In the 1950s in rural areas, my hobbies were limited to whatever was on hand. Mom and my two grandmothers quilted and sewed. I discovered writing and how much I loved it. And, with a pencil and paper, I found out that I was pretty good at sketching.
Now, after being married for 3/4 of our time together, we have developed new, different hobbies. Stay with me, here!
We have taken up cursing. Nothing vulgar, mind you. Just some pretty common swear words.
First biggie, is damn or dammit. Standard swearing, I know, but there you have it.
Second is one that my saintly mom yelled out when something goes wrong. That would is, of course, shit or crap. While this is offensive, the farm wreaked of it and it was called "shit".
YouTube: George Carlin and his list of 7 awful words that
should or cannot be said on TV. I would not
ever say the obvious bad one, but he did
hit some of our words. This is about 5 min. long. Beginning
is funny.
Third is ass. Now, it is seen as a common word in most ways. But in the George Carlin world, he uses his voice and mimics how the word could be used, unwisely.
Fourth is bitch, with the understanding is this in not referring to a female dog. It is pretty common in the teen insults.
Fifth is its relative, bastard. I have long called my brothers "bastards" for good reason. They were cruel to me in many ways. So I will use that word proudly.
Sixth is whore. When I was in 5th grade, a boy told me to look it up. I looked up "hoar" which is not particularly bad.
Seventh could be piss off. We don't use this one yet. Time will tell.
Oh, there are more, but we are staying away from them. If you would like to be educated, go to this site: 35 words to avoid saying
We have not advanced or sunk down to Carlin's level, and will not. But the words are available if we descend into a pit of depravity.
