I went to the Bahamas last year with my BFF. It was a blast. We laughed until we cried (and pee’d) and I just have THE BEST memories (and photos to prove it!) of this trip. Haven’t put them in my scrap book yet, but that’s another of MY goals. =)
Take a$$ for instance. There’s no way to pay a really great compliment to someone’s cooking without saying “That is a good-a$$ steak!”
I know, swearing is totally repulsive. Especially for a church-goer. I’ve managed to keep myself from using profanity at work and church. But I’m such a hypocrite to let the words rip at home or while driving (when I’m at my most frustrated) and still be able to sing songs to God with the very same mouth. Shame on me! I gross me out!
So at work I use “Frick” alot. And “sucks”, “crap”, “be-yotch” or any host of other attempts at swearing cleanly. Which is really not much different than using the real words. I guess the deeper issue is to learn to react to frustration in a more healthy and less ignorant way.
