Blast dab fraggin’ pakaloomer

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on July 19, 2002). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

There was an absolutely wonderful article in the Seattle PI yesterday about how at times, letting loose with a good string of profanities can be wonderfully therapeutic — but it’s so much better when you can swear with style!

Be creative with your curse words. Dropping a simple F-bomb is a cliche and, frankly, it is beneath you. If you’re going to swear, do it with style. Try thinking of yourself as a “vulgarity artist” — a poet of the profane, as it were. Cuss in rhyme or, perhaps, haiku. This way, when you unleash a string of ear-searing expletives, the people around you may not like what you had to say but they’ll appreciate the panache with which you said it.

At the end of the article, they request submissions of examples of creative swearing — I’m going to send them one I got from dad: Blast dab fraggin’ pakaloomer!
