QUE? Seriously?

Well, well. Next thing you know, they'll have a mini camp X-Ray aboard ship. Of course, they'll probably call it camp Z-Ray or something. (Totally different).

Frelling thread. You see, I comically used a fake swear word there, after people expressed their disdane for them. It is exactly the same sort of comedic genius that compelles people to post [Smile] [Frown] [Embarrassed] [Big Grin] [Wink] [Confused] after someone complains that only idiots use emoticons. Wit!

I remember reading somewhere that "cunt" is actually a replacement for an even stronger swear word that used to exist. Some sort of super-cunt. Imagine that. If you dare.

(As to why it's the strongest...swear words can roughly be grouped into four catagroes. Insults about family upbringing (son of a bitch, bastard), bodily waste (piss off, shit), body parts (arsehole, bollocks), and then sexual terms at the top (fuck), with sexual body parts being a merger of the previous two catagories (cunt, dick). As to why the most offensive term is another word for the female vagina, I'd venture that it's to do with olde-age-repression, or something. "Twat" doesn't have the same stigma, but I'd wager that that's because a large number of people don't realise what it actually means.)

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Dare? I've dated one.
