    Cluster Fuck

    Unfuckulate

    I have a passion for the word “fuck” I need to get back to. I love the word “cunt” but thats too volatile so I had to retire that word.

    Ass hat

    Clown Shoes

    Banana Head

    Yeah most of my terms are personal attacks on morons I work with.

      I cannot resist labeling ridiculous things as clown shoes.

      The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck highway. It’s a series of tubes.

          Do you mean how I pronounce or why I say it? If the latter, just because it sounds funny to me and it kind of became a running gag.
