Ok... Now what?
First let me say that I am happy with the amount of responses I am getting to this piece. I'm starting to see some trends and many repeats which will help with the averaging process. However I am stuck with a dilemma here: the assignment for which I am doing this is do next week and I am unable to figure out what to do with the results. Obviously I am going to be left with a word which I could probably use to set water on fire yet I don't know what to do with it. Do I simply say it? Do I display it publicly? Do I keep it to myself and never let it see the light of day? Just as you have commented on the previous post I am curious to hear your ideas as to what I should do with the deplorable word you've helped me create.

My first idea would be to work it into conversation, but then if it catches on it will one day be overused itself and will lose the new meaning it has been given. But conversely, if you keep it in a box away from the world, then the meaning and power of the ultimate offensive word will never be felt. I suppose it is a question to you... would you rather have something that is powerful but doomed to become mainstream like everything else, or have something that will never lose its potency but never see the light of day either?
