I showed the kids a BIG JOHNSON t-shirt and said "We should get that for Dad "
I keep picturing this scene in my head.................... makes me laugh every time.
Embarrassed because I had never heard an expression before

Is shit a dirty/obscene word?

well I guess it depends on the context. I could have typed $hit but thought that isn't what the expression is so iopted for the actual word
Wanna report me to the mods?
Oh yeah That's me!
Think I have had too much -- really only had half a glass of Zifandal but my head is spinning and my typing is bad

My parents weren't assimilated into the Borg til I was 12, and before that, we'd been a military family, my dad was in the Navy for 12 years. I knew every cuss word in the universe and every dirty joke because of that.
As a JW it was always really hard for me not to cuss like a sailor. LOL I never did learn to not say, "shit" when I stubbed my toe.
I'm afraid I have a very foul mouth when I'm angry...or intense or being funny. I worked as a bartender as a Witness, my parents believed I was doing my chef's job (still living at home and single in my mid twenties), but I'd sub in the bar occasionally at the country club where I worked for extra money and I made good tips because I knew a lot of bawdy jokes and had a witty retort ready for nearly anything. I flirted shamelessly and got propositioned a lot by drunks. LOL
Yeah, talk about your double life...I was doing it right. Oooh, the guilt, but man, I had so much more fun being "worldly".

I remember a very lovely and classy older JW woman who was quite innocent and she would go out in service and be very upbeat and perky. I was with her one day and the householder interrupted her schpiel about the paradise and asked her, "Lady, are you gay or something?"
She cluelessly replied, "Well, I usually am pretty happy." and smiled at him. The householder was speechless. I was trying so hard not to crack up that I about wet myself.
On the way to the car, I explained to her gently what "gay" meant in that context. Insults just don't work when you haven't a clue what they mean, I guess.
She was a sweet and good hearted person, passed away about 12 years ago.

Hilarious! I always wanted to start a thread on phrases lost on jw's! (not sure if all here would have gotten them though)
