Really, I've never understood why, all things considered, "Judas Iscariot" never caught on as a swear word. It's got a nice rhythm, especially if you draw it out.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I know it is really obnoxious to ask this-- but can I please have an A?
Hey, if you don't ask, you don't get!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Being someone that doesn't swear much -- I get that people don't want to hear things. But If you can't just ask, but have to make a production over it then I tend to lose sympathy.
I like Zeus. -- Of course , Frak has become my word of choice

Because books.
can I have an A because I do, in fact, know the information, and I showed up every day, and participated, plus, I am pretty damn cool.
That's the best laugh I've had all week.

Our wings are not tired.
Brenda, it sounds like an honest email asking a favor. A pain in the ass request, sure, but she asked really nicely it seems? I don't know the backstory though - maybe she's really a jerk-off?
In any case, I love the idea of switching to "motherfucker" instead. You know, out of respect.

This really seems the best and most courteous course of action.

I find that a heartfelt "Blessed Mother!" works well in Utah workplaces. It satisfies the pagan in me and makes everyone around me think I'm Catholic, which is recognizably--and currently acceptably--other so that they don't bother me with church talk.
I have great sympathy, though, for the guy on the other side of the cubicle wall who will let out a strangled "motherfucker!" when he's dealing with frustrating customers.

This I why I took up swear words from sf.

This would be pretty easy, as gingerbread construction goes. Sadly, I don't know enough people who would appreciate it.

Hah. This is funny because I do totally say motherfucker and not Jesus Christ. But seriously, brenda should be able to say whateverthefuck she wants.

Brenda's email is reminding me of the time I was setting up for an event in the children's department of JCPenney, and dropped a table on my foot. I started to yell (very loudly) "MOTHERF*CKER!!!!" but caught myself just in time to say 'MOTHER of GOD!!!!!!".
And then a customer yelled at me for taking the Lord's name in vain in front of her children. Which, seriously, I still think was better than yelling out MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!
