Bad news, worse news

On September 14, 2006, in Meanderings, by Mitch Milam

Well, I guess it was only a matter of time, but my Mom finally found my blog. That's the bad news.  Then she read it.  That's where the worst news comes in. :)

As it turns out, she doesn't like me using "bad words." 

"What bad words?" I asked.

"I don't know. Dumb-butt, or something." She said.

"Oh. You mean dumbass?" I replied.

"Yes.  I didn't teach you words like that."

"I know you didn't Mom. I learned them in school."

"Why can't you use another word; like DoDo or something?" She asked.

So now I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I don't think that DoDo conveys the same meaning as Dumbass. It really just does't roll off the tongue as easily. 

So, I think I'll go with a variation, that I will call "French" and start using the word "dumass."

 

By the way,  my research has shown me the following: 

dumbass (plural dumbasses)

Singular
dumbass
Plural
dumbasses

  1. (vulgar slang) An insulting term describing one as having less intelligence than a typical donkey.

Retrieved from "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dumbass"

dodo (plural dodoes or dodos)
  1. A large, flightless bird, Raphus cucullatus, related to the pigeon, that is now extinct and was native to Mauritius.
    As dead as a dodo.

Retrieved from "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dodo"

 

I guess I'd rather just be a donkey rather than an extinct bird.

  1. [...] Now I don't know exactly how this happened, but about 2 and 1/2 hours out of Dallas, I happened to question whether or not I had packed my suit.  I hadn't.  Dumass. [...]
