Curse words are hella fun.
See that? Just used a fun (semi) curse word to illustrate my point! They make speech grittier, and more real, and when you want to say something without sounding pretentious, they are really useful.
But often overused. Especially by me.
Which is why I have instituted my new system. If you are with me, and I use a curse word, I must pay you money. (Gotta hit me where it hurts, you know?).
F--- gets you a quarter.
S--- gets you a dime.
D--- gets you a nickel.
Interestingly enough, this system is actually working. I have begun to substitute words like "Shittake" and "Fudge it" for other, more pungent, phrases.
Cursing is also one of those things, like smoking and drinking, that boys - at least chassidish boys - seem surprised and somewhat unnerved to realize girls might do. (Someone, please help me with that sentence. It is structured horribly, but its 12:58 and I have no patience for reconstructing it. Also, will someone please help me figure what the word for remodeling a dress is?)
I still remember talking to a bochur once about what I like to drink, and being rather amused at his thinly veiled horror.
Ironically enough, when it comes to cursing, I am more shocked to hear a boy (especially bochurim) curse than when I hear women curse. When I hear women curse, it's usually one of my friends. It's one of those things we do in our more private conversations. I don't usually have that many private conversations with men, so less overhearing of cursing, ergo, when I do hear a guy curse, it's in public, and I feel the shock value of a crude word more severely.
Ok.
I have voided my brain of those thoughts.
Maybe tomorrow I'll ease into a post that delves a little deeper into the workings of my current psycho-emotional status.

BH I have managed to go through life without ever using profanity in the way it was intended, or indeed in any way...
Just saying.
:)
Inspiring.
Altered, taken-in, taken-out.
Thinly veiled horror=very endearing.
I like this post. Very true indeed.
I know guys who curse like every other word in a sentence. Its not very attractive. But for some reason guys find it attractive when girls curse. Beats me.
"But for some reason guys find it attractive when girls curse."
You know this from where? Because all the guys I know, and I, don't find it very attractive at all.
Where would I know it from? Hmm, no sources.
So you just said something without having any proof to back it up? That's ridiculous.
No, I meant that I will not disclose my sources.
Yes, there are proofs, but it's mainly from the non jewish world, where talking 'trashy' is looked up to, instead of down upon.
And yes I know people who think a girl cursing is attractive, or 'turns them on', but I will not share with you my source.
what's remodeling a dress? You mean altering?
wtf is the point? i mean, wtf cares?
of not cursing, or the entire post?
both
i do.
Anon, we care. Duh.
Other anonymous people. Alot.
anon that 50 cents right there
even if its abreviated?
i anit making the rools to this game - who even knows if its got rools
is that how they spell it in England?
Well t here should be rules. Like what if you curse when no one is around. Do you still gotta pay?
i just checked it up. yah. you gotta pay. sorry.
hey!
thatl be 1.25 for wat you just said.
what?? where do u see a curse in my comment?
between the lines
I'm not paying you 1.25 for a curse that I dont even remember saying. Even if you can read it between the lines.
a rool is a rool.
RULE. The way you spell it is not even a word.
Where did I curse? What word do you see 'between the lines'?
reelly? did you look it up?
Well you forced me to. And this is what dictionary.com said:
No results found for rool:
So I guess not.
i guess not wat?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rool
^ ^ you can't use urban dictionary as your reference. It's a dictionary of made up 'hip' words.
how long do you think were gona carry on this conversation
Just until you admit that you said a word that does not exist.
ok then. i admit it. rool is not a werd.
you are THAT sick of talking to me?
Thanks.
wat? am i sposed to lie just to carry on the conversation?
you do have the option of ignoring it and not responding at all. I'm not forcing you to keep replying.
oh
Classic E response.
(feel free not to answer.)
ok
OMG-Did you ever hear of chat?????
:) sure.
but i'm pretty sure good bochurim like dowy dont chat with girls.
C: You think they'd make a good match?
trs- still trying to get my shadchanus gelt?
Sure thing.

'i curse and i dont know why and i have to hide it cuz im chassidish'
If you are 'chassidish' why do you curse? Or just be honest about it, and not hide it. Dont be contradictory.
I have no problem with 'chassidish' girls, though I myself am not really sure I fit in that category.
And I have no problem with girls who curse, I do that myself, though I know it may not be nice.
But I DO have a problem with someone saying, 'I'm really one way inside, but I have to hide that from the outside world cuz of my reputation.'
Honesty is the best policy.
Then you truly are anonymous in blog world and the real one. If you arent being you for the sake of being 'you', and both are a farce, then exactly when are you you, and who is that anyway? j
anon- are you referring to me?
Nope, other less blog appreciative anon.
ugh, why cant u ppl just get names? with so many anons, how do u expect me to remember who's who?
Theres only 2 i think. Me, J, ive posted like 4 times and other posted twice. Im the pro post one.
TRS-Honestly, I don't know and don't really care that much... I think I'm gonna have to stop subscribing to comments though, cuz there is some serious junk that people write just for the sake of being heard.
C: "TRS-Honestly, I don't know and don't really care that much..."
You sound pretty bitter there. I was just trying to make a joke...
It's funny. I laughed when I read it. But these comments have been annoying me since then, so now I'm annoyed.
But, yeah, kinda funny comment :P.
P.S: What are you doing on blogger? I thought you gave it up temporarily...
Im sorry you werent please? J

trs - ill hav to get u back for that one.
apologisies for any inconveniance caused.
Dowy-No worries. My fault for subscribing.
BTW... so weird to pass you in the street now that I know who you are :).
