Niki, that is sublime. I can’t think of another word, so I’ve just looked it up to see if it works. What do you think? “Impressing the mind with a sense of grandeur; inspiring awe; supreme or outstanding” I think it works :0) And just before I got to the last sentence I thought, “she should be dragging along a documentary crew” but a story will do. I really hope all goes well for Sunday - a beautiful day, tasty food, and joyful souls. x

Motherfucken perlers! I too am an afficionado of the curse … and have also contemplated this a little seriously in the past, especially after the radio experience where my esteemed younger female colleagues demonstrated how well-placed use of the C-bomb sits comfortably in Gen Y land. Liberating. And I loved Gina Davis saying, ’suck my dick’ in The Long Kiss Goodnight. And I have Tim Winton to thank for showing me how much better fucken is over fucking most of the time. I’d better stop now. When we get together for that long overdue drink, let’s have a cuss-a-thon!!! Love to youse both.

Thanks, darlin’. Will do my best. No doubt you’ll hear about it all when I get back.

Ah, but the sneaky thing sells stories
Thanks for the good wishes, Charlene … and the comments on Flickr. You are one hell of a photographer, girl.

You did a sneaky thing, leaving that magazine bit to the last.

Have a GREAT time!

Nukki

It is of course possible to be clever with your profanity - as you can see I attach a snippet from Roger’s Profanisaurus.

Bolton dip test n. A quick check of a lady’s undercarriage to make sure that she is well-oiled and ready for sexual intercourse. ‘Heliotrope could smell Fandango’s musty male aroma as he held her in his muscular Crufts judge’s arms. She could feel his hands explore every inch of her lithe pedigree labrador breeder’s body. Then he reached down for a quick Bolton Dip test.’ (from ‘Pedigree’ by Jilly Cooper).

I’m so glad you mentioned cockheads — I LOVE THAT ONE! I was going to use it in my next post.

Finding a profanity “fit” in the workplace is almost as important as teaching your child to curse with skill and gusto. Well done.

The swearing is a kiwi bird thing - I’ve totally had to tone it down for the UK workplace..until I started working at my present office where my boss thinks he is a gangster rapper despite being a tall, skinny, speccy white man. It is now perfectly acceptable for me to describe clients as cockheads and muthafuckas - hooray!
