Now here is\u00a0a topic: Gene and I are catching up on watching Doctor Phil episodes. The two episodes we’ve watched today are about this family where the mother is a total\u00a0self absorbed jerk\u00a0and the father is a…hmm, “needy yet simultaneously overbearing asshole” (this is per Gene).<\/p>\n
Gene has now referred to the woman as the C-word. I feel that the C-word is at the top of the Vulgarity Pyramid or the Hierarchy of Vulgarity (that is, I don’t use it because I feel that it’s more than a curse word, that it is a degrading word). I believe that the pyramid is as such (and won’t these be some fun Google searches??): Dammit, hell, shit, asshole, fuck, motherfucker, the “T” word, the “W” word and the “C” word.<\/p>\n
For the record, Gene feels “Fuck” should go on the bottom of the pyramid because it has multiple uses:<\/p>\n
“Fuck, these are good waffles!”<\/p>\n
“Who the fuck made these waffles?”<\/p>\n
“Fuck! Waffles?”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Me: So if we have a little girl you’d use the “C” word?<\/p>\n
Gene: Not in front of her!<\/p>\n
Me: What about when she’s 12? (We curse more in front of the boy now that he is 12 – I guess this is our version of the Bar Mitzvah? “Congratulations! You’re a man! Fuck!”)<\/p>\n
Gene: No!<\/p>\n
Me (shaking fist in victory): So then YOU believe in the hierarchy, too!<\/p>\n
So, readers, I know that most of you are too nice to curse. But, those of you who are like me (foulmouthed sailors), do you feel that certain situations are good for certain curse words?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
