I think spellchecker is a Jackass.
I love the word Jackass. I am going to try to insert it into my everyday life more often. Typically, I say Jackbutt, but really, it doesn't have as much oomph as Jackass. I mean, one of my very favorite sisterly put downs is "You are such a horse-toothed Jackbutt." I definitely find myself muttering "Horse-toothed Jackbutt" under my breath several times a day. I've noticed though, that substituting "butt" for "ass" definitely tones it down. So if you're trying to really make a point or be fresh to someone, you definitely have to go with Jackass.
Don't you think?
I've never noticed that with the spell check, but it's no sham.
ReplyDeleteJackbutt doesn't really have as much kick. I agree.
