    I don’t curse because I don’t like to. But when I do people know something is up and change behavior quick. I like to think my lack of cursing gives undue weight to my cursing.

    Think Ned Flanders cursing, you just know something is wrong.

      It’s kind of the other way around for me. If I get all formal about explaining a situation to someone they know they fucked up big time. If I just say “hey fix this shit” they know that A: it’s not that big of a deal and B: I think they’re intelligent enough to know what “this shit” is on their own.
