I end the year learning a new word.

[kairos12]

Lalochezia. Defined as getting emotional release through uttering curse words.

Example:" Fuck you Chump, you fucking fuck, you fucking reeking pile of steaming offal."

At least I have a word for it now.

Feel better.

1. "Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer." [Mark Twain, a Biography]

For those of us who don't pray, cursing is essential to preserving one's sanity. But I need new cursewords. The old ones are just worn out.

[kairos12]

2. I once came across a book that had a full list

of Shakespeare created insults. They were inspiring.

I should have bought it.

[eppur_se_muova]

4. Well, I had to Google that, and Google completed my search as I was typing -- must be popular!

15. Coffee Mug

Thanks; immediatrly ordered one on Amazon. If you don't want Amazon, you can get it from ETSY and pay more.

[niyad]

34. I want!!!

[Abolishinist]

42. When I was looking online for a pic of my mug to post,

I happened upon this site, which offers my mug but also has a ton of very creative items.

https://philosophersguild.com/collections/coffee-mugs

I like the ones that change colors as they heat up, especially the bird one.

And then there's this one, the Democratic Dream Heat-Changing Mug...

This large ceramic mug depicts the United States divided into red states (GOP leaning) and blue states (Democrat leaning). But when you pour hot liquid in, something miraculous occurs – all of the red states turn blue! Imagine the satisfaction you'll feel as you watch Texas, Arizona, Montana and all those others turn blue and join the good guys. We're not promising anything, but if enough of you buy this mug, it might just come true!

25. Shakespearean insults are the best!

For a while after the 2016 election, I couldn't bring myself to type Slobby's name. I ended up compiling a list of Shkespearen quotes that I could use to refer to him. I wasn't hanging out at DU yet, but I was posting in another politics oriented community, and every time I mentioned him there, I'd say something like "Today the elvish-mark’d, abortive, rooting hog did X" or "Last night the lump of foul deformity said Y."

I found it quite therapeutic at the time. I only did it for a week or 2, but it really helped get through the initial shock of the election results. That was such a traumatic time, I needed all the help I could get!

3. Old movie named "Going Ape"

Tony Danza and Danny Devito. I watch it for the very inventive cursing of Devito, who is learning English in the movie. Juvenile, but funny to me and mine

9. Oh, Trump!

I just Trumped my pants!

[lastlib]

16. Since 2016, "Dump a trump" has been my "go-to" euphemism.....

for doing the dirty business in the toilet. Excuse me, I gotta go dump a trump. It just rolls off the tongue once you learn it.

8. Not a word but "standing on business" has been very prevalent on social media lately.

Mostly used by those who are fairly inarticulate.

[3catwoman3]

10. Where did you find this word and definition?

Dictionary.com doesn’t have it.

[kairos12]

12. I found it in

Wiktionary. More associated with the Greek Language I think.

[niyad]

35. If you google it, you will find a number of references.

They have a title called “History of swear words.” I like it.

[Cherokee100]

18. How about

How about 'trump you' instead of 'f@%k you' ? The seems more appropriate.

[2naSalit]

19. I have considered using that.

[lpbk2713]

28. Go Trump yourself is a good one.

[Warpy]

24. I used to carpool with a Navy pilot

Who could curse like that. I just thought it was him.

[pfitz59]

30. The Navy lives and breathes cursing.

Too little time to quibble over pleasantries, the ship is going down!

[COL Mustard]

41. I knew an Army officer like that too.

This guy could curse for 10 minutes without repeating himself, and almost without taking a breath. He later got reduced from Major General to Second Lieutenant for child molestation.

[DFW]

31. Also known as

Hasa Diga EEbowai

[peacebuzzard]

32. Thanks for the new word. And it actually works during some circumstances.

Sometimes diplomacy requires emphasis. Lots of it, at times.
And you get the point across better than prolonged useless discussions.
