shadesofmauve: (can we fix it?)
One of the other amusing points in our weekend was Kiyoko's ongoing education in the many uses of the word 'fuck'.

My parents gave her the 45 minute introductory course last week after listing to Samuel L Jackson read the children's book Go the f**k to sleep, but the many nuances of 'fuck' require advanced instruction. We attempted to remedy this lack when she and [livejournal.com profile] zair99 came over to my place for dinner Saturday.

Not that curse-education was the plan, exactly, but when we were all seated around the table and she gravely asked "So, can I use 'motherfucker' to describe a woman?" we couldn't turn down the opportunity.Later [livejournal.com profile] madalchemist joined us for s'mores on the new patio, and we were treated to hearing her say "abso-fuckin-lutely" apparently at random in the most adorable accent ever.

The key is getting across the idea that when we use it as an emphasiser we're not actually thinking of the meaning. The advanced-advanced course gets back to places where you DO think of the meaning, but while my mom may happily explain how to use 'fuck' in a conversation for 45 minutes, she does draw the line somewhere, and the glare I got when suggested adding "-- sideways with a rusty screwdriver" was painful enough that I didn't bring it up again, even at my own house.
