Interesting. What kind of linguistic talk you wanted to start initially?

pretty much what I already said. I just have a very strong opinion hyperfocused on the fact that english's has got a kinda dogshit selection of swears/exclamations in terms of how it "feels" to say them.

I feel like there's just a selection of situations/emotions that the standard "four letter words" don't cover because of their basic construction of flat inflection, single syllable (usually) words ending with a hard consonant, they're all very similar. english dosn't have any words that, like, trail off good, unless you just truncate the word at the vowel, and even then, ehh...

I will say that I have seen other people start to reembrace "golly" more widely which is a word whose phonetic construction is fairly unique among its peers.
