What is it about "bad" words that makes it feel so good to use them?
I have this theory; it is more acceptable to use bad words than to express negative emotions. A string of expletives will soon be forgotten, as Daddy used to always tell me, when you start cussin' folks stop listenin!
My theory is that a rant filled with four letter words is liken to weaving an invisible shield around my real feelin's. It's kinda like a really long sentence...a lot'a shit gets missed.

MisFit
Then it dawned on me. There comes a time when you learn to say,
"Oh my word, sweetie, that is so kind of you...but you know..that's jus' not in my box of givens.
We've all got a set...and a limit, funny thing is lots of times we forget about the limits and keep on tryin on stuff that's just not a fine fit.
Lessons come until you learn'um...or realize how awkward you look tryin.
