    Lady Lee,

    you may think I'm jokin' but whenever I hurt my hand or stump my toe

    the only thing that helps the pain is a good cuss word. I tried not to cuss

    one time after I got my finger caught in the door and it took so long to stop

    hurtin' I'm not tryin' to prop up cussin' but it's a pain killer. no joke

    I agree. In fact I was auditing a class on linguistics and the prof was saying that some studies show there is an emotional impact that we get from certain sounds letters and letter combinations such as:

    f, t, p, d, ck, and sh

    all when said forcefully can almost explode from the mouth release the emotional response. I thought it was an interesting study. Interesting that in english most of our swear words contain at least on or more of those letters ot letter combinations.

    According to the theory saying puck should have the same emotional release as the other word lol Must try that some time

    lol Must try that some time

    Good idea, I'm gonna try substituting "chuck" for the f-bomb. My kids should get a kick out that.

    the example he gave in class was fire truck

    it has the F the T and the CK

    your CH is also one of the good sounds to use

    The word 'hell' was hotly disputed in my household and BOE.....

    Hell afterall is Sheol and that is just mankind's common grave (geez where the hell is the JW logic when you need it!)

    JW logic, a prime example of an oxymoron.
