Swearing ---- I forgot about that detestable habit. That is because I swear so much, it's second nature these days. I never used to swear
OMG..I can't believe I forgot swearing too...you see, it's so second nature to me also that I don't even think of it as a bad habit, and I can't say I never used to swear, unless I go to the "LIES" thread....
Okay...Right off, I'll admit it I love to swear...nothing gets the feelings and emotions across like, "I can't believe this bumble c**k s****r bee just stung me."...or as in referring to politicians..."What a bunch of f***king idiot swamp leaches.", or in the case of pain, such as if I smash my finger in the car door, or something equally painful, like a 1000 pound horse standing on my instep, while stomping the ground with his opposite leg, as he snakes his head around to take a bite of flesh from my arm at the same time....M****r F*****ker, SOB, B*****d, is indeed very helpful and soothing.
Spewing out as many swear words that comes to mind in one long string, without taking a breath is especially effective in dire situations.
Also, swearing releases a lot of anger that may have prevented me from kicking a dent in the car door or giving the stallion a pointed boot where it is most effective.
Somehow swearing makes pain feel better, so much quicker.
I've learned there are places where it is not appropriate to swear, for instance, where I am not in control of the situation, such as during mammos, or other unpleasant medical procedures.
Technicians and doctors seem to view swearing as a personal affront, and restraining myself seems to curtail them from smashing the melons even more, or exacting more pain than necessary for some other dastardly deed they are performing..
Actually, I don't count swearing as a bad habit, as much as a means to an end.
