chronic vs. acute

You know by now I like to keep this blog real.

One of my mentors today made a joke about cursing. He said “I’m a chronic cusser, not an acute cusser”, which made me laugh really hard.

And it made me thing really hard (that was supposed to say *think*, but that typo is really funny so I’m leaving it. And I’m Irish). Because I really dig the power of words, especially curse words. I’m not supposed to say things like that, but oh well. A well placed curse word can do wonders for your day.

I have a goal with my staff (aka the people that work for me for events/sundays/etc.) that if they can go 3 weeks without hearing me curse I am being a “good leader”, and that rarely happens. I’m sure they will comment and testify to that fact.

So I thought I would ask you, web friends, how’s your mouth doing? Are you a chronic cusser, or an acute cusser? You can go here to see the difference between chronic and acute.

I think I’m a recovering chronic cusser with acute relapses. Ha.

    I think I am slowly becoming a chronic cusser the more I am around you!

    It used to be a second (fluent) language for me. Now, I try to tone it down for my kids. Sometimes, ya just let one slip for impact.

    I would have to say acute……I seldom cuss at all, but if the occasion calls for it, I have been known to slip in one or two :)

    No, she doesn’t read this blog. She did tell me however, that she will haunt your dreams. Sleep tight…(creepy laugh).

    Chronic for me, all the way. Although I must admit that being an acute cusser is more powerful. Those words really get some attention when they don’t fly out of your mouth often.
