Friends, it's time to create our own uplifting expressions for when we are frustrated and inject them generously into the population. My hope is that a surplus of wholesome expressions will drive out nasty ones.
Because, y'all, I am sick unto death of being blasted with the F-word and then the perpetrators hiding behind the excuse that it is "adult language".
REALLY?
So adult means that you retreat to the lowest common denominator and call it good? I thought adult meant that you were conquering your weaknesses and accepting your responsibilities so that you are actually a role model for children.
Anyway, if the F-word is your go-to expression, it's high time to get over it. It's a lazy way to express yourself--like using "nice" and "very". "F*ck" and all its coarse iterations is overused, worn out, and scummy. Let's categorize it as word pollution and erect billboards demanding its defeat.
My grandparents used expressions like "Land o' Goshen!"; "Holy Hannah!", and "Lord help us and save us". They edified instead of dragging one down.
But that was a Christian culture.
