Cats

Nothing like the hilarity of four paws with very sharp claws digging into your boyfriend’s back and the screaming that ensues.

Glass. There is nothing in the world that will calm me down from a rage quicker than throwing glass at a wall. That glorious crunch of the glass shattering, the pretty shards all around, the oddly fulfilling feeling that breaking something into a gazillion pieces and knowing it will never be whole again gives you.

Also, doing it somewhere that you don’t have to clean it up is a good idea, cause that’s not as fun.

I’ve actually gone out and bought cheap dollar-store “porcelain” figurines to smash on the ground. Made me feel a whole lot better. I am **Antigen** , destroyer!  
True, though, the clean-up is no fun.

A wang dang doodle.

Bitches are usually pitched, does that count?

Your hat in the ring.

Another bean in the pot.

Why not? This is not for money.

Also to be considered:

Toss  
Hurl  
Chuck (or as we said in Alabama, chunk)  
Sling  
Heave

Any more synonyms?

How far can we go with this?

Never heard this one before, but it’s my new catchphrase. Maybe we can set it to music.
