45. During their college years, "fuck"...

Thu Dec 15, 2016, 10:13 AM

Dec 2016

...became the go to expletive for our 2 sons, and I got rather used to it.

Of late, it is mine, as well. Nothing else seems to fit. I sometimes augment it with, "goddamned, son-of-a-bitching, mother... blanking" when I need the "ing" form. I mostly use it when I am alone, and amm. hoping I don't slip up and let it fly in polite company.

At 65, I am resisting calling myself old, but I am definitely grumpy.
