Paging Mr. Roget . . . [View all]

[madamesilverspurs]

Grandma was quite fond of reminding us, “If you can’t say something nice,
don’t say anything at all.” And Mom was never a cusser, she’d learned well
at Grandma’s knee. These days I’m having a little trouble following that
instruction. There are so many conversations about the president-elect and
I try to participate in the lady-like fashion in which I was raised,
but my thesaurus has yet to cough up an adequate synonym for
‘motherfuckingcocksuckingbuttstupidasshole’. Maybe I’ll get a bigger thesaurus
at the bookstore next week. Or after the holidays. Or July.
