What the smock?
*warning: this post is not for the easily offended!
For the past month and a half, I have been through an ordeal trying to order art smocks for our preschool. After all this time, I still have no smocks, but what I do have is a headache a mile wide (how hard is it to order 6 smocks anyway?!). I will spare you all of the truly boring details, but it has been a very frustrating experience and almost had me beat until I realized today that the word "smock" makes an excellent expletive. Not that I am one to use expletives, but it works so well, I couldn't resist. Try it, it's fun!
Some examples:
"Who the smock do you think you are?"
"What the smock is going on here?!"
"I don't give a smock."
My head is feeling better already...

Those must be some smocks! I'd love to see what they look like (if you ever get them!)
Has your new expletive caught on at home yet?!
Well, I get a lot of laughs from Leslie when I used it yesterday. Howstuffworks.com has an article about swearing, and mentions that swearing isn't processed by the brain in the same place as language -- it's processed in the same place as emotion. Interesting, no?
