Friday Worst Word Ever Open Comments

What is your least favorite word? Let’s narrow it down a bit. It must be:
In English
Common
Well-understood (i.e. everyone knows what it means)
Clean (i.e. won’t offend Granny Hamous, though it might make her uncomfortable)
A single word (phrases are in a different category)
In general, it just sounds icky.
For Zoë Triska, it just happens to be the word panties. I agree with her that it is a “bad” word, maybe even top (bottom?) five, but it is certainly not the worst.

You know what word I can’t stand hearing? “Panties.”
The word “panties” earns my vote for “worst word of all time.” But there are plenty of people who find it perfectly acceptable.


That’s the way of the worst word. It’s different for different people. These words do tend to congregate on the worst word lists of many people.

And, it turns out, many of us are bothered by seemingly random words. Last year, we asked our readers to contribute the words they shuddered upon hearing, and they assailed “moist,” “viscous,” and “maggots,” among others.

Some words on my own list – in no particular order (also assisted by the comments in the link):
Panties (is there a singular form? pantie? panty?)
Bra
Moist
Fecund
Suckle
Nipple (not really on mine, but Yellow Hair can hardly say it unless it refers to a baby bottle)
Penis (close to the edge of Granny’s tolerance…)
Peeve (actually a split decision – noun is ok, verb – not)
Briefs (clothing, not legal)
What are yours?

    Actually I can’t think of any “bad” words. They are all there for a reason and are used to describe something that no other word can, or at lease describe it in a way that no other word can. Some medical terms particularly come to mind. I’m worried that this is starting to sound more and more like Obamaville where maybe we just prohibit the use of words we find offensive or don’t like. I’m guessing they’ll be here sooner than I thought to haul me off to reeducation camp.

Later in the day someone sent me a photo that caught the shuttle flying over one of our satellite offices in Clear Lake. It is a really cool photo with the company name in the foreground with the shuttle flying overhead.

    Score one for freedom and the rule of US law and a big kick in the scrotum of sharia.

    HEADLINE: Kansas District Court First to Apply “American Laws for American Courts”
    A Kansas district court is the first to recognize the possible application of the American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) law in a case where a party sought to enforce a sharia-law based contract. ALAC was adopted in Kansas earlier this year and it is based upon the model legislation drafted by AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi. The case at hand, Soleimani v. Soleimani, involves an Iranian-American couple who had been married according to both sharia and later by state law. At some point the woman divorced her husband (for cruelty and abuse) and sought to enforce a sharia-based prenuptial agreement called a mahr. The mahr required the man upon a divorce that was no fault of the woman’s to pay 1,354 gold quare, which are coins valued at $500 apiece or the equivalent of $677,000.

    Read the whole article, and pray that similar precedents be followed by all 50 states individually and the federal court system.

    This is a fascinating book review about Thomas Jefferson’s lifelong love of food and wine.

    Jefferson brought James Hemings, then about 19, with him to France, having arranged for him to apprentice with a French restaurateur in the preparation of French cuisine. Bringing Hemings, though, left Jefferson with a dilemma. Slavery was illegal in France, and a law known as the Freedom Principle declared that “an enslaved person became free” as soon as they arrived in the country. So Jefferson made a deal with Hemings that “if he mastered the art of French cuisine and returned home to Monticello to teach his craft to another slave, then Jefferson would grant his freedom.”
    He even paid Hemings, who was able to roam Paris as a free man, a monthly salary around double that of the average French servant.

    Craughwell estimates that around 150 of the recipes Hemings mastered survived and were eventually passed down through Jefferson’s family, including such current American staples as “fried potatoes, better known as french fries; burnt cream, or crème brulée; and macaroni with cheese.” (Craughwell notes that mac and cheese may have previously been introduced to the states by other means, but either way credits Jefferson with popularizing the dish. Jefferson’s macaroni recipe, cited here, was preserved by the Library of Congress.)
    When Jefferson returned to America about five years after he had left, he brought back “eighty-six crates with kitchen utensils and equipment, including a pasta-making machine from Italy.” He also brought various wines and cheeses, olive oil and mustard, “seedlings of fruit trees” including apricots, pears and figs, and 680 bottles of wine.

    Tony Ryan, who spent 36 years on Denver’s police force and now serves on LEAP’s board, is pushing for Amendment 64. “I’d been thinking about this much of my career,” Ryan tells Whispers. “I saw that marijuana wasn’t the cause of disturbances, crimes, or homicides—something like alcohol was.”

    Though LEAP is a 501(c)(3) group and therefore unable to legally oppose or endorse candidates, it has been outspoken about its frustration with President Obama’s drug policies.

    #53 TT: I followed this link buried in your link:

    Let me be clear. Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable. The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them to prosper — but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.

    This is an excerpt from JugEars string of lies speech to AIPAC just after he secured the nomination on the D ticket. There are way too many lies to list, but this one kind of stuck out because his own spokes-hole still can’t call Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

    #49 Bonecrusher that is a great article. It really sounds like the Kansas court made a great decision. What really intrigue me is that it sounds like we do not even need a law like ALAC when it pertains to folks trying to have a sharia contract enforced in a U.S. court. In a nutshell the American courts are utterly unqualified to make any decision based on sharia law due to the theological nature of the dispute. I think where we really need ALAC is when two consenting parties agree to a contract based on sharia and then try to circumvent our U.S. court systems.

    I first saw it on FB, posted by For America with the following text:

    Obama met with a “pirate” today for International Talk Like a Pirate Day but still doesn’t have time to meet with his Jobs Council. LIKE if you think Obama should get the hook.

    Re: Lewinski….

    The nation seems not only to have forgiven but even forgotten—or tacitly agreed to pretend to have forgotten—that Bill Clinton disgraced himself and the office of the presidency by his personal misconduct on the job. As a fifty-year-old man, in a position of the highest responsibility, he had an affair with a White House intern who was in her early twenties. This was an act not only of self-indulgence but even of exploitation, or at the very least culpable thoughtlessness.
    A young woman immature and reckless enough to seek a sexual affair with an older married man—an affair that might ruin his marriage and his career—is clearly not thinking soberly about what she is doing. A man of excellent character would have regarded such a young woman with sadness and fatherly concern. A man of ordinary decency would have stayed far away from her. A man of base character would seize the opportunity to use her as a sexual plaything. By his actions Clinton placed himself in the third category. He then lied under oath about the sordid affair in a civil case arising from his earlier alleged misbehavior. He finally admitted his wrongdoing and apologized—after every dishonest expedient had proven useless.
    There was a time in America, not too long ago, when someone exposed as such a man would not have been welcome at the national convention of either political party. His misdeeds would have gone unmentioned in our public discourse not because they were regarded as irrelevant, but because everyone on all sides would want to forget that such a character could have attained and then tainted the presidency.

    “The doctor shook the baby’s hand.”
    Lovely Daughter was a slow labor. My doctor was offshore, fishing, because he had planned his vacation around his expectant mothers, and Lovely was holding out as long as she could, and was two weeks late (I was due for an induction the next day). I was in the hospital around 6:30 am, and by 5:00, Caesarean had already been brought up twice. She was in place, just not wanting to leave Mommy.
    My OB arrived around 5:30, having been plucked from the boat as soon as he got back on shore and rushed to the hospital. He looked at the test results and consulted with his backup. It seems that Lovely was in place, but was looking over her shoulder. I couldn’t dilate past 5 cm because of this. My doctor thought I could still have a regular delivery, and didn’t want to go with the C-section. He told me what he was going to do next, but I don’t think anything can prepare you for a forearm up the hoo-ha. He grabbed her head and turned it into position. I went from 5 to 8 cm instantly. After the shock wore off and he talked to me, he left for his office down the street, thinking that after being in labor for so long I’d be tired and it would take hours of pushing to complete the process.
    I’ll shorten the story, but let’s just say they had to ask him to rush back and deliver my baby. She was crowning just after 8:00 pm that night, delivered at 8:10.
    Be glad it was just a hand shake.

When is the R leadership gonna get it through their thick skulls that the LSM is never gonna be favorable to them for doing the right thing? The only time they will get good press is when they act like D’s and that will get them fired by their constituents. Knowing this, you would think they would put on their “big boy” pants and just do the right thing and treat the Ds as the scum-sucking bottom dwellers they are.

    “It is critical that we honor their efforts to strengthen our infrastructure and build our organization by partnering with an institution that shares our commitment to standing with America’s working families and small businesses,” she said in a press release.

    #85 – ROFL (I gotta charge you something for such an easy straight line Brother!)

    Instead, here’s one that my daughter learned to play a couple of years ago, by ear, at the request of one of her best buds. She was nervous, but pulled off the performance without a hitch (that’s my girl!) I’m having dinner with both offspring tonight. I think I’ll see if she still remembers how to play it.

    Some Most politicians are best described as hoo-ha cleaners. Does that count?

    I would describe most politicians by the facilities located adjacent to said hoo-has. Namely the … never mind… hammy’s grannie was starting to stare over her glasses.

    Bone & Hamous – Too funny regarding the dog food / wild rats. I knew the double meaning when I thought of calling them “girls” but since it’s so common for us to call the dogs “girls” I decided to let it the phrase and give everyone a taste of Darren’s home.

    Niki’s been dilating around .5 cm per three hours or so. But the doctor just came in, did a check and said she’s now between 8-9 cm. That’s exciting.

    Sanity and liberty survive to fight again another day…..

    Hundreds of Libyan protesters have stormed the Benghazi headquarters of Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia in a backlash against last week’s attack on the US consulate.
    Witnesses say militiamen opened fire as the crowd overran the base, but it is not clear if there are casualties.
    Buildings and a car were set alight and fighters evicted following a day of anti-militia protests in the city.
    US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others died in the 11 September attack.
    Earlier, some 30,000 protesters had marched through the eastern Libyan city calling for an end to the armed groups that have sprung up in the country since last year’s ousting of Col Gaddafi.
    Several thousand supporters of Ansar al-Sharia lined up outside its headquarters, in front of the crowd, waving black and white banners, AP news agency reported.
    They fired into the air to try to disperse the protesters, but fled with their weapons after the base was surrounded by waves of people shouting “no to militias”, the report added.

    I’m with Tedtam on the slang words for lady parts, or men’s parts for that matter. They just didn’t come up in the conversations I participated in. There are folks with dirty talk fetishes or maybe they were just brought up that way.
    My worst words fall into the over exposed category, remember gravitas? Hope and Change are worn out although Hope and Crosby will always be my favorites. IMHO. other words that have worn out their welcome.

    My favorite HooHa story, I was going to C&P the whole thing in, but it may be a tad too long.

    It was one of those ‘cold wax’ kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and
    you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.
    No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be?
    I mean, I’m not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!) So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together.
    Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. (‘Cold wax,’ yeah…right!)
    I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!
    OK, so it wasn’t the best feeling, but it wasn’t too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me!
    I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire ………………

    Well this week has had its ups and downs, but late today I finally repaired the big 300 KW audio amplifier, it’s a loong story, so don’t ask. I was going to get off at 2:00 but wound up leaving at 3:00. I got home and loaded up the 4-wheeler on the trailer and rounded up the rest of my gear, so we could go up to the deer lease tomorrow. Sometime around 7:00 I thought that I’d go get me a Whatta’ Burger and the cell phone rings, it’s the Boy telling me about his Crappy day, we talk for 20 minutes, (a long time for him) and as soon as I hang up Daughter calls and we talk for an hour and 33 minutes!! Dang Dammit, but that ‘s not our record, the record is 2 hours and 13 minutes! Anywho, I went to Jack-In-The-Crack and got some stuffed Jalapeños. Did I ever tell Ya’, Life is Good! 😀

    In case you haven’t heard, there’s now a flap over the posting this week of the pic of Obammy and the pirate. That photo was taken in 2009 and it is available on the WH Flickr.

    Well, it is Drudge and Fox News, consider the source. They’ve been known in the past to poke a little fun at their viewer’s gullibility. IIRC there was also something about not meeting with Netyanhu. Netanyahu prolly believes the President has met him more than any other world leader.
