Apologies for the many short posts yesterday but I really am beavering away on the manuscript. I’m probably going to be a bit obsessed until I send it in but what can you do? It’s an 18 hour a day part of my life.
One interesting thing is a feature in the program I’m using to write it. Not being a fan of Microsoft Word or the scabby, slow as fuck open source alternative, I’m using a thing called Scrivener which is very nice and I would recommend it to anyone using a Mac. As well as the word count (come on, come on), there’s a ‘word frequency’ section so I thought I’d tot up the swear word usage up to this point.
Curse Count
arse – 13
arsehole – 1
bastard -6
bollocks -7
cecilia – 1
cock – 3
cockbadger – 1
cunt – 25
cunting – 1
cunts – 18
flaps – 2
fuck – 45
fucked – 4
fucker – 9
fuckers – 6
fucking – 60
fuckpig – 1
fuuuuuuuck – 1
gee – 4
gobshite – 3
harney – 1
jesus – 34
piss – 11
prick – 2
rice – 22
shit – 19
shitface – 1
shite – 15
shitebag – 1
shitehawk – 1
twats – 3
wank – 1
wanky – 1
The rest is just pure fucking poetry. Not literally, of course. Poems are gay.
I see the cunts outnumber the pricks by 12.5 to one. That’s some fucking world yer living in 20….
I would have expected more cock too. Shitehawk is of course genius, been using it since I was a lad. Ah happy days, just me and ol shitehawk messing about with a football.
cecilia – made me giggle….
you left out cunt-bubble it is a favorite of mine feel free to use it in your book, what is a cunt bubble ,ie ;any T,D
any civil servant
any one from r,t,e
the ban garda who fined me €60 last week for {forgetting }cough ,to tax my car
Where does beaver stand ?
Only three twats in your life? Lucky, that.
cunt – 25
jesus – 34
Is this a religious book? Are you planning on an edition being published by Veritas?
What about D section, Donegal, Derry, Down!
Oh, I see you have alresdy covered it, under cunts!
What ?
Not 1 Ballbag, Poxbottle or Geebag
You can’t win the MAN BOOKER prize without them
You couldn’t even win a PULITZER
not even if you were a septic tank
Not one geebag.
You fucking heathen.
What Johnny5 said. Shit, now I feel so unclean.
And where is the cuntbutler? Is the library with a smoking gun? Get him would you.
I’m saving geebag for the epic finale.
Was thinking the same as Yacuncha as well, but then I see the fuck and fucking count is way higher. You don’t want to those religious people to replicate that much, do you?
Sweet Twenty,I’ll have 10 copies
Alliteration?
That Blank Chequebook Bollix Bertie
Well done Twenty I can see that you’re a real swear wordsmith -ah’ bum! That’s one you have omitted?
Pretty impressive list Twenty. It’ll be even more impressive when you finish the second paragraph.
Well that blows the idea of giving a copy to grannymar for her birthday – if she read it then she’d only end up cuffing you across the head at the next blog awards…
“Cecilia”…?
Is this a new addition to the cussword lexicon or are you talking about your ex?
Thats some good cursin right there Twenty..I bet that was just the dedication at the start of the book though…
Careful Mad Dog – the Ahern girls brng back terible meemories for Twenty – being thrown over by Georgina for Nicky Byrne was bad enough, but Cecilia pushed him right to the edge!
If you’re using geebag, I want royalties as I invented the word.
Frankly, I’m disappointed there are no piss-flaps, minge, gooch or shite-pipes in there somewhere. Nevermind, I’ll probably still flick through a copy at some stage.
Its sounding better and better each day.
Rice ??????
“I would have expected more cock too.” Oh reeeaally Manuel? The things you learn..
Johnny 5 and FMC are after my swearword heart with “geebag”. “Nob jockey” is also a favourite of mine.
got to have some nice compound curses, such as cocksmokingcuntbustinghorseflaps – always guaranteed to impress. if you’re looking for tips, there’s that toll trolls thing going round.
I was once visiting a friend and his sister answered th door… The two were obviously mid-argument over somehting or other…
As she opened the door she whas simultaneoulsy screaming at him in the next room “….and you watch your goddamn motherfucking language you bastard…”
She then turned to us and smiled sweetly and just said “Hi – come in…”
Maggot: Heh, thanks for the advice. I won’t mention the C word ever again on these pages.
Westlife is a no no as well Mad Dog.
Westlife?
Que? Dare I ask…?
Wait a minute, I’ve just Googled it/them. A wanky, heinously popular band from Sligo it seems. Living in Seattle means that, mercifully, I’ve been spared this drivel. Thank you, Maggot, for updating me on popular culture. Twenty, sorry but the discussion on this lot in now closed.
Twenty
Do you ever get “writers bl…………
Not very of
It would be good if you could export it to Excel, then you could make a nice pie chart or bar graph out of the data.
