The word or PHRASE for the day, provided by our USMC Steve, is "shitbird." The definition provided is: a person of very dubious value, usually up to no good. USMC Steve was kind enough to provide a Chris Sears version as well or as he put it for those who haven't quite gone over to the darkside and started cursing "turdbird." But it loses some of its bite that way, don't you think?
A classy person would say shit before he would say turd.
Since I have seen my name used in vain once again, I must explain that I do swear, but with the utmost of propriety and appropriateness. I will always use the properly suited swear word and the one most fit for the distinctive description of that which I am swearing about. I just cannot bring myself to say "crude" words, some of which are used in everyday speaking today. They are hard to describe but you just (or at least "I" just) know them when they are said. They are an indication of the character and intelligence of the person and I will admit (and am a little sorry to say) that I definitely have a prejudice agaisnt people on that regard. (By the way,I also find it very hard to like anyone who is not grammatically correct)
By the above, you would never know how much FUN I really am!!!

Now this reminds me of a friend of mine who had a parrot named Polly and that bird would talk as soon as you walked in the door. It had the most fowl mouth well in this case the most fowl of a fowl beak. hehehe
It used to say, Polly is hot, Polly is a dirty bird.
