I started a thread entitled “The F Word”, about the grade of F, but I was thinking that we all understand what the phrase ‘the F word’ really means. Can we make up an entire alphabet of letters that connote a universally understood term?
I’ve got the F word, of course, the L-word, the N-word, the c-word. Any others I’m missing?
The L word?
Lynch? Lick? Luxemborg? Loopy?
N and C and F I can figure out, but L?
I think he might mean “love.” Us commitment-phobes call it “the L-word.”
Either that or Lycanthropy, one or the other.
I vote for Lycanthropy, I can’t think of any others though. Around our place the C word is Chevy, because we all drive fords except for my SO who insisted on buying a Durango. :smack:
I don’t want to give it away. Can someone give “the Man” a hint? It may be the dirtiest thing you can call someone in politics. Does that help?
Oh, “Liberal”?
Not a dirty word in my house.

Liar!!! WHOOOOOOOT!
you forgot the S-word? (Even though the pen is mightier than it ;))
Both T and A. And T&A.
Also the M-word.
For certain commitment-phobes, Twickster.
You typed the P word.
[Beavis and Buthead laugh} Ha hahahahahaha[Beavis and Buthead Laugh]
(or one possible variation of the P word)
Wait. What’s the T-word? or the A-word? “T&A” means something, but separately, I don’t think either means much.
I’d like to write a story using all of these:
My twelve-year-old was sent home from school today. His teacher sent a note saying he’d used 'the F-word" in class.
“Jake,” I said, “I thought we’d discussed this. The S-word is okay at home but you’re not to use the F-word anywhere. You know that, son.”
“Aw, Dad,” Jake said, looking at the floor. “That teacher’s a prissy little—N-word who don’;t let us say what’s on our minds.”
Now, I may be a little old-fashioned, and more than a little bit of the old L-word, but that kind of thinking set me back.
"Son, " I said, “I do not want to hear you talking about people like that at all, you understand me?”
“Why not?” he challenged me. “Don’t I have to take a lot of the S-word around school because you and mom never got, you know.”
“Go ahead, say it.”
“The M-word,” he said, again casting his eyes away from mine.
And so on.
See you in Toledo.
I thouhgt I was going to See you next Tuesday?
