the cat in the dollhouse

Something for the juvenile at heart

Well, I think this blog has suffered of late. I was going to try and make something up that was controversial about the house, then I remembered I _do_ have something to impart to the world, or at least to people who aren't offended by rabid swearing...

At work a couple of weeks ago someone bought a huge new dictionary for the office. It's the size of about 10 phone books sewn together and has chic graphics on the cover. Aside from containing the meaning of everyday words, it also has definitions of things like 'cyberbludging' and 'Lisa Curry-Kenny'. It drew the immediate attention of anyone who entered our office, but the most startling thing about the new dictionary was the fact that 3 people within 2 days of seeing it asked straight away, 'Have you looked up the word fuck yet?'

I thought to myself, this is a thing people do?? Even when they're no longer in high school? Well, apparently so, because after the 3rd person asked the question, we decided, why the hell not look up the word fuck? So extraordinarily comprehensive was this dictionary that it not only didn't disappoint, it provided what seemed like pages upon pages of variations on the theme of fuck...

Fuck it
Fuck around
Fuck me dead
Fuck a duck
Fuck someone over/up
not give a (flying) fuck
Fuckable
Fuck-all
Fuckface
Fuck-knuckle
Fuckwit
Fuck truck - actually defined as "shaggin' wagon"

and finally my personal favourite (and a special one for AnnaMartine):

Fucken

It actually said Fucken. I'm still giggling even now.
