Cursing is one of the few ways to express the extent of our emotions; it is a release from all the maligned ways life can disappoint us. Explicatives are used to assign blame to each other, God, and ourselves. I am interested in the idea of making an icon to the profane, an act which destroys sacredness, and in using it, we ourselves are never more exalted, only reduced.
