Gadzooks
Gadzooks.
In case we needed a reminder of just how twisted our cultural consciousness is,
look no further than to the ubiquitous use of the "f" word in our
conversations, in dialogue on TV and movies. and in our heads.
It's
not weird enough that we take this amazing, literally, life producing
phenomenon that is coincidentally the source of such much pleasure-even ecstasy
and turn it into the worst way to curse one another out. "What the
"f...", "f..." you, "Hey buddy, turn off the
"f...ing" ... ad nauseam, but, ironically, we can't use the
"f" word on the public air waves. Talk about schizophrenic. Is it any
wonder we are so polarized?
Now,
while I can attest to the fact that by putting those letters together in that
particular order as a way to express frustration and anger can be very
satisfying--for a second, I have a suggestion. Instead of defaulting to the
"f" word when you're bent out of shape, try saying,
"Gadzooks". While it may not have the plosive satisfaction of the
"f" word, it just may add a little humor to an otherwise irritating
moment.
Just think about it--in all the movies, TV show, conversations, etc.
hearing people say Gadzooks. Imagine how many times you'll be hearing it.
Enough to drive you crazy,
But
then again, when you think of how many times we use the twisted and inverted
version of the "f" word, an idiot can see that we're already nuts.
Who
knows, maybe by using the "G...ks" word we just may become a little
more conscious or at the least, not take ourselves and our annoyances so seriously
Who
knows? Maybe it will become so popular, will simply refer to it as the
"G" word.
Think
on't..
