Today a man who I was helping was struggling to get into his email account and in frustration he said "God--" and I was sure that was going to end in "damn it!" but instead he said "bless America!"
(Later he said "Cool beans" in response to something else, so obviously he has a variety of uncommon expressions. Also, I know you can be kicked out of the library for swearing, so I'm glad I didn't have to consider the status of "damn it" as a swear word.)
The correct phrase is "cool flippin' beans"
ReplyDeletehow old was this dude?
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good at telling, but I'd guess around 50.
DeleteWe have a patron at our library who says "Darn it" constantly when he's on the computer
