Yipes they grow mostly cotton and pecans around Tucson. I guess I will be getting plenty of fiber in my diet.

This word is new, but not my favorite.
I keep running into this new word that I detest: "impactful." Arrrgh. It seems like a pretentious way to say "important." But for some reason when I hear it, it seems to have some unpleasant colonic overtones.

That was my first thought upon seeing the word: impacted bowel. While I've never experienced the condition myself, I know people who have. It's not pleasant.

Likewise. George Carlin's 'Seven Words That You Can't Say on Telvision' are mere shadows of what goes on in regular society today. (That's not to imply that he's any less of a comedic genius today than he was then.)

That's the problem. There's really only one "vulger" word I like and it's primarily because it's the only one that holds any power any more. Even that one I have seen on a t-shirt worn by a female. I have enough sense to use it only rarely so that it keeps it's kick.
