But, I see Divine_Wino got there before me.
Why, I wonder, are we all such fans of F-Words.
Fancy that. It's fascinating.

In my book, it's kind of a given that you win every thread you post in.

It's a fart with a payload or "shit" as it's more commonly known. Can't remember where I first heard it but for obvious reasons, I'll never forget it.
posted by KevinSKomsvold 14 December | 15:52
Wow. Google is helpful as always:

Oh, I thought it was going to mean like a fart you saved in the leg pocket of some of those cargo pants.
Which for some reason seemed like something that, at least in the abstract, would be amazing.

floccus, -i a wisp or piece of wool, used idiomatically as flocci non facio ("I don't care"; more literally "I don't make wool")

(From floccinaucinihilipilification. I guess antidisestablismentarianism has been replaced as longest word.)

Yeah, so anyway, I'm gonna start saying "floccus" instead of "I don't give a flying fuck." I'm toying with the idea of swearing less. Not sure why.

Also: I think the heart problems I have when I have any caffeine is supraventricular tachycardia.

Oh, right: febrile. Lagniappe. Spurious. Multifarious. Saturnine. Irenic (no, not ironic). Pecadillos. Spork.


P.S. IRFH, I'll take The Rapists for $400.
