when bad words are good

I am typically opposed to language stasis. Language must evolve. To that end the meanings of words alter and become changed over the course of time. The process can be from an easy natural progression to a deliberate intervention. As a writer, like it or not, I am on the front line of language.


There are words which are used to make juvenile items that have no need for being made juvenile. I find it unbelievable when I hear an adult speak to a child and refer to common body parts in terms utterly ridiculous. Why would an adult tell a child that breasts were "titties"? Why would that call a penis a "pee pee"?


It is at these times that I realize the full value of the phrase
"Fuck Off and Die".
