I don't so much mind PDI as long as it's creative. The above line is not creative. If you're gonna show out in public, at least be innovative.

Lets just say, I still remember the taste of the ivory soap. I've never been a person to curse or even use slang, when I do have a slip of the tongue, it's like the record scratches and my friends look at me like I'm crazy.<BR/><BR/>I've heard so many kids curse recently while dealing with my younger cousins that it repulsives me. I actually blame their parents b/c they use the same language so of course they'd think it was acceptable.<BR/><BR/>PDI (Public Displays of Ignorance) is always an embarrassment especially when it's from your own people.[flahy] [blak] [chik]https://www.blogger.com/profile/07915740493798041091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-43570121154762576322008-02-26T18:33:00.000-05:002008-02-26T18:33:00.000-05:00@Danielle: Life teaches us all them words! *wink* ...@Danielle: Life teaches us all them words! *wink* But I agree that it's something that can be controlled. What's up with these youngin's? Cussing in front of children and the aged on a Tuesday morning! I just wonder where respect went.<BR/><BR/>@Inkognegro: Thanks for the love-the 5 appreciates it greatly! I agree curse words are like fine china, you only pull it out for the most deserving-use it everyday and it ain't that special.<BR/><BR/>@Fresh: LOL! Maybe they were northern transplants or visiting a cousin...not quite from your neck but maybe Philly. But you know when and where to curse, you's a grown ass man. But the babies? Lawd, please save the babies!<BR/><BR/>@Rum Punch: LOL! Girl you pepper a lot of things! Sometimes I have to get a glass of holy water just to talk to you... But pepper is what gives you and your stories that kick!

Although apparently she used to cuss people out with a quickness back in the day. Oh how I would have loved to see that...which leads me to my next point that you all know I love to pepper my stories with cuss words or use them for emphasis a la Clay Davis, but I do have "standards". There are certain people I just can't/won't cuss around, well maybe a few times but not every other word, sentence or thought. It shocks men when they hear me utter a curse word. And that's the way I like it. No need to know that I moonlight as a sailor. :-)Rum Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675412616844332162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-17009489548255227302008-02-26T14:30:00.000-05:002008-02-26T14:30:00.000-05:00Forget the cursing.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit but I got this valve that shuts all profanity off when I'm around them because I'm not adding to any preconceived notions they have about me.

The reality is, Profanity has a place in adult discourse. <BR/><BR/><BR/>BUT<BR/><BR/>the more you use it, the more power it loses.<BR/><BR/><BR/>When gramma cusses, which averages about once a decade, her point is immediately made.<BR/><BR/>If you cuss every four or five minutes...*shrug*<BR/><BR/>The coarsening of our general discourse has led to the diminished effect of well placed profanity.<BR/><BR/>And it is unfortunate, cause some folk need a good cussin.<BR/><BR/>But if all you hear is cussin, it just aint the same.<BR/><BR/>See ya tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-9618622575185084892008-02-26T12:01:00.000-05:002008-02-26T12:01:00.000-05:00I hear you.

It just reeks of "stereotypical" behavior to some whitefolks I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>I can certainly cuss up a storm, but when I'm in public, I keep it to damn or dammit. Dropping the f- bomb time after time is not the business.<BR/><BR/>I never cuss around my family and just developed my vocabulary of cuss words over the course of a decade. ::Wink:: <BR/><BR/>Stevie needs to cut the crap. he's too eloquent and too great a talent to resort to the f-bomb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
