Lesser Yellowlegs

I read an article about the term frickin'. It is just an alternate way of saying a similar dirty word (it's roots come from 1892 steel workers strike). The article went on to say thru the ages there have been many other similar substitution words - Gee, Gosh, Golly, Shoot, Darn -for example. That got me to thinking what should I say when I hit my thumb w/ a hammer? Well, one way to "cuss" is to use a person's name in vain. What person would I ever hold in such little regard that I would want to blame them for the bad things in life? Probably Rush Limbaugh. It may take awhile before I start saying that automatically, though.

I started saying the word, "Sugar!" whenever something like that happened in the presence of a little girl. I can blame sugar for a lot of bad things in life, actually.
