View all responses

What percentage of posts written in English are going to talk about giving up the word “fuck”?

25%?
33%?
50%?

Whatever the count ends up being, I am guessing it’s going to be a lot.

While Fuck is definitely the word I should give up, I will not go with that one. No, I do so love that flexible, brilliant, jack-of-all-trades of a word. It is English language at it’s peak. Yes, a filthy little peak mind you, but a peak nonetheless.

No, if it is up to me I would give up a word that I feel makes me sound sort of dumb and a little pretentious at the same time. Basically it’s a word that I just basically over use… basically.

Basically, I would give up the word basically and I would sound a little less like a pompous dumb ass.

Fuck yes, that’s the word I’d remove from my vocabulary. Basically.

Are you holding a grudge? About?

I had to think about this one a bit. Do I have any grudges? A younger version of me was a grudge holding maniac. I could hold a grudge on anyone for anything for any amount of time. I was basically a pro.

Now? Today? I can’t think of anything. Well… I guess I hold a grudge against the New York Yankees and Bucky Dent, but those don’t really count because they are Yankees, right? No, now I think I follow the words of the great Roger Murtaugh when I say I’m too old for this shit.

So yeah, no… I don’t think I am holding any grudges anymore. They take up too much energy. It’s better to just let that crap go and move on with your life. Mental health is important and holding grudges with people who don’t really matter to you over things that are not really important is just bad for you.

Be like that cartoon lady from Frozen and let it go.
