Mr. Shit and Ms. Fuck

Now that the use of the words “Shit” and “Fuck” have become so common the impact of using those words is pretty much gone. Sure, people might tell you to watch your language and you still can’t say it on most of TV, but that seems like stubbornness to me. I mean, everyone knows what shit and fuck mean. There are several alternative ways to say these words, slang or no. And why are they so unmentionable? One you do as a result of eating which keeps you alive, the other is what gave you life in the first place.

So, in the face of all that, why are these words unspeakable? I can’t think of any good reasons, so I came up with a theory. Long ago there were two people: Mr. Shit and Ms. Fuck. But these people were so evil that saying their names would bring fear to people. Just like Voldemort.

And lo, those two people ruined great words with their evil ways. And now you know.
