The difference is under what circumstance they release it.
A good ninety eight percent of people I interact with would swear I do not even have a temper. I can wax sarcastic and even sardonic but temper? No, of course not.
The other two percent were around when someone decided to go after someone who I consider mine to protect.
“inside every man is a real SOB. Just as inside of every women is a royal b!tch.”
I believe that is true. Nothing wrong with that, depending on the circumstances, as you pointed out (protecting you and yours.). I always liked the bumper sticker, “You call me ‘Bitch’ like that’s a bad thing”
Very, very true.
