In the words of Bart Simpson, “Hey dad, heard you swearing. Mind if I join in? Crap, boobs, crap.”

Or in the words of a certain little blond five-year-old I know (ahem), “Mommy said shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!”

Cuss your frackin’ head off. And I may use “son of a perverse and rebellious woman.” That’s good.

I am that perverse and rebellious woman, I’m thinking. You just cannot beat the Bible when it comes to good insults.

Until just a few years ago it was legal to sell a child in Oregon. It is now illegal. Here’s to progress.

We were always very Biblical round here, and used to say “Son of a perverse and rebellious woman!” Saul calls David that in I Samuel.
I remember the first time I realized racism still existed–in my innocence (and all-white upbringing), I imagined we were past that now. It was painful, really, to learn that it was not in the past.
Still, though, at least we’re talking about it here in America. In some parts of the world (Mauritania), they’re not even this far yet. At least it’s now (as of July, 2007) an actual crime to own a slave! Progress, people, progress.

I forgot about “Cheese and rice!” but I used to love “Sunken ditch!” for Sonofabitch! Some guy I used to work with used to say that.

Thanks for this post. Totally cracked me up. Some people really have too much time on their hands and waste too much brain power on the things we can’t change when there are so many more important things in the world to be worried about. I thought that the original post was very poignant.
