So I don't know how many of you feel this way, but I , for one, am perplexed by women who abuse all the time. Let me rephrase, I'm perplexed by people who abuse all the time.
One of the most over-used (I was going to say abused, but then it seemed cliched) words of all time is the F-word. There are people I've known who find it essential to use the word fuck (this is an R-rated blog post) in almost every single sentence that leaves their mouth. "Fuck you..yada yada" or "F that shit .. etc etc" or "you etc etc fucking etc etc". I mean how hard is it to not use the same word again and again? The English vocabulary is very very vast, and people who are giving/have given the GRE will nod their heads solemnly when they read this. For the rest of you guys who read well, you should still agree. But I digress. Inspite of having a gazillion words, of which I'm sure a good many are abuses, why, why is it so so life essential to use the word "fuck" ?
Don't get me wrong. I'm no babe in the woods/Mother Mary idolizer. I nurture a healthy appreciation for gutter language as much as the next self respecting person. But I also pride myself on knowing more than one swear word. I fail to understand how one's frustrations are alleviated by wishing/hoping/suggesting that whoever/ whatever has angered or upset you, should get laid. No discrimination between a crappy printer or a shitty ex-boyfriend. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it supposed to be a pleasurable experience (well mostly anyway) ? Then why would you WISH that on some a**hole who pissed you off??? ALSO, I haven't understood the full significance of "kiss my ass". I mean , all I can think of when people say that, is why? Like..why?
Yesterday morning, when I was at work, checking my email, reading the news and finding other ways of procrastinating, one of my best friends sends me some chat transcripts of a conversation (I use this term very liberally, and you would know why if you read those chats) that he had with a girl who apparently likes him. The interesting part here is that she is his girlfriend's roommate and "very close" friend. So far so good. I mean ok , she likes him even though he's her roommate's boyfriend , but whatever. I don't judge, because I've been in sticky situations before. BUT I've never reacted the way this babe has. So lets call my friend X, this girl Y, and his girlfriend Z.
X is recovering from chickenpox. And Y insists on calling him poxy foxy. You heard it right- poxy foxy. Still, X being the nice people-loving person that he is, decides to let that pass, God bless his soul. Y then proceeds to instruct him to have tea/soup , and light digestive "bikies" as she endearingly calls them (thats right - biscuits). She then continues with giving him a discourse about how he isn't meant to be with Z, and that he has a fucking attitude, which by the way, he apparently needs to "keep up his ass". She rants on for 3 webpages about how he should fuck everything, how she wishes everything would be fucked, and how everyone world wide will fuck everything. (I might be misinterpreting here, but by this point I had a splitting headache, and there was just so much that I could digest...after all I didn't have the "bikies" :P) She also insists on calling him "my love", which is immediately followed by a "go to hell, I don't know you anymore, bye". And just when you feel "Yes YES, she's FINALLY ending this conversation", she comes back with a "But my love, you ..". At that point, I almost yelled out, "NO NO, Don't dangle the dream and take it away!!". So I steeled myself and started to read again (before you ask me WHY? , I'll have you know that X wanted me to analyze the chat , and see if I saw what he saw. Now I don't know what he saw, but all I saw was someone who needed immediate psychiatric attention and intense medication). Anyway, she then transcended new levels of stupidity, and began calling him a dumb "phak" (read fuck), and oh, also found herself thoroughly amusing, and kept laughing at her own brilliance. To cut a long story short (It was way longer than this - BELIEVE you me!! ), after prolonged profanities, and excessive usage of "phak", she concluded her discourse with telling him not to eat proteins , "which means eggs, chicken ok my love??"
All I can say is, the F-word is like stocks and shares - it has its highs and its lows. And like with stocks, unfortunately, this seems to be an all time low. Another friend of mine, capitalizing on this ..shall we say, situation, , has started work on a book -"The effective use of Expletives - Tips from a fucking expert" . I'm thinking a collector's edition of that has got to be express delivered to Y.
Its too bad my lab doesn't have a bar, because I'm tellin you, I needed shots after this. And X (he knows who he is) owes me for this big time! Because I'm telling you, its not easy to read sentences that have "d" in place of "the". Or ""dis" in place of "this". Or "n" in place of "and". I mean, for crying out loud, its A , N, fucking D!! How hard is that????? But of course, rants of this nature merit another post ;)
