Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOne of my New Year's resolutions was to cuss less...
Then trump did his worse than usual shit, my hernia fucked up, vaguely related family members still supporting that orange shit stain. I decided it's the wrong year to make that resolution. Think I'll go with remembering to add fabric softener to my laundry. Seems totally doable.

(7 posts)I worked for a major defense contractor as a buyer. The CEO's secretary called up about some books they had ordered. I had just recently taken over the military side as well as the commercial side and she had not gone through the normal channels to place the order. So when she called and started condemning me I told her to shut the fuck up and slammed down the phone. My boss was sitting with me at the time. Luckily he did not immediately fire me, but defended me. I found I am on the autism spectrum with Aspergers and reacting badly was a trait of that affliction.

I've been battling it myself for the past three years. Hopefully it will have run its course this coming November.

(63,221 posts)I am the type of person who, if I say even a mild curse word at work, people are shocked. It is so out of character for me in public. Little do they know I swear like a drunken sailor whenever the subject is Trump related and I am on the internet. Hopefully one of these days I will become a mild-mannered, soft-spoken human being again, but until he is out of office, all bets are off.

Remembering fabric softener seems like a very achievable resolution.

(14,024 posts)I'm more of a 'fark' and 'feck' sort, but I'll try to squeeze 'fook' into the rotation.
Is that 'fook' rhyming with 'book', or 'kook'?

(24,007 posts)...where I first heard the fook pronunciation. It is extremely liberally used over there. On one bus trip, I started counting how often I heard it in a 3-way conversation between some young teenage girls - probably middle school age. In that 30 minute bus ride, I counted 150 utterances of fook in one variety or another.
LOL - auto-correct wants to change it to food.

(13,108 posts)There has never been a more appropriate time to cuss about the destruction of our institutions and the massive
amount of unqualified judges being appointed all over the country.
Trump and his party are vile and evil.
The Evangelical cult and the Trump cult have joined forces.
I think that deems cussing appropriate.
