Perth tends to use "fucktard" alot when he is driving. ("Get out of my way, fucktard!") I find the fuck combinations kind of funny. Once in a while a good "fuckity fuck" is in order.

Maybe this should be a seperate thread.But how do you respond when the going gets tough?Everybody is so quick with their finger.But to me that shows such a lack of originality or imagination.If I'm pissed enough,what I do is show my hand pushing up and down towards my groin as if to suggest....uh,never mind.

"Fucktard", as in "That guy just ran the light! What a fucktard!" has been a recent favorite.

Edit: On seeing Cases' post after having posted my own, I have to agree that this term works really well when behind the wheel and not in many other situations for some reason.

I've been getting a lot of milage out of "fuckwit," lately.

"Fuckin' A" is a clear fave.

and "Shitstorm" tends to be a real attention getter. You don't hear it a lot so it's nicely effective in the right context.

This is fun. It's like that questionnaire at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio" on Bravo.

Used to be shit. Since I had kids, it is now dagnabbit. Yes, it's true, I curse like Yosemite Sam. ;)

All seriousness aside, you'd be surprised at how well this substitute works. There are times when you just have to say something or you'll explode. Dagnabbit, particularly if you stretch out the first syllable, works for me.

staceyv 03-13-2004 08:05 AM

i like to insert "fucking" into the middle of a two or more syllable word. ex: i forgot to add the gra-fuckin-tuity to the check, what a great new year's fuckin eve, i have to work, etc.
but "shit" is just so versatile, i guess it's my favorite...shit can be a verb, noun, adjective, and more. it can stand alone or be combined with any number of words. it can replace a word you can't remember, it can be good, it can be bad. it's the shit.

Undertoad 03-13-2004 08:18 AM

Good point, the fucking "insertion" so to speak. Old friend of mine used to say "A T and fucking T", which for some reason I found totally hilarious.

It's, like, subtle. Plus it changes the meaning. If you say "I got a fucking Sony TV" it would seem like you were unhappy to get it. But you could say "I got myself a Sony Fuckin' TV" and by that you'd mean it was the greatest thing ever.

Personally I'm a fan of Donald Duck's rantings. You just knew he was cursing up a blue streak. He's my hero.

The purpose of expletives, is to convey attitude or feeling. Donald did it best.:)

Varying degrees of agitation call for varying degrees of profanity.

In a minimum expletive situation, I tend to use "goddamn".

A more harsh situation brings out the usage of "son of a bitch".

Trying times cause me to say "shit".

Real traumatic occurances require me to invoke "fuck" in all of its permutations, up to and incluiding "motherfucker" and "fuck me running, goddamn son of a bitch shit!"

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

FUCKSHITDAMNPISSHELL

Elspode 03-13-2004 09:09 AM

I have a friend who uses that same string, only with 'snotwhorebooger' thrown in.

lumberjim 03-13-2004 09:10 AM

My father, who i consider to be the authority on cussing, had a favorite:

usually bellowed in a red faced fit of rage, or agony after thumping his thumb with a hammer:

"Shit, Piss and Corruption!!"

Elspode 03-13-2004 09:24 AM

That's actually rather eloquent, and makes you stop and think. Now I feel like I'm not cursing creatively enough.
