WORDS ARE NOT BOMBS


- not bombs and yet we prefer to use them instead of another invasion

you can fight a war of words - and nobody gets killed

remember stick and stones...

but one word in the king's english - one used way too often by comics...

has morphed into a real killer

it's always there

just waiting to explode and it's so powerful...

yet so easy to come out - just rolls off your tongue

but recently it has gained new status

the threat level has been raised

- the f-word has turned into the f-bomb

and for good reason too, it's just so vulgar and dirty...

the n-word is still - just a word

and the c-word - well, i won't go there now (not while i'm typing)

- but no other word gets this explosive attention

and has turned into such a public no-no

in the clubs i came up in, the f-bomb was banned

yet

now you hear it rattling around in your brain from almost everybody

...so often that it doesn't even register anymore

it's used most often by low-class ignorant morons

- it's their every other word

but not on tv, somehow we've kept it off the tv

no wait - cable gets away with it (basic cable anyway)

fa(bleep)k

who's that suppose to trick - besides the bleep kinda highlights it anyway

kids know what's been said, i know what's been said

- usually by an ignorant moron

it's said and heard again and again

-even through the bleep - it's understood

it's on tv all the time, like 10 or 11 times on lopez the other night

and another 6 times on the supreme court of comedy
(great show - filmed at the world famous laugh factory in long beach by the way)

dennis miller used it a lot - but then again, it's hbo...

we've tried euphemisms like flippin’-farkin’- friggin’- frickin’- frackin and so forth

these substitutes have had their moments but freakin'

and sometimes, the more accurate freaking has broken through

as a public favorite that's become almost acceptable anywhere

but i digress, let me tell you want i think

i just think we should use the word effing

i love the word effing

and if you don't like it - you can go eff yourself



WTF?
