When I was young I thought there was no such thing as fighting words.
Now I realize there are.
“My patience is getting thin” is one of them....
All cuss words are fightin’ words.
I realized that’s the true reason they are supposed to be verboten. Working at college and trying to sit in the cafeteria surrounded by these cussing “collegiates” gave time that revelation. Hearing all that cussing makes me angry for a reason.
“My patience is getting thin” is one of them....
……”Let me educate you…..” is another phrase.
