I know what y’all are thinking…what a sexist thing to say. But you may not know where this saying comes from. Or at least a few less derogatory theories on the origin of this saying. There are numerous hotly debated theories on the origin of the word pussy and connotations surrounding sayings like “don’t be… Read More Don’t Be a Pussy
Total transparency…this blog is mostly a rerun because I’m still in a food coma from yesterday and simply could not get my brain moving…but it’s a goodie! Today is Black Friday, and personally, I think that is a gruesome name for the day. Years ago, I talked with my nephew’s wife at our annual traditional… Read More Black Friday
As the holiday fast approaches, I started thinking of how much further from the original meaning this holiday has traveled. Not unlike Christmas, the commercialization of this holiday has traveled a long road.

The other day, I was doing my daily scroll through Facebook and came across a post that showed an article about the history of the middle finger.

I was scrolling through Facebook posts this past week and noticed a friend had achieved a #1 ranking, and I congratulated them on their achievement. The author responded by stating that the ranking was short-lived. I replied that they should take the win because nothing in life is forever. If only I could take that… Read More Marketing Badge

The other day, I was having a private online conversation with a friend and lamented about my lack of writing. I don’t feel too much pressure to write since 2024 is already planned out for me because of my spinoff trilogy. But lately, I have seriously considered hanging up my pen, so to speak. In… Read More Existential Crisis
I love reading the various news stories, especially the human interest ones that stay far away from politics…or do they? This past week I read an article titled, “Turns Out Most Animals Are Pretty Frickin Gay.” Of course that title caught my eye and I knew I had to blog on it. Given the all-out… Read More Most Mammals Are Pretty F$%king Gay!
As happens so often, I was reading a Facebook post questioning the reality of ripping silk panties in a particularly passionate sex scene. Many noted that silk is an incredibly strong material requiring quite a bit of force to rip. Of course that got me thinking about the old comparison between silk and iron and… Read More Bodice Rippers
The other night I was in bed, trying to fall asleep and like many nights I had the strangest thoughts. Yes, I have insomnia. Anyway, I was thinking about how some of my favorite swear words can be at a minimum both nouns and verbs, and perhaps even derivatives could become adverbs or adjectives as… Read More The Versatile Swear Word
