In most posts on this blog I'm describing jail conditions. The description below is not an exaggeration, but a very true condition. I hope it is not too profane for my readers. I've written creatively to emphatically describe the condition.
Dictionary.com has a "word of the day" that anyone can subscribe to. Around noon everyday some word that more than likely you have never heard of, or will never use, will be sent to you and you can look up the definition. In the Cheatham County Jail there is a "word of the day," but it is the same word every single day - used more often than any other word. Used almost in every sentence, in some grammatical form, one does not have to have a dictionary to understand its meaning.
The "F-Bomb" is the most prolific word used in the lexicon of the CCJ (or any jail, I'm sure). Used as a noun, it usually has the prefix "mother" and the suffix "er." As a verb, it is most likely to be in the past tense having an "ed" attached. But with the same spelling it can also be used as a predicate adjective, i.e. "I'm ....ed." If it is used as a regular adjective, "ing" is attached to the base form. Can't recall it being used as an adverb; but, I suppose the more educated here would find some way to add an "ly" and use it profoundly. Hmmm? Don't know if it can be used as a preposition, but there are creative people in jail.
If is used in a declarative sentence: "I got ___ in court today." It is often used in an interrogative sentence: "What the ___?" As an exclamatory sentence it is greatly used: "Look at that M.F'er run with that football." In an imperative sentence a command is given: "___ you."
So you see, this word form is widely used. This writer makes no judgements, for he, himself, has been wrongly judged. I'll let more Divine powers be the judge. It is my understanding that the Divine sees the heart more than anything else. We are all bi-products of our families, churches, schools and neighborhoods, etc. This writer only reports. It is a fact, this is a new cultural experience and a new language in which this reporter is routinely accustomed. It is also a fact, I would rather be around more uplifting and inspirational language.

May we one day find cause to celebrate the release and removal of tyranny and persecution for "All".
