Pushing the line., Year by year. Options

[pandora]

It seems like every couple years, the line between what's acceptable language and what isn't is pushed further and further. I remember when "Bitch" used to be such a forbidden word, in casual conversation as well as in the media.

Now you hear the word all over the tv, and the taboo word of the year is "c**t." When I hear that word, especially from women, I just get so disgusted. But it amazes me that we've even gone that far.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

I get yelled at for saying 'sucks' and 'crap'. So I'm forced to stick with 'Good Gravy Train!'. That's my preffered exclamation. But I don't get why certain words are tabooed. They're just words, and originally meant something completely different than what they mean now.

I had a teacher who would yell at us for saying those things. I don't quite understand what exactly I'm supposed to say if I can't even use euphemisms because "they mean the same thing." Yes. Yes they do. So why euphemise my euphemisms? It doesn't change anything.

Going home is really f**king hard now because I have to censor myself; I love that college does not make me.
