Smeg

So I was blog browseing last night and I came to a halorious blog, Mikey J in the Morning. He had the great idea of doing a random article on Wikipedia and blogging about it. It was halorious how he got some random chemicle formula that made no sense so he made sense out of it by useing the knowledge he had, as he concluded that in gangster hospitals they serve sugar.

So I think I should do this. My word is.....

Smeg (vulgarism)

Apparently the word Smeg was made popular by some british comedy show that would use the word smeg to replace vulgar words such as curse words, by inventing their own word. They would say stuff like 'you smeghead' or 'you're such a smeg'.

Everyone experiences vulgar vocabulary in middle school and high school, as it is unavoidable. Every I have succumbed to the level of these words. It makes me think how my mom always told me that "People who use bad words only use them because they don't have a broad enough vocabulary to substitute them for other words." Only recently I've start to narrow my vocab into less 'smeg' terms. I was around a guy who used smeg in almost every sentence it seemed. When we were working together he would say really rude things like "thats a smeg idea" or "wow you are really smeg". And I was really, really offended. It was the first time ever in my life I had been offended by noises. I even called him out for it by saying "Do you really need to use smeg in every sentence?" And he responded "smeg yeah". This again offended me. Why could he not see how it was not acceptable by me to talk like that? I understood, no one around him had ever called him out on it. Kids learn from an early age that it is not polite to tell other people what we think is wrong with that, so the kids let them use all the language they want and because of that we hear one person use smeg so much, that we use smeg ourselves.

I agree by what my mom says by saying these people don't have a wide vocab. The problem isn't with themselves though, it is with everyone else. No one calls them out for it, so when I call someone out for useing smeg makes me look like a smeghead. We just need a place for people like me who are opposed to the use of smeg and all smegusers are banned from. So I guess for now I'll just listen to smeg.
