The worst you can call a man is a word like dick or prick that is slang for penis. Of course, you can call him a son of a bitch, but that’s just full circle, isn’t it? Believe me, I find nothing dirty about those fair demesnes betwixt the female thighs. At least… not until we’re done! Woof! Woof! Woof! _sigh_ ---

Thanks. Until this article, I’d never seen ‘sophisticate’ used as a verb. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Thanks. Until this article, I’d never seen ‘sophisticate’ used as a verb. Yeah, biased article! They use (sic) freely to laugh at this woman’s grotesque mangling of the English language, but overlook Sheriff Friendly’s use of “sophisticate” as a verb. _“Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik told the Green Valley News and Sun that Forde was trying right up until her arrest Friday “to get together a large amount of money to further sophisticate the type of operation she’s interested in.””_ Indictments all around, I say. ---

The worst you can call a man is a word like dick or prick that is slang for penis. Of course, you can call him a son of a bitch, but that’s just full circle, isn’t it? Mind you, if you dare point that out, the outcry goes up that you are an uptight feminazi, probably need a good fucking, and similar items. ---
