| Expletives can be funny :P Posted: 7/15/2009 7:20:42 AM | I think swearing can be a very effective way in which to express yourself. It certainly carries more weight if used sparingly under the right circumstances. We have a great language with all kinds of weird and wonderful vocabulary from which to choose. It seems a shame to limit yourself to three or four expletives.
I swear myself , but I'm aware what I'm saying and the type of environment I'm in. A girl I used to date a good while ago, had a quirky turn of phrase. It seems I've subconsciously picked up a few of her quirks. EG: Where I would have previously said " Feck me ! " in surprise . I might now use one of the following instead , " Good God / Good Grief / Goodness me ! " I get some right funny looks off my mates sometimes.
Certain words amuse me though and I'm not sure why. Eg: Ars*hole , Bollox . The funniest thing I've seen or heard in a long time happened a few ago in town at a bus stop. This little old lady stuck her hand out to flag the bus and it just drove straight past without stopping. Totally out of the blue , she give him a one finger gesture and shouted " You fuc*ing Ballbag " Well I couldn't contain myself and burst out laughing and could not stop . She was glaring at me . It was priceless . Ballbag....LMFAO.... | |
