Language is a beautiful thing that offers so many ways to express oneself — including with a well-timed swear word. Or many. Who’s to put a number on what’s necessary to convey the depth of your emotions? They are just words, after all, and yet, they get put in the category of being “frowned upon” in certain settings — at the very least —more often than not. I’m clearly not here to tell you to not swear. Just the opposite, really.
What I’m trying to say is that you are in the correct place if any of these things are true: If you think the statement “I love to read,” while accurate, isn’t as expressive in conveying the sheer volume that you love to read and prefer to say “I love to fucking read.” Or, you live by the motto, “Maybe swearing will help.” Maybe the idea of swear words being especially taboo when you were a child drove you into adulthood, proud to have a potty mouth!
So, if you’re a bookworm with a sweary sensibility, I found you some bookmarks, stickers, a journal, a pendant, a tote bag, a t-shirt, an enamel pin, and a mug that will appeal to both your book-loving heart and your drop-a-well-timed-f-bomb-(or other swear)-heart.
