flipping it

I'm a friendly person i like to think. But when it comes to guy friends i have only like 5 or 6 close ones. I only swear in front of two of them. One has been a friend since the second grade, the other since tenth grade, but is like a brother and a sister and a pet all in one.

When i say swearing here i mean swearing in Arabic. In other words, swearing that sounds like swearing and not the stuff we hear in movies.

Anyway, last night a bunch of us were out and one of the ones-we-don't-swear-in-front-of said something to me i didnt like so i gave him the finger.

He was shocked. Like REALLY shocked. He froze and his mouth opened and he was all like, "you? this is coming from YOU?"

there was no harm in it he was joking i wasn't really pissed off and i was joking and he wasn't really pissed off (i think), but the happening inspired this post.

It's not like my friends and i swear all the time but we, or speaking for myself i will say i, occasionally use the offensive word or phrase that fit a situation more that a clean version of the same meaning. i would love to give an example but i don't think it's appropriate to publish. for one, i don't know who reads this and i am clearly pragmatic when it comes to what language to use with whom. also, arabic swear words definitely come off as more offensive than the english counterparts.

i occasionally use a swear word or two not because i don't have a decent upbringing but just because i think sometimes its okay to swear, feel free to judge. as Fall Out Boy puts it, "I don't care what you think as long as it's about me."
