Joe, did you read Salman Rushdie's Ground Beneath her Feet? There is a point there where Rai's mother is yelling at Vina for loosing her virginity. I don't have the book near me (lent it to my mom), but he idea is that the curses she throws at Vina don't hurt her; what hurts is "I am so happy you are not my daughter", and other sayings like that.Joesitz said:for me, cuss words just don't affect me as much as insulting words as moron, weirdo, dork, idiot, skinny, fatso, sissy, ***, dyke, nigger, etc. But hey, I'm different.
