Epithets

2003-07-17 17:56:27.303259+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

David Chess is searching for epithets:

I mean, shouting "that's because he's a fuckhead!" suggests that there's something wrong with fucking and/or heads, and that's silly. "Bastard" has the same problem (no shame in one's parents not being married), and even "asshole" seems to do an unfair disservice to a useful, and even erogenous, body part. "Shithead" is marginally more acceptable, but is even shit really so bad, compared to your average lying cheating stealing politico? I don't think so.

I know the feeling.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
