Steff-a-knee will say "I mucked up".

Our language changes so quickly that it's hard to censor.  I remember
reading a story a while back about a "queen on a dyke picking up faggots",
or some such thing.

Umm, all that aside, I'm not a prude, but there's a line between proper
written language rules and the trash talk Jake seems to prefer.  I am
offended by the cuss-detour he has taken, not so much for myself, but for
those parents out there who try to teach their children proper etiquette and
cannot let them read the "family-oriented Vanagon list.

FWIW
