouldn't stand before the Judgement Seat if we cut loose with a **** once in a while. But still...so kaka poopie it is. Finn, too...busca hosa...sounds right. **** pants.

My husband always says that he'd be a raging alcoholic if he had to do drywall mudding as a job :)

I draw this OCD distinction between profanity (God overtones) and vulgarity (s-words and f-bombs and such). I can't help it. It's how I was raised. However, "cussing" covers it all.

I didn't cuss until I read Stephen King. My, he has a potty mouth. Or pen.

Okay, fine, the Marines might have helped with that. And other guys. And sports. And college. And high school.

Lately, from us watching "Archer," I'll say, "What the s***, Lana?" and it always gets Grandma giggling, so of course, that just encourages me.

Thank you one and all for making me smile like my profile pic - this is such a great thread (thanks Sigmund):okay:

When do I cuss?
Let me count the ways. .

Mainly F-bombs under my breath when I'm schlepping around any uneven pavement (sidewalk for my US friends).
Me and manual self-propelled (sounds like a plane now) wheelchair don't like the bumpety-bump business.
Apologies to any of you who live in historic, beautiful cities (um, Charleston? Boston?) with authentic sidewalks but, manual wheelchairs don't like them.

More F-bombs under my breath, when it's a face-off between me and a stroller (we call them pushchairs or buggies in the UK) on a bus.
In London, wheelchairs take precedence over strollers on buses.
Hey, there's space for us both - just fold up that stroller, thanks.

Yep. I'm a regular "rip, rip rip. ." :baffle:

Oops. Full disclosure: Ex-boyfriend usually end up being called Cee You Next Tuesdays (but not to their faces).
I hang my head. .

One of the younger kids (can't remember which one) gave my oldest a book of Shakespearean swears for Christmas :) It's a lot of fun! My daughter has Creative Cursing, too, and we love finding new ways to tell people off--lol

Love that Creative Cursing book!

I will occasionally create a word with the book and text it to one of my buddies as the word of the day.

Today's word is........
