“asshuffer” is useful sometimes… ---

I seldom swear out loud. I have a real fear though, that when I have a stroke at age 78 and my speech center becomes all messed-up, the only words I will be able to mutter are these awful, funny, cringe-worthy cusses that I’ve read on this message board. The doctor will be disgusted with me, the nurses will avoid my room, teenagers volunteering in the nursing home (trying to get brownie points for their college applications) will snicker and make me talk dirty some more. How humiliating. ---

I like “Fluff”. Smurf is also quite effective (Well can you think of any other reason for them to say it every other word? It _has_ to be an expletive :)) Failing that I usually settle for Fuck, bugger, any of the standard ones really. ---

I picked up the proper usage of “ass” and “damn” from my grandmother, a middle-class suburban housewife who was apparently a sailor in an earlier life. While our house wasn’t quite the Osbournes’, a casual “Where the hell’s the remote” as a teenager never turned anyone’s head. “Bastard!” is one of my favorite all-purpose words. Not too offensive, rolls easily off the tongue. “Bloody” and “bollocks” have crept into my vocabulary, as has “fucktard” and “asshat.” ---

**SkyKing:** \*…also as an adverb (Anne is a good fuck). It makes a wonderful adjective (Anne is fucking beautiful)… \* What you describe as an adverb in the first example is actually a noun, and what you call an adjective in the second example is actually an adverb. Dumbfuck. 😃 Obscenities are all very well but I think profanities usually have a more satisfying thunderous roar. My favorite for moments of extreme exasperation is the old-fashioned “HELL and DAMNATION!!” ---

_Jou Ma se Poes!_[joe-mah-suh-puss] is possibly the most non-racial offensive thing you can say to a South African. Works best if said in a Cape Flats Coloured accent. Otherwise, I like the word “cunt”. Certainly seems effective on this board. Oh, and godbotherer. ---
