You know the one

Whatever happened to using regular everyday words to cast an insult? Like saying that what someone says isdubious and hypocritcal instead of telling them they are full of shit!
I'm thinking the challenge today should be to make those we don't see eye to eye with say, "Huh? Instead of pissing them off by saying, "Go f#@* yourself and the horse you rode in on!"

I've been tryin'... in vain, mostly... to clean up my language ever since I got out of the Air Force. But I think a well-placed f-bomb really works from time to time... just not ALL the time.

One has to be judicious in the use of expletives. That way, they carry more power. When someone who almost never swears drops the f-bomb, it catches everyone's attention!
