IF I STUBB MY TOE AND SAY "SHOOT"... It doesn't mean fire your weapon!! It is a figure of speech. One we used to use YEARS ago. It meant nothing then, it means nothing now.

LOL. Would you please stop yelling at us.

2 points.

(1) too bad Kendell Ehrlich didn't read your post about the passing of common sense prior to her making the comments. Using that expression in a domestic violence speech is pretty stupid under any circumstances; that is, it exhibits a lack of common sense.

(2) You are being politically correct by saying "Shoot" because you really mean "Sh!t". You don't seem to have a problem saying what you mean the rest of the time, why then when you stub your toe?

I've ALWAYS hated the analogy that you can HEAR printed words.

I type in CAPS for emphasis.

BTW, I don't use cuss words in this house. I raised little kids, and have grandkids. Big difference regarding PC words, and FILTHY cuss words, like the "F" word, IMHO.
