Pure as driven snow

I have decided to stop swearing.

Besides, I'm not really very good at it. I grew up in a house where damn, hell and shit (and the occasional shit-ass) were as bad as it got. I don't know whether to classify piss-ant as swearing or not. I have never been sure what it really means, except that Mom is mad and to stay out of the kitchen.

From now on, every fucking thing I say will be expletive-free. I am not shitting you. This goddamn habit has gotten out of hand. For example, my son-of-a-bitching DREAMS are riddled with words that could scorch my down-filled pillows.

Jesus H. Christ. I am, after all, a Ph.D. program dropout so shouldn't I have a adequate and appropriate vocabulary ready at the drop of my tongue? Hell yes! Yet somehow this dumbass, distasteful behavior has become part of my repertoire.

I've quit. Really.

WTF? Then what adjectives and nouns are available to describe SUV-driving, throwing-McDonald's-litter-out-their-car-window, child-neglecting, parking-in-two-spaces-including-a-handicapped-one creeps?

MsHellion: Not fair. You're a trained professional.

Eek: I think I need to have my brain washed out with soap. This is harder than I thought.

MsA: Wow. Teach me your way, Obiwan.
