68. (Ooops, acgidently posted above before done) Well, I do use the "F" word here, but....

Never at a DU'r. At least, not yet - but highly unlikely bc of 1) our rules, 2) I'd have be really aggravated, and that's never happened here, 3) typing vs talking gives me time to pause, etc. I just got mildly snippy at some one here recently. Hadn't happened before.

My "F words" go towards very nasty, terribe, despicable, hideous actions certain people are doing in our country, or around the world!

Sometimes, I use "effing", "effin' " instead - to reduce it, or in the sense of a holding back manner.

If you're offended for any use of it, what can I say. Well, we're adults here, many/most adults curse at times. Read it's even psychologically useful at times.
