Vice Squad

I've realized that over the last 3 years I've eliminated most of my vices. I don't smoke, drink or use drugs anymore. I'm married, which means that the glee of promiscuity is lost to me. And I have a baby, which means I have less time to get into trouble. Furthermore, since transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, I've cut out most of the foods I used to really enjoy.
My only remaining vices (if you can call them that) are:
swearing
driving fast with the radio turned up too high
sex
caffeine
What are your vices?
Caveat: this thread isn't for folks who want to judge each others' personal habits. Just chit-chat, OK? ;)b
the more time I spend on the Internet the worse my profanity issues get. Not just on VW either. It's endemic.
I need to read more Shakespeare, I guess. C*nt didn't become popular as an expletive till about 150 years after him. And I've never actually seen the F word written in literature until about the 1800's. You want some wild synonyms to the F word that no one in the US has ever heard, read John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester (aka The Libertine). He has a whole profane vocabulary! "Pudder", "swive," and like that. They all mean the same thing.
Lets start a cuss word of the day thread..................
I need to cuss people out in ways they don't understand.
Shakepearean Insult Kit. Not much with the cussing, but it's still fun.
eta: I swear that site used to randomly put together insults for you... but I just went there to look, and it's lists of words from which you can pick. Oh well.
I drink too much.
I swear too much, way way too much - not just little swear words either fuck and c*nt are my favourite swear words.
I can't help slagging people off, and bitching about people.
I think that I'm better than most people I meet.
So looking at that list - overall not a nice person!
You need to come to Auckland. We are going to get on famously :D

I remember reading 'queynte' in Chaucer and being all, "Hold up, Jeff, I see what you did there".

Yeah, wasn't "quinny" an acceptable predecessor to "cunt"?
I basically have every vice you'd expect and so far no complaints! "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints" :)>>>

I forgot that! Quim, quinny, cunny--as in coney, rabbit. Coneys were the predecessor to "beaver." Because of course beavers (or beevors) only became popular as fur creatures when they were found in the New World in the 17th century. In Spanish "conejo" (rabbit) is used for the same thing. I've always liked the elongated form, "cunnicle." It just sounds kind of cute.
procrastination....... i need to get all nike and 'just do it'
