What is your favorite cuss word?

My personal favorite is FUCK I just like the way it sounds, and it is so versitile.

Yes, FUCK(!!) is always nice but when really tweaked off and ready to do battle, I'd call someone a God Damned telephone.

There are few modern devices that I hate as much as the God Damned telephone. They are such a pain in my ass you'll never know.

So...if when angry I call someone a GDT they are confused at that moment and/or convinced that I'm somehow off my meds and this normally diffuses the situation.

Sure, some may smile nervously but being called a telephone is something very serious to me and it shows through my tone and posture when using it.

Some may even laugh out loud but the laughing stops suddenly with a follow up comparison to that person and a CELL PHONE.

Then a smiling woman with black gloves approaches me with a soft voice........

Fuck. It's the greatest word in the English language.

The only one I'm denied, Cunt. In the U.S. most women will stab you to death for saying it. Apparently, in other parts of the world, it's at approximately the obscenity level that Fuck is in the U.S.

I love the word because of how vile you can make it sound. Fuck sounds playful and Shit is barely a curse anymore.

There are so many, I'd rather not choose.

Although "god–cursed piss cutting whore sons of bitches" has a certain charm.

A friend recently told me a story attributed to Samuel Clemens.

After his spewing forth a curdling stream of invective, Clemen's wife approached him and asked if he realized what he'd just said. She then repeated verbatim every foul word he'd uttered.

He looked up at her and said "You've got all the words, but you'll never have the tune."

most likely, apochryphal, but the deeper truth is what counts.

It really is the delivery.

"Fuck", but more specifically, "Jesus God damn fucking Christ"! Must be said gutterally, and works best with two-day growth on your face.

If referring to a person, "prick" is simple and to the point. Non-verbal -

Bitch- but I really think that comes under "terms of endearment." If she's doing things right.

"Great balls of fire!"

My Dad was a southerner and a gentleman, even if he was career Army, and when he was really mad in the presence of me and my Mom, he'd let this curse slip from his lips.

I love it! Its majestic and rather unsusal and rolls trippingly off the tongue!

My usual kid friendly cuss is "Rodents" which superceded "Rats"

We were at the coop getting bananas for the inchlet (2yo). When I saw that they were out, I said RATS rather directly.

Inch went a little bonkers trying to see the rats and asking everyone "do you see the rat?"

Luckily it was fairly quiet.
