I think that profanity-profanity combinations are currently Class 2 insults, no permit required, unrestricted use in the BBQ Pit, in season. Examples include dicktwat, assbastard, and hellfuck.

Actually, it really IS an insult for those of us who hate cats! In fact I’d be much more likely to use that one than any of the ones on the chart. Wow, thanks **Fish**! I simultaneously take it back and affirm it!

Although it does seem to demand hyphenation to avoid appearing as “catcheese”-- which, I dunno, sort of looks like it might be a secret language exclusive to catchers. Or something.

I hereby authorize you to make your own profanity-noun chart. Go and sin no more. 😉

If you use skillet, do you need PAM, or will any old non-stick oil do?

As long as there’s profanity-noun agreement. If you use fuckskillet, obviously you must use either fuckpam or fuckoil. I wouldn’t recommend using fuckbutter because fuckbutter has a low fucksmokefuckpoint.

I disagree; it’s perfectly acceptable to use fuckbutter, you just have to know what you’re doing.

Somehow putting semen in the hot skillet seems about right here.

What about when there is bacon added? I’ve heard adding bacon makes EVERYTHING better. Do i need the good thick country sliced bacon, or will fake bacon bits be ok in a pinch? Seems like real bacon would add enough lube, but the baco-bits would fall short on the lube front…
