Flip All That!
Allow me to weigh in on this whole swear word discussion. I’ve been known to let loose with a few f-bombs in my life, especially in times of great personal crisis like when the Twins blow a three run lead in the bottom of the ninth or when I run out of gin on a Sunday afternoon and the closest open liquor store is 40 minutes away. Man, I’m fixin’ to fire one off right now just thinking about such things….
In contrast to the Elder and J.B, however, I AM proud of it. I consider it unhealthy to hold in my rage and I get absolutely no satisfaction out of saying “Fudge!”.
There are times, though, when I do have to candy coat my swear words and in these instances, I prefer to use the one from the sanitized TV version of "Repo Man". That is “Flip”, as in “Flip off!” or “Flip you!” or “Why don’t you shut yer’ flippin’ pie hole, you filthy melon farmer!” I'll leave it to your flippin’ imaginations as to what “melon farmer” refers to.
