I guess spending ALL day long posting on ET and threatening people is your way of showing how "tough" you are . . . I've always thought that people who talk "tough" on the Internet find comfort in the anonymity that protects them from the consequences of their loud mouths. Must be safe to yammer away and make threats while safely sitting behind your monitor. Such a "big" man.
I guess it may be pit/exchange dependant then, when I traded in the copper pit, it was used a little bit. In the natty pit however, it was pure vocab to use it in every sentence. I have never been around so much profanity as was in natty pit. Took me awhile to adjust back after I came to houston. We use it in our office daily, I suppose it is a form of stress relief.
