I think the analysis needs to go deeper.
For instance, I know someone who drops the f-bomb several times a day. But I wouldn't consider the person to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
On the other hand, JB and I could teach a class on creative ways to use the word.
And on that note, I'm going to watch a Christmas movie before going to bed. I think I'll watch the one where a 9 year old boy uses the ultimate word...the "F-dash-dash-dash" word. Can you guess the title? :)
