I say fuck
 

I find it funny that there are still a set of people who don't like it when someone says fuck around them

The old man at work, he had to tell me early on, he doesn't really like it when I say fuck

I'm fine with not saying it if people prefer so. I'm happy to try to bend my language to suit their retarded sensibilities

But I never told the old man to stop saying nigger around me...

So I don't say fuck in the office. But yesterday, I described something as being "one red cunt hair off". One red cunt hair is, of course, the smallest unit of measure. I learned the phrase 30 years ago from a very solid professional engineer, who explained that "It's an industry term."

But I noticed that when I said "cunt", the old man tensed up for a second. I didn't really think I was saying "cunt", I was saying "red cunt hair" and I feel that's a very different thing, being an industry term and all.

So I felt bad for a little while, and then I noticed... the old man started saying "fuck" around me, on three occasions in the last two days.

Come on old man! Are ya with me? Let's say fuck! It doesn't mean anything! Be an old bulldog with me and let's fucking say fuck.

I am going to play the Blake scene of Glengarry Glen Ross for the office soon. We are going to say fuck in the office. It's a sales office and we are men. For Christ, some of us drink Scotch. The pope ain't listening. Let's say fuck.

DAMN, sometimes you are just so fun to read.

Pico, that is nice of you to say, thank you!

It's true! In fact, it's FUCKING true!

It's one of my favorite words, the "fuck" and the derivations thereof. When I was younger it was "fuckin'" as in 'fuckin' A, man" but as I've gotten older I've refined it to "fuCKing."

I do turn it off and on, as needed. But it's a great word. No doubt about it. No fuCKing doubt.

p.s. foot: The Wire. I fucking loved that show! I own the DVDs, of course.

That's terrible, I would never stoop to that kind of language. :angel:

I still remember this funny old interview of a Mexican singer releasing her first crossover album in English. At 2:40 the question is ¿Tu palabra favorita en español? (Your favorite word in Spanish?) to which she thoughtfully replies "Libertad" (Liberty). Next, at 2:48, the question is ¿Tu palabra favorita en inglés? (Your favorite word in English?) She replies with [you guessed it]. Love the contrast in her expressions between the two!

I did. It was a weird moment.

I said nigger once in front of my father. I was VERY young. Dunno where I heard it or what it even meant. My dad grabbed me by the front of my shirt and threw me over the ping pong table, across the room and onto an old couch. HE IMMEDIATELY got my attention and we had a looooong talk. I learned a lot from my dad that day.

But fuck? c'mon old man. ;)

My wife and I watched this for the first time last week. About 2 minutes in, I turned to her and said "It's been a long time since they've said anything other than fuck". After that we laughed and laughed.

I thought the smallest unit of measure was a split red cunt hair.

Some of the best dialogue ever written for a show. Fuckin A Skippy.

The woman in charge of the new store set-up at work (which is having a few IT issues....) says fuck A LOT. and Fucking Ho. And that's just for things like boxes that won't open. I find it hilarious, but I'm surprised she gets away with it. She works damn hard, though and is good at it. without her, there wouldn't be a load of new stores coming up.
