Big Boy
At 3 years old I remember running into the other room to show everyone my new word
“****” I said. “****”
I was so pleased at myself. I was a big boy. I knew loads of words.
I went everywhere saying “****”
Anywhere I went inside and outside the house “****”
They couldn’t stop me saying “****”
Even writing this I am tempted to say “****”
Grandmother Saves the day
My Grandmother took me to one side.
She was telling me a secret. I felt special.
I knew an even better word.
I ran into the next room, shouting :
“Sausages.”
I was a big boy.
Are you blonkers?
What’s your favorite vegetable replacement for a swear word?
Can I recommend “kumquat the fig off?”
The rebel fish

Well I’ve grown up now, but still like to use vegetables instead of swear words

I do wonder if we’re going to have to invent some new types of swearing.
In a time where the eff word is used as punctuation or a prefix,
The shock, drama, aggression and emphasis is being lost from over use.
Cussing like a dock yard welder in the work place appears acceptable.
I can remember a time when it wasn’t.
The eff word is adaptable and has a wide range of meanings,
“It’s f**ked” for example, means something is beyond repair or doomed without long winded technical explanations.

we’ve run out of body parts and activities that can be seen as unacceptable, so perhaps moving on to vegetable will work..
