Comic Break
From the portfolio of Cox and Forkum:
Some years back, I recall an East Coast politician getting in trouble for using the word "niggardly," but I can't place the specifics. Having had a similar personal experience, I love this sort of thing.
Plus, I think the idea of GROWN-UPS using phrases like the "f-word" and "n-word" in adult discussions is laughably absurd.
Here's a list of words I would like Wrymouth readers to agree to be unafraid of.
It's probably akin to "the hair of the dog that bit me" thinking.

Your list:
Good luck with THAT.

Thanks, bro'. I know Wiki-world has a similar list of popular obscene words as well. I will link as soon as I get time.
You'll notice that I don't counsel wholesale USE of any of these terms, nor adoption of the thought processes that produce such terms.
(Over at the Daily Kos, I am bemused to notice often that people who embrace and love using all sorts of obscene words will still fall back on "n-word" and other kiddie-talk when discussing racism(s). I say, if you're going to go, go all the way.)
I don't think the adults on the planet should be skeered of words, is all. We should either annihilate said words (good luck), or face up to them. People who don't come to grips with reality are not going to be able to watch Monty Python, or films like The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Silver Streak or even Duck Soup.

Well -- I know I can count on Mel Brooks. And some Canadians.
