My mother hates certain words (like the word "fart"). So, I make sure to try my hardest to never use that word around her.

Personally, I think it is silly that she hates that word...but becasue I love her and respect her, I do my best to not use it around her.

Still, I do get a little miffed when I am told by the world at large that I have to say something a certain way. Why? Just because the world says so?

I respect individuals, not the world. If an individual were to ask me to refrain from something inparticular, I would. But my issue is when "the world" starts telling what to do. I guess that is just an issue that I have...among MANY other issues!! LOL LOL

Well, TG, apparently it was just an existential free write that my inner universe found hilarious. On second glance, well, okay, the little Johnny Depps who inhabit my universe are still laughing. But I think you've helped me separate reality from Johnny Depp. Can I go back now?

Sorry I made you look.

I have since called them that. She just hit her 34th birthday! She still calls them that too, and so do her four children.

We used to use the terms "northern accent" and "southern accent" depending upon which end they came out of, so we ended up saying, "Pardon my southern accent" a lot. I imagine this custom could be reversed depending upon which side of the Mason-Dixon line you lived on.

So then, Iggy, if that is a butt burp, what is a "fart"?
