The photo accompanying this article suggests she has a fucking thick neck.
Whereas most of her Tory colleagues have a fucking brass neck, sitting on their arses, doing nothing all day…

I'm an intelligent person with a large vocabulary; there are plenty of words to use to communicate an idea or feeling. But irl, I swear a lot, because I don't think "bad" words aren't bad. There's perhaps a time and a place for them, but they're just words.
So much of the discourse on here is more "polite", than on other platforms, so I'm unsure what the general feeling is. Is this the time/place?
Dammit.

Bill Watterson was right about this, too. Swearing does not indicate impoverished vocabulary

I raised an eyebrow and she clarified that it was the swearing. She didn’t think I was likely to dress up and start singing, but she did think I’d struggle not to swear. I’ll be honest, I’m a little bit proud about that.
