We about shouted!!!! :-)Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645857042542944175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-12299308523092072212010-07-03T15:37:11.108-05:002010-07-03T15:37:11.108-05:00Thanks for the reminder that the other F word is j...Thanks for the reminder that the other F word is just as bad. I use it sometimes...and I am a preachers wife...Shame Shame. I will be more careful with my language in the future.

The adult told me not to cuss and I protested that I hadn't--and I spelled what I had said. They responded "that's not how it's spelled". They thought I was using dang for damn--and actually I wasn't or didn't think I was.<br /><br />I wouldn't let my kids say something "sucked". I hate the way that sounds. They could say something "vacuumed". And if it was really bad, they could say it "electroluxed". Because as we all know--nothing sucks like an Electrolux!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641059685087617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-87363110982762466782010-07-02T01:27:30.402-05:002010-07-02T01:27:30.402-05:00I came from a family that didn't even allow us...I came from a family that didn't even allow us to say, "shut up" for fear that it was just plain ol' wrong. Gosh, heck, dang, darn...all words that stood for something else....were not allowed. Even when it came to talking about an ass/donkey...nope...not allowed.<br /><br />I guess you'll just have to make up your own words. Go to word verification...there's plenty of good words to use there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923368625647031806.post-19539843667882084462010-07-01T21:39:59.519-05:002010-07-01T21:39:59.519-05:00Cute!

That's not to say that I can't tell you off using medical terminology that will have your head spinning. Even today I still say the initials only of a swear word when reading aloud. There are lots of words that people, especially children, use these days that I would have been astonished if I had heard back then. Remember that hillbilly bear on the cartoons that muttered and grumbled nonsense words back in the 60's? That's what we need to do.
