BenJen's Blog

Welcome to my blog. A place where you may not find consistency, but where you will find various rants and irrelevant anecdotes, and 'witty' text on the subject of whatever crops up into a poor student's mind.
Please, do try to enjoy it... Constructive criticism is more than welcomed.

Have a nice day now, chaps and chappettes.

Warning: May contain traces of football, video games, and musical ramblings... It's mostly the latter, in truth.

Swearing

It has to be said, I do love a good fucking swear. Now, I've trained myself to not swear AT ALL in front of my parents, yet curse like Gordon Ramsey in a kitchen filled with thousands upon thousands of hilariously incompetent chefs, after being told he can have a billion quid for every time he lays down a sweet little F-bomb. Swearing, frankly, is fucking brilliant. (Yes, that was deliberate). It allows you to convey an extra level of emotion, that no 'very' or 'really' could ever deal out. Yet, I have a concern. A slight one. I've noticed that recently children aged as young as 3 can be heard cursing their motherfucking shitty little hearts out. Why is this? Blame the 'new improved' modern parent...(but I'll rant about that some other time) So, where am I going with this? Well, with so many people swearing like mad at such regular intervals, the words are starting to lose their meanings. No, that's not right, sorry, the effect that they can convey is being hugely diminished. If I walked up to you (yes, YOU) and told you to piss off because you're a twat, you'd probably laugh, and then swear back. Unless YOU are one of my parents...in that case, you'd probably give me a good hiding. Without these gems of words though, how the fuck will the expressive, forceful and opinionated young generation that we are be able to put our points across? It's a dicking travesty, frankly.
