Mind your language

the younger generation just love to mimic..music, dance moves, and most obvious slangs.

But my dearly beloved, may i caution you to at least look up the word first before using it. IF the word is vulgar.....It not only taint your image but also give the hearers a very bad impression of a Christian. A BAD TESTIMONY!

Take for example this word that is so often on the mouth of youngsters, using it to mean "nonsense' and another to imply "very"

The words "Cr*p" & "d*rn"

and the dictionary gives you:
