My brain seriously has a mind of its own. I really do not understand why such random things get stuck in my head, and why I have to contemplate them so seriously. Last night was no exception. My lovely brain decided it wanted to know why bad words were considered bad. And who exactly made that decision. I mean, what if those words were considered "normal" at one point? Can you imagine it?? I kept envisioning the court of Camelot...with all those knights fighting for their fair ladies. And I was like, what if those regal ladies all cursed like sailors? But didn't realize they were cursing. Because all those naughty words weren't naughty at the time...
And what would happen if normal, benign words we use in everyday conversation today were really naughty? For instance, what if the word "bleep" was actually a swear word? That would mean that every time we're bleeping out a naughty word, we're actually saying a naughty word. And what if the word spoon didn't mean an eating utensil, and it actually meant something really mean? What would we call spoons? I could keep going, my brain certainly did...at least 2 hours...and I'm pretty sure I finally fell asleep, and dreamt about this. Nice....
