F-f-f-fatigue

A man apologizes for scribbling an obscentiy on the check he used to pay his parking ticket with, but his lawyer says he could have fought it:

The lawyer for David Binner, 45, said his client would have prevailed if he went through a trial.

"The F-word isn't what it used to be," attorney Keith Williams said. It doesn't have a sexual connotation anymore and so can't be considered obscene, he said.

Granted, the F-word has been so overused that it has lost some of its shock value. But the lawyer is out of his mind. It's still the mother of all vulgarities.

Granted it IS the MOAO, but to hear most of my neighbors use it with such "passion" right up there alongside the *N* word (mostly as some "term of endearment" makes one wonder what PATH we're headed on as a society.

The name "primrose" doesn't seem to figure into that somehow.
