Once upon a time, I was an angry punk kid with a sailor mouth. Over time, I realized that foul language wasn't as mature or funny as I thought, so I started using other phrases. (I was still an angry punk kid, mind you.) I'm not angry anymore, but I still use some of my innocuous "replacement words."My mom hates them. They start with the same first letter, so they're naturally equivalent in every way.
But hey, at least I'm not going around calling people "Nintendos."
"Nintendo" is a perfectly good name to call those crazy yahoos!
ReplyDeletehaha Yeah, I've got a mouth on me--should do the same. Replacement words. Hey, not-so-angry, punk kid, we should talk sometime.
