Re: USAGE: "I want crazy two years ago"

To true..

I say like Shucky Darn or "Oh Fudgbucket" or like..

Used to use German, until some Teacher at the Middle School
taught his students the German curse words. Darn. Ich missen
mein Shitzen spreche".. Can no long "Gefuchen sprecht" (sorry my
German is very degraded and almost non-existant).

I now use my on the fly conlang to say profane things. I started
do it alot bit back when I live in Nome Alaska and had people
giving me dirty talks in Siberian Yupik, or Yupik, or Inupiaq or
Russians or what ever. I would come back with gibberish that had
some consistancy..

I do wonder if I was not adopted and spoke a non-English native
american language before I was adopted or just never learned how
to speak well..  Or just love gibberish?
