And that is, of course, because I'm a stickler for both clarity and precision when referring to techbros and transphobes.

Which means I should acknowledge that usage count is now three posts.

And to further clarify, while I'm sorry if someone told you there wouldn't be any math today, I am not sorry for anything else.

Thank you.

I'm reminded of a friend of mine in High School who got into an argument with his mom.

She repeatedly kept calling him a "son of a bitch", to which he could only laugh & agree. 😆

While 'motherfuckers' slips most easily off the tongue, I prefer the more accurate 'cousinfuckers'.

And yes, I'm a southerner, and both of my parents were from Alabama, but my mother and father were in no way related. No one in either of their family trees was, to my knowledge, married to a cousin.

Rednecks, yes.

Po' white trash, yes.

But not cousinfuckers.

Who are these language scolds? I've not encountered them yet. They need to get their priorities straight. If they're more worried about curse words than transphobes that sounds like a personal failing.

A picture of a young person sitting hunched against a wall, face in hands, in the shadows of a dumpster thrown by the harsh light of a street lamp. Above the picture are the words "Some people are more offended by me saying fuck than they are about me being hungry."

Below the picture are the words "Fuck, I'm hungry."

It conveys so much meaning and emotional resonance, and is so variable.

I use "fuck" a lot for the same reason. One of the most variable words in the English language.

And as someone who spent a quarter century writing for a living, I think people who are hung up on swearing need to get over their shit because they're just fucking wrong. I'll stop short of actually calling them stupid motherfuckers but you bet I thought it.

Idk how any of you were raised, but I knew in kindergarten that some words were gutter talk. My worst derrogative was "stupid pooper butt," and Sherry was definitely one.

My first exposure to the word "fucker" was the summer between kindergarten and first grade. Two men were doing some kind of maintenance on the storm drain in front of the house that was kitty-corner from my house. I went to watch, even though I wasn't supposed to cross the street that was a highway.

I legit thought they meant to say "sucker" because they were talking about some other man who they didn't like, and who wasn't there.

So when I added the various forms of "fuck" to my vocabulary (at summer camp) I *absolutely* knew why that was gutter talk.

I argued that being offensive is a useful tool in interpersonal communication, the main counter argument, and the one that started the conversation, was that foul language was always unacceptable. Throughout the discussion I was very careful not to use, or endorse, any foul language. Offending idiots is the right of all free thinking people.
