Here’s a context where I was glad to hear someone say “what the f-—.” I was trying to get a job at a company where I had done well in the past with a colleague who wanted to get me hired back to help with his projects. We ran into a lot of red tape, ultimately with the requisition expiring on us without our knowledge. When I told him, he said “what the f-—.” Believe me, I understood. Something had just gotten f-—’ed up. In a satanic way. But it lit a fire under them, and now they are trying to get me in with a contract to hire. If I may make a selfish aside, it would be to ask to pray for the situation. No the guy wasn’t all cussing when I worked with him before. But he’s not a believer either and I have to respect that and be ready for a bit of dirt every now and then without either internalizing it or getting all offended.
How in the world did we live without that word in our vocabulary?
I recall in English class, the teacher said there was always a better word than “got”. So we spent days trying to prove her wrong... she was right.
There is a better word than the F word to express one’s self. Come on.. to think that word has to be used in any situation... give me a break.. please..
That word is considered okay by you folks who use it. So, you have standards that have been lowered by society... that much I know... and it does not make for a better world for kids to grow up in.. that word being only one item that could be disected and included in all this.
