Verbal
Assault
How
many
times
can
you
say
fuck
before
it
loses
societal
shock
value?
I
enjoy
a
carefully
placed
expletive
every
now
and
then,
especially
when
the
befuddled
search
their
minds
so
extensively
for
a
quaint
adjective/verb/interjection
to
no
avail.
Presently,
it
seems
that
folks
can’t
speak
two
words
without
shit
being
replaced
as
an
acceptable
phrase
to
describe
their
current
situation.
I
blame
the
parents.
Dad
never
took
the
time
to
equip
them
with
a
stocked
verbal
bank
since
he
had
to
work
nights
and
didn’t
read
bedtime
stories.
Mom
wasn’t
well
read
either,
but
she
explained
the
insights
of
BET,
MTV,
True
TV
and
TLC
beautifully.
I
wonder
how
many
older
people
are
feeling
nostalgic
about
those
days
when
writers
made
you
look
up
words
and
open
new
worlds
from
the
adventure
of
inquisitive
research.
Alas,
while
it
may
seem
I’m
a
condescending
nerd
that
needs
to
get
with
the
times
and
chill,
