    Well…. since Bev didn’t go get it…….even though I’m fading out tonight…..I will go get Tony’s question for you all…..

    Sigh….

    OK, Tony asks (not me)…

    “Do you yell?”

    Why, Tony?Are you going to do something you’re afraid will make me yell at you?

    Well, I have to confess…. no, I’m not much of a yeller.

    I have yelled, upon rare occasions…. but I had to be pushed to the brink.Mostly cos I was yelled at,something I hate… and lost it, embarrassingly.

    As for what the words mean…back in my elementary school days, I wouldn’t have had a clue.

    We were too busy building stone weapons and feeding our dinosaurs to hang out where such language was used… and wouldn’t have been allowed in anyway.If we did hear an unfamiliar term of….um …. endearment, and try to look it up, it wasn’t even in the dictionary.

    Nowadays the kids hear that stuff everywhere… the dictionaries include almost everything, and whatever isn’t in them is readily Googled.

    More likely that Elliot can teach Peter a thing or two about “bad” words….though I’m willing to believe he doesn’t understand some of the actual concepts.

    That reminds me that when I was maybe15, we weren’t allowed to utter a ghost of an obscene, scatological or blasphemous syllable in our high school. But there was a fad amongst the jocks… I knew they were somehow doing the equivalent of swearing at each other, because they said it under their breath…. calling each other a “mother.”Say what?

    So I asked my own mother why it would be a swear word,and she honestly didn’t know.

    So I asked my father…and got yelled at and punished. Huh?

    I was in college before I figured it out.I shoulda asked Elliot.

    I know the words and I am not afraid to use them, just very judiciously.

    @TonyI prefer not to yell, unless distance is involved and yelling in anger is a waste of time and effort.

    Just how old is he? If under 12, maybe, but not likely. Older, then he knows.

    Yell, sometimes, when necessary mostly as a warning and at a distance! Like watch out! or things like that!

    Almost never. But then I hardly ever talk, either.

    @TonyI don’t yell in anger, but I do have a bad habit of yelling through the house since I don’t want to have to leave whatever room I’m in and walk to the room where the person I want to say something to is.

    @Tony

    Do you yell?

    No, I find I am better able to get one’s attention by gradually lowering my voice…

    QOTD#2: Did not know the meaning of all the words. Just the fact that they were forbidden to say.

    My husband and I yell at each other all the time, sounds awful, means nothing. We blow off steam. Better than seething resentment.Question #2Of course I know what those words mean, I went to a Catholic Girls High School in the Inner City of Los Angeles. Need I say more?

    I don’t yell, but I do speak loudly at times since I deal with people who don’t hear very well (at least BEFORE I help them out).
