Uh Uh Uh... profanity alternatives, remember?
"You don't have the guts to pull the trigger, lard ass."
One thing a “man” should never read: Esquire.
I put this in the same category as the "20 Things A Man REALLY wants in bed" articles......written by women, for women, to be published in women's magazines.
Gayest.
Article.
Ever.
I’m showing my age, but just when did the mags start referrring to a woman’s breasts as “her rack”?
Next to that, “boobs” sounds pretty, feminine and something worth looking at.
Remember Steve Martin’s “I believe”?
“Golden bozos” and “winnebagos” were forbidden terms.
Can you agree that a man should never say “all wee-wee’ed up?”
That’s funny, most of the list is basically kid words, then they have a list of “profanity alternatives” that are all basically kid words.
Esquire is the new monitor of what is and is not manly?
It’s like having Libya on the UN Human Rights commission.
It’s like letting the Russians tour our ICBM silos.
It’s like letting a Kenya-born, neo-Maoist muslim be President
It’s like letting gay pastors run Lutheran Churches
It’s like the French having a more coherent foreign policy than the US
It’s like the RNC backing an abortion-lover with union ties for US Rep in NY 23
It’s like the Fed Chairman directly brokering deals between failing banks
It’s like John Stewart having more journalistic integrity than CNN
It’s like letting a couple of kids in Halloween costumes with a video camera scoop the entire multi-billion dollar news business in exposing ACORN for supporting under-age prostitution rackets with taxpayer dollars and smuggled illegal aliens.
It’s like building a monument to the patriots that died in United 93 in the shape of a crescent facing mecca.
It’s like having the US military and NATO retreat from a sh!thole country that doesn’t possess a fighter jet or a tank.
It’s like having a gay pedophile sympathiser be in charge of ‘Safe Schools’.
Top of my list is:
“Let me be clear...”
Now I know why I don’t read Esquire.
For the same reason I don’t read Cosmo...
1. “I’ll take a copy of Esquire, please.”
Sometimes C-- just has to be said, as when talking about ex-wives.
It’s an insult to actually useful breasts....:)
Well I Was going to Reach out and tell people not to get their Panties in a bunch over this.. because its Über-silly. Language is a Mixed bag of things, kind of like what is in your Tummy after eating a Veggie burger, so relax and drink some Vino and do what comes Natch.
Most people are just Wingin’ it when they are talking, so no need to get so Nippy about it like you are some kind of Miley or Brittney.
I have seen some people so uncomfortable when talking they jump up and down like they have to Pee and gaze at their Belly button like a silly C-—.. (yeah I had to throw that word in carefully lol)
They lack the Derring-do to speak in public. So Going forward most language is pretty basic, It is what it is Folks, and its not like you have to act like Boobs to get the idea across.
Teens these days have their own set of rules when talking. You can see them in their baggy Slacks, those hip Gen-Y’ers, drinking their espresso and chatting willy nilly about who they can Make love to.
I never understood the fascination they have with cell phones. You see them every day, phones ringing, shouting Yell-o when they pick up. Its probably only Mommy on the other end, but they have to look cool, even in the way they say Bye Bye
(there, I have done it.. I have fully ticked off the word banners lol)
Good one! You’re quick!
Sheesh!
Was that all from the top of your head?
You are my new grievances list hero!
WELL DONE!
Better to vent your spleen than hunt elected officials like its elk season I always say.
What a strange list. What about wee-wee’d up?
