After the stress-filled weekend I just had, and an absolutely frustrating week at work thus far, I’m in the mood to go on a mental tangent. This is as good a tangent as any.
Think about it for a second. In the grand spectrum of swear words, “shit” is probably the most innocuous and least offensive. A popular euphemism for just about anything considered undesirable in the context of conversation, its overuse has stripped the word of any significant impact. As a result, you have a mildly offensive, crude word without any real shape, consistency, or flavor.
Tofu, indeed!

hahaha :) well i hope your week gets better and is tofu free.
I love the word shit. It is SO, how do I say it? All-encompassing. It is a noun and a verb and it absolutely the best fill in the blank word!
