Later I saw in both cases, my parents didn't really drink or "cuss" to explain my own disinterest. I don't ever recall my dad swearing, and I was surprised even once he said "Oh nuts!" when he forgot something and had to drive home again. While my mom, one of 7 kids had more passion, and had phrases like "Damn damn double damn" in a moment of family private rage at least, but I never recall her labeling people. <br /><br />I go with the idea that less you swear generally, the more people will know something is very wrong when you do. But I also don't take offense at swearing, and I tend to take name-calling literally and don't respond since it often doesn't make clear literal sense.<br /><br />On honesty, I remember a comedian in the early 1990s who said everyone was a creep or an asshole, and he explained an asshole is someone who will tell you the truth, someone whose motives are transparent, and creep is someone who won't and who isn't, and I thought that was a useful distinction for remember.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-9794454560604983992018-07-08T11:31:26.774-07:002018-07-08T11:31:26.774-07:00It is a matter of personal experience that any wom...It is a matter of personal experience that any woman who routinely uses the word "fuck", will.
