[Peugeot-L] language & venting

These are good questions and fine points. I hardly think you're at a loss for words. Well spoken. In my daily newsletter we have discussed this same topic. Yes someone pointed to the sailor story for the acronym for the 'first' dirty word . I don't know if that makes it true. But I like the story. I think I can shed some light on dick wad and fricken. I believe they both are forms of colloquialisms. Or a more pleasant way to say something we all know what means without in the case of the Internet getting flagged by the foul language filters and or moderators. We all know what freakin' means, but dick wad? What could this be a cleansed form of? You got it Butt wad. This term brings a really unpleasant image to mind, generally thought of to be completely tasteless. I got a wad in my butt. Dick wad sounds more forgivable. Hey, I got a wad, Johnny Wad.

I was curious why the author of the slashed tire Peugeot needed to put the evil hex on Argentinean mechanics? When I first read the story I realised the moderator let some serious venting take place in this group. Curious, as I hadn't seen this type of drivel here before. So, all you have to do to get crap by the moderator is write "I love my Peugeot?"

I still want to know what Argentina has to do with his car. The writer may have been satisfied with his outburst, but I for one, was left hanging. Where was the car when he left it with the drug crazed Argentinean? United States? Mexico? Argentina?
Come on man, you got us going, finish the stupid story.

I hope people don't take this the wrong way. I believe we need to take full responsibility for everything.
I have been in the service field for thirty years. I cringe when someone walks in the door and says, "I have had this in every shop in town... blah blah blah."
