A week without cussing? FUDGE YEAH!
One 15-year-old Californian has decided to politely fight back against potty-mouths by forming the No Cussing Club at South Pasadena High School. And today, the Los Angeles County Supervisors have agreed to make the first week of March “No Cussing Week.”
The student said he first came up with the idea to form the club, which meets weekly, when he heard 7th-grade friends cussing. We had a swear jar at home, but it stayed fairly empty until I started middle school. On the first day of sixth grade, I heard expletives being volleyed back and forth like it was nothing.
I remember coming home in tears that day. Now, though, I am guilty of it myself, as are most of the people I know. I always hold back when there are children nearby, but if I’m just having a conversation with peers, sometimes I slip one in. I could probably go a whole week without cussing since I do it so seldomly. What would I say instead? Holy shizz! Son of a biscuit! Mothertrucker! Oh, fudge.
Well, can you do it? What will you say instead?
