I remember having a few expressions such as "how cool" and "dig it." I also eventually started using the nasty "F-word." She, however, did not swear until being overexposed to it. I was always saying things like "buck it" or "buck that." One day, out of the blue, she hollered "why don't you clean up your bucking room?" After the initial shock I'm pretty sure I said "how cool," mom used the f-word. :-) GW -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
