The ‘F’ Word
by Victoria Jackson
Rahm Emanuel. (I’m shaking my head slowly). It’s not his real name you know. “Emmanuel” means “God with us” and that is not his real name. It’s Auerbach. Look it up. And…Rahm means “high” or “lofty.” Mark Levin calls him “the creepy ballerina.” I think he looks like the devil. I’m just saying. He talks like the devil. I’m sure you heard that he called the Democrats “F—ing retards.” Everyone got mad at the Retard word and no one got mad at the “F” word. My dad said that people only make fun of the reproductive and excretory systems of the human body and no one should because God made the human body and it is a masterpiece.
What is it with all these people throwing the “F” word around like a basketball?
I never heard the word until I was about 23 and entering show business. Show business people say it all the time. It’s vulgar and stupid. It’s what kids on the playground say to prove they are tough because they are really insecure. My brother said it comes from the German word “fricktin” – to plow.
My daughter when she was 8 asked me if she was allowed to say F-A-R-T. I said, “Absolutely not. Even if we weren’t Christians, it is not lady like. Besides, when do you ever need to say it? When someone does one you are supposed to pretend you didn’t smell or hear it. That’s polite.”
“Pleasssse Mommy,” she pleaded. “Everybody says it. Even my teachers.”
“Well, we don’t say it. We say Putt Putt. Aubbie is a nut. She has a rubber butt. And every time she turns around it goes putt putt. My Mom taught me that.”
“What?! Everyone would make fun of me if I said that.”
“Why do you have to be like everyone? Why don’t you be a trendsetter? Call it a razzamatazz. I bet everyone will copy you. But, wait, when do you have to say this?”
“Jasmine talks about it all the time.”
“Oh. Jasmine who stole your lunch money and talks about sex?”
“Can I say Fert?”
I finally said, “Honey, if you start with the bad words, like F-A-R-T, it leads to F-U-C-K and that leads to cigarettes, and that leads to alcohol, and that leads to pot, then coke, and then heroin.”
“Mommy, you think if I say Fert, I will become a heroin addict.”
“Yep…or worse, Rahm Emanuel. Good Night!”

Ha ha ha!!!
Loved it!
I think I'm the only person at my leadership team at work that doesn't use profanity in our 'closed meetings'. Sometimes I will just stare at people when they open their potty mouths, but they just don't get it. So sad, I think we are so de-sensitized to the words, that people just don't care anymore. I like to challenge those around me to increase their vocabulary and learn some new descriptive/non-offending words.
Thanks for bringing Classy back Victoria. God Bless!!
Incorporating profanity or other once vulgar words into everyday speech and resorting to them immediately in moments of pressure or concern is the sign of a small mind and an even smaller sense of morality.
Victoria, this article is as loony as you are — But I agree with you!
I've taken John Nolte to task for allowing profanity so regularly on Big Hollywood, making it often indistinguishable from entertainment sites from the left. The site claims it wants to redeem the culture, but it won't happen if we don't see how coarse the left has moved us all, how snarky, negative, and mean-spirited even those on the right have become.
We should strive to be different or else what's the point?
Cute post.
BTW, that picture of Rahm is going to give me nightmares!
**shudders**
Nice f-ing picture
I have to voice my agreement with you. In general, obscenity or profanity should never be used in a professional setting. It shows a lack of vocabulary and rhetorical skills. Big Hollywood (and the other "Big" sites) should not allow themselves to be debased in this way.
I love this gurl! Just keeping it real. Anyone that has to use the "F" bomb has no vocabulary sense! And the pic of Rahm, yes Lady, shudder! And where is his middle finger? And what is it with this finger throwing!
Guilty AS CHARGED!
Sorry Victoria. I'll work on it.
Sometimes you run out of clean hyperbole and the steam is still coiled up. I'll wash my mouth out tonight. You rock.
"Rahm Emanuel. (I’m shaking my head slowly). It’s not his real name you know. “Emmanuel” means “God with us” and that is not his real name. It’s Auerbach. Look it up"
I did look it up. His family changed their surname from Auerback to Emanuel 20 years before he was born. How is the name he was born with "not his real name"?
The evolution of language is interesting. While people do overuse the F-word in their everyday speak there is one word that 97% of the people won't use. There still older people that can't get over using it. Can you guess what that word is that used to be used frequently? Not too many foulmouthed people today utter the N-word too often if at all, do they?
Having read Victoriea's profile, I will quote the bible and refer to the tongue which is an unruly member of the body. Rahm has no self control of his mouth and tongue.
What his tongue speaks is from his heart.
Look at that finger that was hacked-off on Emanuel's right hand. It's just a theory of mine how that happened. We're all told it was a deli accident with a slicer. Sure, and it's probably the truth, but he's also a hot head. He lived in Israel and my guess is that if someone flips off the wrong Israeli mobster your offending finger is coming off, just a thought.
I work for a large, multi-national corporation (which means it doesn't 0.0000000001% of the impact on the lives of Americans the federal government has – read responsibility and consequences), and if I or any one else spoke like that at a meeting, even behind closed doors, one door would open very quickly – the one they'd toss me out on my put-put.
Agreed also. There are times when it may be appropriate to curse (some people are so bad there really aren't other terms that properly describe them), but over all, if I can't take my kid to a place, I don't go.
I had enough of that in high school.
Imagine what his wife must go through.
How'd you like to wake up in the morning to that?
F-ing good one!
Sorry, but the N-word has only fallen into disuse by the white community. The black community and does still use it with regularity.
Sh*t eating rectal wart?
I'm with those who think using profanity often shows a lack of creativity, vocabulary and intelligence. Somehow many of us manage to get our point across without having to resort to using four letter words for either meaning or shock value.
I think he just gets off on his bad boy image.
Which always kind of makes me wonder about politics and politicians. How can people who sit around all day talking and voting be so attached to the metaphor of fighting? The last thing any of these people would do is actually fight.
A friend of mine is from New Jersey…..he uses the F word so much he doesnt even know he's saying it. We go out to dinner and after awhile people in the room are glancing over at our table. But he has gotten a litle better
He is a plant manager for a large co. in the midwest, Mon. morning meetings must be interesting.
My sister cut off part of her finger in an accident with a deli slicer decades ago. And all she lost was the tip of her thumb. I have a home version of a deli slicer too (bought it for my wife for Christmas last year, and she just loves it).
You may be on to something, because picturing a deli slicer, I don't see how its possible to cut off a finger all the way to the second knuckle on one. Deli slicers are used to thinly slice? How on earth does one get a finger into them far enough to cut that much off?
Very Funny post, but you should have some sort of warning before that picture loads. My first thought when I saw it was WTF!
it makes you think, of the past. watching any movie prior to 1960, they have no bleeps, no dubs, no need to edit for tv, other than time. when howard stern said he needed to move off the free airwaves, only so he could swear. if he needs to swear to keep fans, they must not be good fans, or he must not have much of a show. granted, w bush, and his sidekick did that funny open mic in naperville il. as well as words muttered by the same sidekick privately to a senator. but those were exceptions, with the ballerina, he must go visit howard stern, he would fit right in, good thing i never listened to him, more of a rush fan.
Probably a Chicago Machine "Lesson!"
I curse but not nearly as much as my peers. And while I believe there's a time and a place for it, I won't do it in mixed company or in front of a woman (unless she curses first).
I have friends who say the F-word ever other second, and I have others who won't even say, "Damn." I'm somewhere in the middle.
darn i didnt get here early enough to post in top 10!!! i guess i'll have to check Big Hollywood every 3 minutes now! awesome.
Can anyone deny that the first thought you have when someone touches off the f-bomb is NOT, "Gee whiz this guy is really smart".
I thought finger removal was a Yakuza thing?
That is exactly what I was wondering. His story seems unlikely, but that's not to say if couldn't have happened. Only Moshe knows for sure…
The Creepy Ballerina looks like that rat-faced Joseph Goebbels to me. He was an adviser too. To some Socialist whose name escapes me but he was a good speaker and believed that big government was the answer to all things. What was his name? He had a problem with his right arm….Oh well.
And I thought I was the only one more offended by him say the f-word! However that's our culture and the Libs for ya. Flipping out over the word retarded (Which I don't find offensive), but the f-word? Big deal.
Potty mouth alert!
I think Rahm would be windmilling like a little girl.
On the other hand, if Emanuel takes a fancy to dig into his family's deep, dark past, which name will he research, his family's new surname Emanuel or the "real" one, Auerback?
The home slicer we have is so safe its impossible to cut your self on it. It's got a couple of idiot buttons (my term, buttons you have to press and hold down, and that are purposely spaced so far apart, that there's no way to run it and have you fingers anywhere near the blade).
The only way I could think of is if he was screwing around on the back side of the blade. But I can'even imagine how that would happen.
Oops, Auerbach, that is
This administration will change profanity forever. It's just one big pain in the Holebamma.
Such a mouth on that former ballerina.
Such a mouth on that former ballerina.
EdSki, I'm with you. Not sure where Elle works, but in my workplace – as in most, I would add – the gutter language that was apparently epidemic in the Clinton White House, and is also the norm in the Obama White House (funny, wasn't Rahm Emanuel in both???) would get you reprimanded the first time, and out on your butt the second. NEVER appropriate. That said, I am aware that in private discourse sometimes the language gets a bit saltier, but never in a staff meeting or a leadership meeting.
I'm also told that this language would not have been acceptable in the Bush White House. The Bushes had more respect for the office of the Presidency than any Dems in recent memory have shown.
Exactly! You can change your name, but not your history. Emanuel………God with us…..or in the case of the lofty one Rahm…..God's not home.
No, the "C" word is the worst word you can say….ask any woman
I've heard people talking about how much f*ing snow we have here. Okay, if 30 inches is a lot of f*ing snow, then how do you describe what is in Maryland. What word do you use. And the temperature, boy it is f*ing cold. Good grief, it's in the 20's. What verb do you use if it is in the teens, or lower. Face it, it is a useless word that only limited vocabulary under achievers use.
I've heard that too, I've also heard the Bush's got a long much better with the White House Staff and the Secret Service too. I've heard the Bush's really seemed to appreciate that they were there to take care of and protect the President and his family. And it showed in the respect they showed the staff and security.
Now I don't care what anyone's opinion of Bush and his policies are, that is just nice people. I know if some one were tailing me for eight years, willing to take a bullet, I'd be grateful as all get out too.
I also heard it was quite the opposite during the Clinton years. So it would be hard not to be an improvement. Madeline Albright is a noted exception. I saw some program on TV years ago, an interview with a retired top security detail official, and he said Albright was absolutely great with security details, always getting to know and thank each individual personally.

Using profanity just gives people a reason not to listen to your arguments.
OOOOHHHHH.
**shudders**
Stop scaring me! Halloween is months away!
LOL!
I thought I heard that Hillary told a SS agent to not talk to her after he said "Good morning."
WTH!
I've also heard the nicest things about the Bush family in the White House. One may disagree with his policies, but he was just a nice guy. And funny, too. I don't see Obama having a great sense of humor. Maybe he does, but he doesn't come across. He comes across like a real AH. Snotty, full of himself.
Oh Victoria, she is so cute and so funny! I miss seeing her on television. Rahm IS one scary dude! I remember Obama making a joke about him using the f-word accompanied by "mother". Obama got some chuckles and seemed to think it was cute. I can hear their conversations, especially when referring to Republicans, Conservatives and the unenlightened masses. Rahm is an angry man and uses profanity to express his frustration at his lack of control.
In the defense of big hollywood I will say that I am a liberal who comes here often because while most people will shout you down if you aren't agreeing with them in rabid fashion (just like you find on liberal sites), there are ocassionally people such as yourself who are interested in reasoned debate.
One such example is that since coming to the "big sites" I've revised my opinion on climate change to not be a blind follower but more agnostic to doubtful. As you know thats usually a BIG sticking point for all liberals.
But yes, but when anyone on either side cheapens the conversation they just do a disservice to those they represent.
Agreed. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat people they need things from as opposed to the way they treat people they don't need things from (staff are replaceable).
Why bring Chavez into this???
I thought the "R" word was the worst thing you could say. Ask any Democrat.
Just kiddin'
Sorry, that's a fable (and not a knightly fable). Simply not true.
In late honor of president's day, let's see what our first president had to say:
“The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little known in an American army, is growing into fashion; he hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavour to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impiety and folly; added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.” (Orderly Book, 3 August 1776)
Amen! What more can I say? Despite what Hollywierd says, Big or otherwise, not everyone appreciates or even uses that language. Some of us are offended and feel such language is a sign of what is wrong with today. Please leave such language to a minimum if at all.
No! …….. you dint say that Victoria…. L-O-V-E
When I was a young soldier I was privileged to serve under a Platoon Sergeant (allegedly he spent 10 years in RVN) who stated that resorting to profanity was the sign of a weakmind. The first time I heard him curse the entire company instinctively snapped to attention, all of us knowing that the gates of Hades were about to open. That set him off again, because had issued no such order. I knew him for more than 20 years, and those were the only times I heard him curse. Vaya con Adios, Joe.
I think it's makeup he's wearing. You know, to scare the kids and hide the fact that he's a weasal.
Why not? It fits him!
Bolt cutters, AKA the "master Key".
LOL- hey, give a fellow a spew alert, m'kay?
Like so many Progressive glitterati, Rahm looks like a refugee from a Chester Gould "Dick Tracy" line-up.
"Bagsy"? "Ferret Face"?
He kinda strikes me as a racoon.
Did you know that o bama s name is really No Lie Nobama? Look it up….
Thank you Victoria! Finally someone else who think Rahmbo looks like the devil. I have NEVER seen a picture of him that didn't creep me out. He always looks to me like satan himself.
Rahm Emanuel is just another leftist punk. He will be gone after the mid-term sweep. What we need to do is prosecute his butt for breaking the constitution which he is suppose to defend. The man is a traitor throw his butt in jail for life on alcatraz
He could play the evil CEO in any current Hollywood offering without makeup or wardrobe change. He has an cold institutional air about him, like he doesn't care much which way he hurts you.
Does the F word bother you? Just move to Jersey. You'll get desensitized in no time. In fact, once you start using it, you'll probably forget half the modifiers you know! "Extremely"? "Ridiculously"? "Intolerably"? Why waste brain power remembering all those syllables when one simple gerund will do? "That's f*cking retarded!" Yes, it is.
Since attending my *very* liberal college, I noticed a decline in my language, notably the inclusion of that word on a regular basis. However, my language is always near impeccable when I return home (younger brother that I'm trying to protect). Last visit, my mother, who has no clue how much of a potty mouth I'd developed, mentions how crass it is that women use such language and let men get away with using such language in our presence. Since then 'frick', and 'fudge nuggets' (darn cartoons) have regularly replaced that word. I'm on my way to acting like a real lady again.
A lot of "bad boys" in fiction and real life will still be respectful in front of women and children. He just gets off acting like an a**.
To paraphrase Dennis Miller, "Rahm Emanuel looks like a puppet that was mistakenly washed in hot water."
Big Hollywood should really stop publishing the nonsense that Victoria comes up with. I understand the sentiment – that swearing is bad – but the rest of the article is near incoherent. Besides not coming up with any good reason that saying the "F" word is bad beyond her own belief these people are insecure, the little bit about how saying "fart" leads to one becoming a heroin addict is ridiculous. If it's a joke, it's a poor one. If she's serious, it's even less intelligent than the Roman Polanski defenses (although less damaging in the long run).
This type of article just hurts Big Hollywood and the right in the long run.
First, looking at that pic of Rahm-bo, I envision the spawn of the Alien erupting from between the buttons of his shirt. Secondly, if you look closely at the right hand, the middle (social finger if you would) appears to be folded under. Draw your own conclusions, but I see a reverse greeting of the worse magnitude from the Chief of Staff for POTUS. Thirdly, with the way Victoria spoke to her daughter about intestinal gas, I now realize that like the aforementioned gas, this administration really stinks but the odor shall pass eventually. Just open a window.
Way to go Victoria!
That pic of Rahmbo is freaky…I can't look at it anymore I will have nightmares.
Just to be clear, I was not advocating the use of the F word! Don't be like me! Remember other words! Save the English language!
If that f*cking little punk ever called me a "f*cking retard" I would kick his f*cking ass, knock the f*cking sh*t out of him, and skull f*ck his f*cking eyesocket while the little m*therf*cker screamed like the g*dd*mn b*tch *ss piece of sh*t that he is.
See, you can curse creatively if you really apply yourself.
What can you say, except…Queer looking….
Just found you on here Victoria and read every one of your articles and listened to your song ") All I have to say is, Thank You! Thank You for being so bold and saying what you believe! I feel like I have just made a best friend for life… every thought every word, YOU GET IT!!!!! I'm so inspired ") Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Please continue writing and I'll continue reposting to Facebook, Twitter and Email. That letter to Glenn Beck? Can I just sign my name to it too? Joy Behar, oh I pray for the poor dear to find some humility….. Has SNL called to have you do the Obama song for them yet? I can only dream…..
Who took the photo of him, and why on earth would he allow it to be publicized? He really is a creepy as he looks. What a disgusting individual.
Which battle?
In that picture, is Rahm wearing…guyliner?
Fuck that shit.
Nah, I'm a woman, and I say the "F" word is still the worst. It's the "mother" of them all, he he.
OK Victoria where did you get that photo of Rahmbo..we now know what the Boogeyman looks like! ARGHH!
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
"WTH!"… Language…! Watch it, buster!
He has a wife? Seriously though. Doesn't he look like the offspring of the Munsters?
Uh, Rahm doesn't have a heart… or a soul for that matter.
But if you don't curse, you must be repressed! Repression is uncool and uptight. It couldn't possibly mean that you simply respect people, things and actions. You must believe this. You must believe this. You must believe this… Is it a religion? hmmm.
is he jewish? god bless his very apparently little soul…
Depends on what you are using it for. Remember… he is a Chicago politician-type. Perhaps he had it on "extra thick" while he was torturing some poor non-union worker for not giving a thumbs up to be a union shop? He just slipped and got himself instead.
I think he looks like somebody who is quite ill. In many ways.
I think he had just gotten out from seeing the new "Twilight" sequel and forgot to wipe the tears/mascara from his eyes. Either that, or perhaps his parents were the "Munsters".
WTF is "m-kay"?
Sick in the head, you mean?
I think he's trying to do the "Time Warp"
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!
With apologies to "Rocky Horror Picture Show" fans.
I find that I can eschew using profanity – the English language can be highly descriptive without it and I can assure you that the person in my gunsights will know exactly what I think of him/her.
