Whoa. That rules. (Er, wait a second, did I just say "that rules"? :)) And that pretty much matches my own views regarding the use of swear words, as I mentioned a good while ago on the forum... the use of swear words just as meaningless "filler" annoys me a lot more than when the words actually are used in accordance with their literal meanings.

And, just to tie this back to the original thread, when I got my cable modem first installed I was so excited that I exclaimed it would be "ruling". My mom, for some reason, found that a strange comment to come from me. Now that I think about it, I can see why.

I really have been hanging out here too long, haven't I? :)
