You can go here to read about it's origin. https://www.etymonline.com/search?page=1&q=fuck I was going to include all the history and quotes but it is way too long. It amuses me a lot to read what really happened to make it a bad word, In that regard I will share this brief snippet, <br />"Fuck was outlawed in print in England (by the Obscene Publications Act, 1857) and the U.S. (by the Comstock Act, 1873). The word continued in common speech, however."<br />Both of those laws were heavily steeped in religion. Go figure.

He would get me so mad I would be beside myself with anger trying to spit out words bad enough that would make his hair curl. I'm divorced now and have toned it right back down again but I still say it more than I care to. It does have a certain satisfactory ring to it though doesn't it! My friend made me laugh many years ago though. He is married to a Spanish lady and told me he realized he was swearing too much when one day he was trying to put some lights up and it just wasn't happening, so his little girl - about 3-4 years old - said "oh daddy are the fuckin' luzes not working"? Said his wife nearly killed him!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-68585548329267987532019-12-28T09:53:12.523-05:002019-12-28T09:53:12.523-05:00I love this :) I cuss like a sailor too.I love this :) I cuss like a sailor too.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671446238805535547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-80679860230381747292019-12-28T09:48:44.338-05:002019-12-28T09:48:44.338-05:00let all us ladies that fucking swear like sailors ...let all us ladies that fucking swear like sailors stand up and be proud! it still amazes me that some people are shocked by that word. it's such a useful glorious word. and I imagine it will creep into Owen's vocabulary sooner rather than later. he has such a good role model!ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-61501983214040253602019-12-28T09:44:50.277-05:002019-12-28T09:44:50.277-05:00Hahaha!

Speaking of swearing, I've noticed lately that when I leave work in the afternoon I immediately get a potty mouth on the drive home. Everything is "Fuck this" and "Fuck that" and my current favorite, "Where the fuck did you learn to drive, idiot?!" I realized I was doing it AGAIN the other day and after I thought about it for a while I decided it must be a reaction to working in the school office and talking to approximately 1000 people each day and having to be super friendly and polite to them all as part of my job. Everything is "Sir" and "Ma'am" (Sweetie and Sweetheart if it's a child) and smiling and acting professional even with irate parents and stressed out staff. When I leave I seem to psychologically bust loose and get out all my frustration by swearing at other drivers (or NPR news on the radio when 45 has done something especially egregious) but I do feel a little silly about it. :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-83339090293500204772019-12-28T06:42:47.132-05:002019-12-28T06:42:47.132-05:00I suspect Owen loved it!I suspect Owen loved it!37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-58308989967985909692019-12-28T00:46:19.813-05:002019-12-28T00:46:19.813-05:00I swear a lot and I enjoy it a lot.
