Alright, let’s talk about that word, the “F” word, you know, fuck. Where did it come from? Don’t ask me, I ain’t no fancy scholar. But I heard some folks sayin’ it’s been around a long, long time, maybe since the 1400s or somethin’. Some say it came from them German or Dutch fellas, who knows? Back then, it was just a plain word for, well, you know… doin’ the deed. Nothin’ fancy, just plain talk.
Anyways, this word, it stuck around. Now everybody and their grandma uses it, though my grandma woulda washed my mouth out with soap if I said it! It ain’t just for the bedroom no more. You hear it when folks are mad, when they’re happy, when they’re surprised… heck, they even use it when they’re just talkin’ regular! It’s like salt, you can put it on pretty much anything, I guess.
And then there’s these little pictures, emojis they call ‘em. They got pictures for everything now, even that “F” word thing! Can you believe it? Little tiny pictures for all sorts of stuff, even the dirty stuff. I saw my grandkid usin’ ‘em the other day, tappin’ away on that phone of his. He had this eggplant picture, and then a peach, and then… well, you get the picture. Kids these days, I tell ya.
- Eggplant emoji, that means somethin’, you know, down there for the fellas.
- Peach emoji, well, that’s somethin’ for the ladies, round and juicy like.
- Taco emoji, that’s… uh… somethin’ else entirely, if you catch my drift.
- And then there’s the water drops, they say that means, well, you know… the big O. Goodness gracious!
These emojis, they ain’t just pictures, they’re like a whole other language. You can say all sorts of things without usin’ any words at all. Like that hot face emoji, with the tongue hangin’ out. My grandkid says it can mean you’re hot, like sweaty hot, or maybe you think someone’s good-lookin’. Or it could mean you’re just plain thirsty, like for a drink. It’s all so confusing to an old woman like me.
And then there’s this hand emoji, with the middle finger stickin’ up. Now, even I know what that means! That ain’t no polite hello, that’s for sure. That’s tellin’ someone to go straight to… well, you know where. It’s kinda like sayin’ the “F” word without actually sayin’ it. Clever, I guess, but still rude as heck.
So, you got this word, fuck, been around forever. And now you got these emojis, little pictures that can say the same thing, or even more. It’s a whole new world, I tell ya. Sometimes I think it’s all gone to hell in a handbasket, with all this talkin’ and picturin’ the dirty stuff. But then again, folks have been doin’ that since the beginning of time, just in different ways. Ain’t that somethin’?
And them Japanese folks, they started all this emoji business. Little phones and such, then it just blew up. Now everybody’s got ‘em. It’s like a secret code, but everybody knows the code. Makes an old lady’s head spin, I tell you what.
So, whether you say the “F” word loud and clear, or you use a little picture, it all comes down to the same thing, don’t it? People are gonna talk, and they’re gonna express themselves, one way or another. And sometimes, that expression ain’t gonna be pretty, but it’s gonna be real. That’s just the way it is, and I don’t reckon it’s gonna change anytime soon.
And as for me, I’ll stick to plain talkin’. No fancy words or little pictures for this old woman. If I gotta say something, I’ll just say it. And if I don’t like something, well, you’ll know it. No need for all that emoji mumbo jumbo. But that’s just me, I guess. The world keeps changin’, and folks keep findin’ new ways to say what’s on their mind, or maybe not say it at all, just show it with some picture. And I guess that’s alright, long as folks understand each other. That’s the important thing, right?
