Word up (SOC)
Linda’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “least-favorite word.” Use your least-favorite word in your post. If you can’t decide on one, use a word that just really bugs you. Enjoy!
+^+^+^+^+^+^+^+^
First words that come to mind are “should” and “must”, but those have some genuine use so I don’t know if either are my least favorite word or not but they certainly bug me. And can make me feel bad. Bad? Maybe make me feel poorly is better?
Fuck. That’s my word. The activity is fun, although when labeled as such it becomes somewhat vulgar and cheap, so it’s even still not that great in that use. Do you really want to ‘fuck’ someone you love? And as a noun or an adjective, verb or adverb, I don’t really care for it. Bottom line, I think it’s classless and unoriginal. Hackneyed. I know someone who has bad knees. Back to fuck… a friend sent me a video link to some doctor sitting in his car and ranting into his phone at the end of his day and his experience that day with a patient who didn’t believe in COVID vaccinations and every fourth word from this guy was fuck or fucking. I’m glad he’s not my doctor. There are a lot of good movies that I enjoy like Big Lebowski, Reservoir Dogs, Good Will Hunting, that use fuck a lot and while I’ll still watch them, they’re a little less enjoyable than something like Casablanca, For Me & My Gal or Harvey. Actually, I find most movies less enjoyable than those last three. And others. That’s it for my stream of consciousness for this Saturday. Usually I go on for longer but I guess I don’t have any consciousness today. Or any conscience. I hope your consciousness is good consciousness. And no self-consciousness.
I like it as an exclamation because of the punch factor, but it loses impact when used constantly. Good explanation!

Thanks Paula! I agree with it as an exclamation, but too many and I start to lose focus on the dialogue.
