I suppose a simple "B*llocks!" or "Jesus wept!" or "ffffffffffffffffffffff*ck!" just wasn't up to the task this time, eh? That last one is my own favorite. You get that great long sussuraton of the "f," like a building wave about to break, and when it does, it's on a hard shoal of sharp consonants like "c" and "k." Plus, it can build in intensity and volume until the volcano finally erupts and spits out the "ck." F*ck. Great curse word. Great activity. It's like the bloody Swiss army knife of the English language. It can express anything. Now aren't you a bit ashamed for treating it so shabbily, Doc? ;) Atticus
