Profanities

Ever wondered how these words have become so much a part of our vocabulary that we do not think twice before utering them. Some of us do it as being part of the cool brigade and othere just to express about every other emotion that we know of. A simple word like "FUCK" which does not mean a lot literally more than a rude term for sex, can express joy, hatred, jealousy, hurt, elation, frustration and a whole gamut of emotions, and your listener hardly ever raises an eyebrow. I wonder how many actually know the origin of this "F" word. Well here it is anyway:
In the old english days, the times of the king and knights, every man who was newly married and had to bed his wife had to have the consent of the king. That is how the word came about. It means-Fornication Under Consent of the King
Now I guess some of you might think twice before using this word..In our workplaces,there are a lot of times we use these words unknowingly and try to look innocent, hoping no one else heard it, and if they did, jut grin sheepishly and hope it does not reflect badly on you...but it is exactly the opposite in college..the more often you use profanities, the cooler you are!!! That's fu***ng right, you know!!!
To sum things up this qoute from Calvin is just perfect-->"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words."

And, Do I have the perfect corollary or what??--> "I'm only civil because I do not know any swear words" too fu****g cool !!!!
