it's the willful, casual and unthinking usage of the language. It's crept into
normal usage without anyone thinking of what it means and how/when to use it. If
someone says Fuck because something they're working on is not going right,
because they're frustrated or something has gone very wrong, then it's called
for (or worse language). Just using it as a normal part of language without
thought is what upsets me.
"how are you doing?" "fuckin A"
No thought, just thrown out there. But that's the point of all this and a lot of
my gripes. People don't think. Not about what they say. Not about the meaning of
their words. Not about their world. Not about anything past
food/money/sex/sleep/doom 3. Language is just a symptom.
