: : : : Hey people help me with sentence, I think it's kinda of *my first day of work was great*, isn't?

: : : : Thank in advance

: : : : *my first day of work kicked ass*

: : : Kicked Ass = Really Amazing and Cool

: : To the English ear:

: : Kicked Ass = Really crude, unpleasant and unnecessary North American vulgarity.

: Don't blame Canada or Mexico. We'll shoulder the blame for this all by ourselves. Our MTV/teen/rootless culture wears vulgarity like a badge. The level of discourse has been lowered to where it, like, sucks, dude.

How about -- "I had a really special day."

Are things ever going to change back? I am thinking along the lines of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Elegant, civilized. No potty talk.
