Eight Out Of Twenty-Six

That comes to 30 percent. Of what you ask? Why the alphabet. The whole dust up about Michael Richards got me thinking about the alphabet and how some words are now synonymous with a letter. I've been called the A word, but since I'm a man, I'm rarely called the B word except in jest, and usually with a 'eooootch' after it. We stay away from the C word. The D word is a weak one, unless children are involved. The F word is the bad one, but it is far better to be caught on a camera phone uttering it at a comedy club than using the word after M. The L word wasn't really a taken letter until the Showtime special about L's. The N word. . well. . we're just going to move on here. That leaves the S word, which like the D word, isn't that big of a deal unless children are involved.
So, like a sports team that retires numbers, 8 of 26 letters have been taken by words. So, the challenge in my lifetime is to come up with words for the other 18, because we don't want them to feel neglected now, do we?
