As my grandmother used to say: "Profanity is a crutch, used by inarticulate motherfuckers."
I hate people that are like "oh you shouldn't curse. Use proper words. Only people with a small vocabulary uses curse words" like no Karen fuck is exactly the word I'm looking for.
Because saying you are and idiot is one thing
Saying you are a fucking idiot is another
"Waiting behind some kid with the croup to get their antibiotics..."
when I'm teaching the periodic table and the structure of the atom to my students, I show them this picture. I say it's the "smartest picture on Earth".
Not only was Marie Curie the only person in that picture with two Nobels, she was the first person to win two, and the ONLY person ever to win in two different categories.
Marie curie being the only one there with two Nobel prizes like an absolute icon
They are all amazing though
I was discussing high school proms with a friend, and he said guys wants one of two things in a prom date:
1. A slut who will blow you both going to the prom and coming back.
Or
2. Jennifer Connely in the dance scene from "Labyrinth".

My wife and I are big fans of Labyrinth and David Bowie. For her birthday a few years ago I got her this:
Labyrinth As The World Falls Down
Coffee with half and half and sugar. My hot tea blend the same way.(half fine black tea, usually something from Cornwall, and half roasted Yerba mate')

When I was in high school, back in the late 1970's, my friends and I would take the bus home each day. We were the typical D&D nerds, with all that and the late 70's implies. We would mess around on the bus, having fun and causing irritation to the rich kids who couldn't drive to school because they were either too young or had their license revoked (There were a surprising number of the latter. )
After we messed around enough, the richies would chide us for acting oddly. They would call us names. So we ran with it. A sample:
My friends and I up to our usual nonsense. Rich kid points at me accusingly: "You're strange!"
Me, pointing to my friend: "No, I'm Weird. He's Strange!"
My friend pointing to his brother: "Yes! I'm Strange, and this is my brother Maladjusted!"
There were up to a dozen of us, all sporting odd monikers, just to further annoy the straights. We'd all introduce ourselves, and bring the level of irritation to a crescendo. It was great fun.
They really hate being called 'weird,' huh?
Need to show this to my students.
I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!
