Resort? That's a weird way to put it. I don't even think about swearing. Sometimes "fuck" is just the perfect word for the job. Hell, pretty often it is, because the word "fuck" is so versatile. Nothing beats the literal poetry of a well placed word, and face it man sometimes that word is "fuck". Fuck fuck fuck
