Hey, Spaw...it's "fuck" that is the euphemism. It's used in place of countless other common, more appropriate and more specific words. I know people for whom "fuck" comprises at least 30% of their usable vocabulary...mind you, I usually don't know them too intimately....

There are at least 75 common usages for "fuck" in this town, and this is only Orillia, Ontario, Canada (lest you all forget...). Every brick wall in this town has "fuck off" or "fuck you" written on it by some local lamebrain @$$hole with too much time on his hands.

As to the original 4 questions...dyslexia may be hard to spell, but so are solipsism and dilettanteism, and I don't hear anyone bitching about that...fuck is very easy to spell, which is probably why it's so popular with the local losers hereabouts.

Abbreviation is such a long word...because it is made up of 12 letters. Unlike duh, which has only 3.

There is another word for thesaurus...it's "monokletaciousincompendiumatipede"...now you know why they use thesaurus instead!

Kamikaze pilots wore helmets, and other normal gear because all that stuff assists one in flying the plane under combat conditions...for instance, there may be some fire, shrapnel or small explosions in the cockpit, while the plane still remains flyable...the helmet and goggles will considerably assist the pilot in maintaining his normal vision and other sense under those conditions, thus allowing him to hopefully continue flying the plane long enough to dive accurately into his chosen target.

Or as George Bush, Sr. would say..."Gotcha!"
