Reclaiming words fun

Things Damon has learnt never to say to women #43

I use the word 'cunt' because I am reclaiming it for you

So now you've 'reclaimed' it, what are you going to... oh, never mind...!

Does your mother read this blog?

Come on Damon, you do know that's no way to talk to the ladies!

And I thought you were a nice polite, talented media bloke.Well you are sweetie, but probably the word came in to your mind, like they do!

Damon said...

Call it experiments with irony.

I think it was a near example of Damon's famous patented 'powerful boredom'. I sometimes get powerfully bored and just say or do stuff. Like the time I wrote to Greg Dyke. Won't go into that. It's just embarrassing now I look back on it.

Fang, no my mum doesn't read this blog. In fact she doesn't read anything I write any more! She thought BlindKiss was stupid but does have a sneaking respect for Ouch ... but only in terms of monitoring what her son has to say. I'm not allowed to use such language on that site though ... but for a BBC site I think we do rather push the fold / margin / whatever the word is. Too early on a Sunday morning and there's no Frost to look forward to any more.

Frost?! Is he still with us? Sunday mornings are for sleeping off Saturday nights - and I thought you were living the London life...

Okay then, you just say and do stuff do you? I love the idea of your powerful boredom Damon, it sounds cool, but what's even worse is your mad way of thinking I'm that I have to be a hard bitch!
You haven't seen nothing yet! It's even my welcome note on my mobile!
I get powerfully bored too so I know how you feel,
Let's be powerfully bored together, it's fun!
