Examining the profanity.

I get quite a few comments about my creative use of profanity.

There was an episode of Spongebob on recently that called them "sentence enhancers" I kind of agree. Sprinkling these enhancers in the right places usually helps the reader know exactly how much disdain or emphasis you wish to communicate regarding a subject.

Example: The cashier at the store gave me incorrect change for my 20 dollar bill and refused to admit his error.

Enhanced: The syphilitic cunt face at the fucking store ripped me off for ten bucks and then that pole smoking cum gurgler had the audacity to deny it.

Example: Honey, do we have any of that personal ointment..my hemorrhoids are acting up again.

Enhanced: Gotdamnit! My corn hole feels like it's been sodomized with a barbed wire dildo..gimme that ass cream and a tampon before I fucking bleed to death!

The enhanced sentence seems to reveal more emotional details and gives the reader a more honest perspective on the situation.

My youth was spent less fist fighting with bullies and more trying to out insult them.
I started out innocent and pure and due to necessity I became a seasoned spewer of vile verbal filth.

It would go something like this...Setting 3rd grade playground

"Hey hammer your dad gives great blowjobs and he only charges a quarter a blow"

Me " At least I have a dad, your mom got pregnant during the third act at the donkey show"

Sometimes my insults would go too far and I would be sent to the school counselor and given a psychiatric evaluation. I either passed or was so screwed up they didn't know what to do with me.

Sometimes the 8 year old Hammer likes to take over during a blog post and sprinkle some sentence enhancers around.... and no I don't want to talk to any more fucking shrinks.

No fuckin shit! First to post! Well, I am honored here Hammer. I used to spew my own dish of colorful Metaphores as well. But I would just get tired after a while and the fists would start flyin. I lived in a rough neighborhood.

You have a wonderful selection of well adapted and perfectly formed sentence enhancers!! To stop using them now would be a crime! ;)

Personally, I think it takes a high level of intelligence to craft the verbal insults that you do.

I have known senior Marine NCO's with less command of the (vulgar) language than you.
And that's saying something.
Well done, very well done indeed.

Someone's gotta do it....
Being a third grade teacher myself, I had a student tell another student ) male to female, "I know you wanna fuck my brains out to high heavens" and the girl wanted to know where high heaven was.... go figure

You do have quite the command of sentence enhancement.
Don't worry--I don't think that young Hammer will cause you to see any more shrinks. The sentence enhancement works for you.

A shrink would take the fun right out of you.

If you haven't thought of writing a book, you should seriously consider it. Something like what you've written here would make the best seller list. I kid you not!

Loved the enhancements! :)

I find your use of colorful sentence enhancers unique and one of the many reasons I enjoy reading your blog. Mine are more involuntary or habit, and not nearly as funny.

Sometimes my sentences are more enhancer than sentence.

You are so right about how sometimes, a sentence absolutely cries out -begs -for sentence enhancers! And the release of tension in one gets after using the enhancers is absolutely priceless! I am very much a firm believer in sentence enhancers from way back and have a pretty good command of them -although you definitely have me beat, no contest to my paltry sailor's vocabulary!
