SO DON'T ASK, but when I wake up, I occasionally get a word stuck in my head and muse on it for anywhere from the first half hour I'm awake to the rest of the day. Some words are good, and philosophical, and thought-provoking (like "Paragon" or "Monolith"), while others are funny ones like "clam". Others still, however, are nasty. The word I woke up with in my mind today (and I pray it's not a little shape of things to come) was discharge. Isn't that a fucking nasty word? Anything you put in front of it makes it gross or bad. Vaginal Discharge. Arterial Discharge. Rectal Discharge. Discharged from your job, motherfucker. See? The word "Discharge" is pretty much responsible for .0001% of the world's suffering and unpleasantness. So in conclusion, if we stop using it altogether, we'll have contributed to a better world.
One word at a time.
