No fucking way!

Pardon the language, but I thought it was appropriate as I just finished reading Expletive Deleted $&#@*!: a good look at bad language.  A somewhat amusing and sometimes dull look at how and why we curse/use foul language.  You know how when you read or say a word too many times it starts sounding all wierd?  Well, that happened for me in the "Shit Happens" chapter.  At least I have a new appreciation of the many and wonderful combinations of that lovely word.

By far the best thing I found in the book was this little gem.  Once upon a time "harlot" and "wench" were neither gender specific nor pejorative.  WAH!  I'm so so sorry that I missed the opportunity to use "wench" on a guy!  I'd love for that to come back into use any day now (but for the most fun to be extracted, it'd have to retain the modern insult aspect) ^__^

Winter is the only time to go

One of my other New Year's resolutions was not to say I'd write more on XZY topic in my LJ later then not follow through. So I didn't say that about my Arizona trip, but here I am in a chatty mood so I thought I'd write more about it. Warning, I'm in a really, really chatty mood so read at your own risk ^__^
