Pee-Are-Ooh-Eff-Aye-Enn-Aii-Tee-Why

Hey you! Im bored. and procrastinating. and that is the reason why im blogging. everytime when i blog, its always because there is work due and i just can't bring my fat little fingers to click open the file and work on it. current pressing matter: Interim Report 2. But i really dont know how to do it anymore. T.T so let me take another day off the report and blog to jot my writing inspirations and start on it tmr. (what a lame excuse.)

life has been pretty much the same. so yea, its just work, home, gym, sleep. repeat. despite gymming, ive been gaining ALOT of weight. im hoping its pms weight gain/bloating tho. sigh. or maybe because pms is here and im craving food like i haven't eaten in thousand years. gotta restrain myself more! self-control chewlin self-control. okay enough of this. let me extend another 6 months till i reach my ideal body. NTS: 24 inch waist and VS model worthy body leggo.

so anyway, the title of it today was inspired by these years of hearing my friends sprouting profanity all day long. note that i have nothing against you guys using it, although my post here might make you guys a little offended. I am not gonna stop you guys from using it, because it has been a habit to you guys. But friends around me knows that profanity and bad language is a big no-no for me. For nineteen years, i have only sprouted vulgar twice. Once, as an imitation of another person. And another, for genuinely scolding. But the thing is, now that i think of my "genuinely scolding" with profanity, i find that i make no sense. i'll explain more in a while. But anyway, that one time when i sprouted vulgar, my secondary school friends started to whatsapp me, call me and literally went crazy. because i have sch a strict rule on the usage that they know if i were to use it, it was a serious issue that drove me to the brink. its kinda funny to think back on it. hahahahaha.

so what exactly is profanity?

According to the website we all love and yet hate that schools are preventing us from using it because it is an unreliable source, Profanity is bad language, strong language, foul language, bad words, vulgar, swearing, cursing, cussing. so basically, it is all the #Y%@^$#@(($@&#@ that people in today's world like to use. Honestly speaking, i don't see why is it nice to use vulgarities. I don't even know why the language exist in the first place.

Now, i know that teenagers today like to mix vulgar in their language. Regardless of it being in english or any other language. well, the most common ones are also in hokkien and cantonese. And it is saddening to know this. Yknow why? Because dialect is my means of communication with my grandparents. And even though dialect are slowly dying off, there are still the older generations who cannot understand english nor chinese adequately. Everytime when given a chance to go to an elder day care center or the hospice, even a simple dialect sentence asking if they have eaten made them so happy because of the familiar language. But to most teenagers today, their dialect dictionary only consist of vulgar that address to the other party's mom, dad, and maybe the entire ancestry.  Do you guys even know what your grandparents are talking about? I guess not. Because if you do, its prolly bad. Because it means that your grandparents are hurling vulgarities at you because basically that's what your knowledge of dialect is limited to anyway.

Setting the cantonese and hokkien vulgarities aside, because i know how easy it is to pick up dialect vulgar. I dont know why, people always tell me that that's the simplest thing that they know. In a way, it is good that you understand the vulgarity, because you will know it when someone is scolding you and you won't make a fool of yourself to think that they are speaking nice of you. But then, its another issue when you wanna use it as a form of language.

Now, we have all been through educations for at least 10 years. That compulsory 10 years of education taught us not only to find x, y, z, but also the importance of language. That 10 gruesome years of going to school and learning the means to communicate with others with proper grammar and improving your vocabulary over the years. Setting grammar and vocabulary issues aside (since grammar is basically non existence under the invasion of Singlish and im not in a proper position to talk about english language for i am not someone who speaks perfect english and types with zero grammar error), let's talk about making your sentences make sense. and for the context of this post, im gonna use the only vulgar ive ever sprouted and prolly the most common one : F***

We all speak in sentences to our friends. We form sentences from words and the reason why we choose these words are because they convey what we are trying to say. Looking in more, the reason why these words are chosen because their definition fits with what i want to say. let me give you an example:

"Tom was drunk"

Let's say someone asked you "what happened to Tom last night? He made such a huge mess!" 

Well, the definition of Tom is the person who you are talking about. The definition of drunk is being wasted after alcoholic drinks (and well to me, it also means doing stupid hilarious things after losing the ability to control your actions under alcoholic influence) . So basically, you put those words together and they make sense. what happened to him? he drank too much and was too wasted to stay sane. Makes sense? yes.

So now, let me introduce some vulgar:

"Tom was F***ing drunk"

well, for those who are blindly using vulgar, the definition of that word is coitus. or bluntly, having sexual intercourse. So yea, we are still talking about Tom. but are we still talking about him being wasted? The addition of that word. Erm. So he was having sexual intercourse with drunk. who is drunk. see, it doesn't make any sense. 

the best part of this whole "it doesn't make sense" theory was made known to me as a joke. By a primary school kid. Leepeng told me that her two younger brothers were arguing and the older one say "F*** you!" and the younger one went "F*** me no baby". it is hilarious but if you think of it, he is right. I mean, that entire sentence doesn't make any sense isn't it? 

But also, this word is widely used to express anger and annoyance. so maybe you will say that im just trying to be funny. but call me weird or whatsoever, i just don't see how putting vulgar into your sentences makes it any nicer. Regardless of boys or girls, no matter how pretty or suave you are, the moment you speak fluent vulgar, i pretty much judge you quicker than lightning. I have once heard this woman go like 30 F*** in like 5 sentences. I was horrified. I have no idea how placing vulgarities into sentences make them sound better. 

I know that it is a very versatile word. It fits into ALL situations. But then, just because it fits, doesn't mean it should be there. Isn't it?

i expected a longer post. but im more interested in my drama: Bride of the Century. Its a really nice show, and leehongki is just sooooooooooo cute. hahaha. 

Disclaimer: I do not wish for any uproar over my twisted logic on vulgar. you people can use it as much as you like. its just my 2 cents worth of thoughts. but thanks for reading anyway.
