When did fricken become a swear word? My dad’s verdict on the matter, “It sounds like one so it is”. The genius behind those words... Does this mean ship and duck are now swear words?  When asked what’s that upon the horizon (which happens so often in my life) am I meant to answer “A buoyant device of some kind”, rather than saying ship because it may sound like a swear word.

My Mum’s commentating Dad’s phone conversation... though only the parts which are obvious and which no one really needs to hear but she thinks is amusing such as she guess who it was *unenthusiastic clapping*. And now she’s swearing every second word which is something I am so frequently told not to do... *Bitter Glaring* I’m now tempted to do the shouting of unfair while rolling on the floor. But that’s what THEY want don’t THEY. Well THEY won’t get the satisfaction!!
