I grew up in a home where cursing and calling derrogatory names was accepted. I just don't like name-calling; it shows a lack of creative thinking. I wish the mood list was longer and gave us more words to use to describe where our mood is currently. (frazzled, surly, venomous, frozen, distracted, sparkly, manic, comatose, twitchy, pugnacious, childlike....) I'm sure there are many people with descriptives that could really add some pizzaz to the mood list without the use of words that are degrading. When I have felt closest to feeling like the "b" word, I could also use other words to describe it better - anxious, intense, volatile, irritable, miserable, contentious!

I was an English major in college so I really love to see people use our Language in clever ways without sinking to the lowest common denominator to express themselves.
