fuck decency.

we attach ourselves to certain words, phrases, or ideas in order to think we’re smart, or “deep,” or distingustingly profound. the truth is, we’re not. rather, there exist a few people in this world who think—really think—about issues at hand. examples:

regardless (or, “irregardless)
contradiction
dichotomy (if you are apart of the academy)

…and the bane of my existence—inappropriate. this word is overused and thus devoid of all meaning. what, may i ask, does it mean to be inappropriate? as an aside—but equally as ridiculous—what does it mean to be nice?

we all believe ourselves to have a sense of what it means to be inappropriate. pubic hair—inappropriate. same-sex loving—inappropriate. ample cleavage—inappropriate. guns—a bit more questionable.

here you have it—a twisted americentric sense of what suits common standards of decency. i don’t answer questions, i just raise them.
