We were also not allowed to say "shut up"
us neither! That or the "n" word were the only things that would get your mouth washed out with soap.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My Mother never heard the word "fuck" until she went to college.
I think I heard the word "fuck" maybe a half-dozen times before I went to college. Um, not counting movies... and I must have had an album or two with the f-word....

I was suprised that I found the swearing in Deadwood so off putting but I found the show unwatchable because of it.
Me too. I couldn’t handle it. The rampant use of the c word was so offputting.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Hivemind Question: I'm working on a screenplay right now (no mocking, I beg you), and I am in need of an illness or condition that is chronic and requires regular short stays in the hospital (could be as frequent as a few days a month or maybe a bit longer a few times a year) but that is not life-threatening or overly debilitating (at least not when treated). The character thinks of this condition as annoying rather than frightening. I don't want to give her migraines since those tend to be very debilitating. Thoughts?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I made it to 13 before I swore at one of my parents, which was a couple of years better than my sister.

I can't think of anything that's not eventually fatal

Ann, that's a ferret.
My parents were strict about bad language. I got away with quoting something to my mother, which included a "damn," when I was about 12. I think that was about as far as I went in front of them until the relationship really fell apart.
One thing about using strong language sparingly. When you do use it, people take notice.

But if it's a screenplay you can just make something up. She suffers from chronic handuavia.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And Kristin, the closest I can think of might be a kidney problem involving dialysis. But that's more like half a day a couple of times a week.

Punishingly Intricate
My Mother never heard the word "fuck" until she went to college. She i had seen it in grafitti and was aware of its existance.
That reminds me that I got in trouble in 2nd grade for writing FUCK YOU up on the board when Miss Foster was out of the classroom. I wasn't angry or anything I just knew that it would entertain the other kids. Thus began my long career in showbiz (after a brief stay in Miss Foster's timeout cubbyhole).
