In a culture where the masses strive to be sophisticated and word-weary, the public use euphemisms to be "politically sensitive" and aspire to make society look a tad bit less... fucked up. It seems to me that everything seems to be a little more fucked up the more we use euphemisms. Things appear to be a more fake; it gives a nebulous face-value.
Consequently, this word-play ultimately befuddles the true value of understanding word, whether when or how to use them. I have no fucking idea when to use certain type of words. Some words might infringe upon others beliefs or whatnot, but when did things get so complicated? I feel so daft for not knowing what vocabulary to use anymore; it’s gotten pretty ridiculous. In the cosmic world wordsmithing, I am lost for words.
I cringe when people use terminology like, “the ‘oriental people’ eat a lot of... whatever.” The word oriental is never used. I mean, the only place I can think of is on ramen packets. I feel like a packet of ramen when people use "oriental" in place as plain old "Asian." I hate it how people use euphemisms for sex. I mean, yeah, it's not something you should do in the park, but it is human nature, and calling it "intercourse" seems a bit, how can I put it, retarded? Simply put, having sex, fucking, getting your sex on is all fine by me. Let’s drop this absurdity, and get back to simplicity.
Sure things are going to be different, but whatthehey, wouldn’t it be nice to just speak your mind? Now, I’m not saying we should be asses, I’m just sick of handpicking everything I want to say… Fuck.
