>I think that in the context of your expression of feelings, it would generally fit the category of "expletive". Most dictionaries, if not all, will list it as either "obscene" or "vulgar".

The one I'm looking at says explitives are used to fill-up a sentence, or add force. Profane is defined as blasphemous or vulgar or irreverant. I could see how an Explitive could be interpereted as Profane, but blindingly dismissing an explitive as profane is closed minded. Therefore, when used correctly (which I'll admit is rare in today's America) there are fewer naughty words then we'd like to think there is.

>I believe I said "intellectually lazy" for not searching for another way to express the same depth of feeling.

I wasn't talking about you, actually, Doug Dodge actually said those people are "Sub-par thinkers".
