I like the term “shitfuck” instead. It’s more pointy then the other two, more agressive. It also implies the person has sex with poo. Which is kind of funny. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dirty Earthworm \* > \*\*In the same vein as “cocksucker,” I never understood why “sucks,” or, more specifically, “sucks dick” is considered a bad thing. (i.e., “Wow, Cherry Coke really sucks [dick].”) Ever had your dick sucked? Is that a bad thing? > > I didn’t think so. > > I’m going to go away now. > > -Dirty \*\* When I was a kid, the phrase used was “That really sucks canal water.” Later, that changed to “That really sucks great big green donkey dicks.” I think that is a bad thing. ---

Both are simple expletives, not meaning in reality what they literally mean. So are most swear words. I couldn’t help snickering when one of our neighbors got mad at her own son and called him “a little son of a bitch”. I had to ask if she realized what she’d just said. ---

This reminds of when National Lampoon wrote an article years ago. In a parody of Why Johnny Can’t Read, they did a report on Why Johnny Can’t Cuss. It detailed how children at playgrounds were using incorrect epithets like “You big hell!” and “I don’t give a bastard!” That of course made into the dorm suite lexicon of me and my college buddies. ---

My mom called me a son of a bitch once. I was grounded for a month for agreeing with her. I did not make the above up. It really happened! ---

It really happened! \*\* Yeah, my step-dad used to do the same thing, and when I would stick up for my mom (“Don’t call my mom a bitch, you asshole!”) I would get in even more trouble. From Mom. For swearing at my step-dad. Go figure. -Dirty ---

If there were any logic, “fatherfucker” would be a more insulting epithet than “motherfucker”. From _Alice’s Restaurant_ > [@](#): > > And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W’s where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean ‘n’ ugly ‘n’ nasty ‘n’ horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, “Kid, whad’ya get?” I said, “I didn’t get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage.” He said, “What were you arrested for, kid?” And I said, “Littering.” And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, “And creating a nuisance.” And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.
