good bad language

Some things I say to get myself fired up:

Illegitimi non carborundum est

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
(Who "them" is, I don't know, but it scratches the itch. I would like to pretend this is unrelated to The Big Chill, but it's not. Came at a formative time.)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh no motherfuckers, not today
(From Prince's "The Pope"; has a very distinct meter to it. Good to yell at vending machine when it's got your potato chips trapped.)

I ain't scared of you motherfuckers
(Also sampled in "The Pope," but more famous as Bernie Mac's seriously crucial line on Def Comedy Jam)

Coraggio!
(That's mom)

• Onward and upward! Bigger and better!
(That's also mom)

Faint heart never fucked a pig
(
Usually muttered to self as "faint heart never..." By whatshisname.)

Life is short

Fuck this shit

• Don't fuck with me fellas, it ain't my first time at the rodeo
(Oh...you know.)

I'm forgetting others. Sorry about all the fucks!
