I swear upon my life...
How cursing can be good for you: http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2009/07/13/curses-for-medicinal-use-only/

"...The researchers have some ideas about why swearing helps—in the study, curse words increased heart rate relative to the innocuous words, so perhaps swearing activates the fight-or-flight response, which can decrease pain perception. In any case, the next time you pound your thumb while hammering, shouting your curse of choice might be the best medicine."

when you string a bunch of 'em together thusly:

Jesus F***ing Christ Motherf***ing son of a b*tch!

Luckily I don't think the hubster has ever heard this.

You weren't the ONLY bad influence in my life madbloonde. I was probably using that phrase before I ever met you. I just made sure my parents didn't hear me.

Although Dad would have probably laughed if he wasn't shocked out of his shoes. Probably Mom would have too, after blaming my language on Dad.
