Have you ever noticed that here in Utah, people speak a completely different language when it comes to cursing. This can only be shown by example, so I'll give you one. I'll create a conversation between boy 1, we'll call him Joe, and boy 2, he will be Jack. The following slang will be italicized. "Hey Jack, how's it going?" said Joe. "Not bad, but my math teacher gave me a frikin' (it is pronounced as it is spelled) lot of homework," said Jack. "Not mine," said Joe, "But I can't stand the flippin' huge term project in science." "What the heck does flippin' mean?" askes Jack. "I dunno, but it sound pretty dang cool." says Joe.
In my opinion, this new way of speaking your opinion is pretty funny to hear and doesn't offend you. I use a lot of them myself, come to think of it. All I can say is that our community has entered a state of censorship that leaves no one offended and everyone still light hearted. Of course, on occasion a certain person may look on it and critisize and mock, but who cares? Oh yes, the funniest one I have heard this week was spoken by an older person; Mother Fletcher!!! I guess old habits die hard.
