The long-suffering maternal ancestress of the Bostonian Drunkard:

I want bacon! No, what I really want is for the snow to stop.
No, I want both! That thread about bacon killed me because I'm stuck here in a snowstorm and I don't have any damn bacon. I always get a craving for something I don't have in the house when I can't get out to get it. s h i t
Now, franksolich, an
aficiando of Amy Vanderbilt, Letitia Baldridge, and Emily Post, has a question about manners and etiquette.
Is that last word in the carpetbagging maternal ancestress's original post appropriate for a 62-year-old woman, ostensibly refined, a professional woman, a woman born and bred amongst Boston's finest, to use?

1. heh. I'm home from work today - they closed due to snow not snowing here anymore, but we got about 7 inches - which is rather a lot for this area. It happens at least every couple years, but...I get the feeling the state DOT isn't very well-equipped for such big storms.
So...I'm stuck at home without Dr. Pepper - I may send my wife out in the stuff to pick some up.
(note: she's talking about going out - I'm not forcing her to go...just in case someone thinks I'm that evil)

In case one doesn't know this, the carpetbagging maternal ancestress is city attorney for some small town in New Hampshire.

3. yum
I'm iced in but you just reminded me that I do have some bacon on hand..
Oh, I'm sure the carpetbagging maternal ancestress can just hop into the car and drive a fourth of a mile to the nearest supermarket; it's not like New Hampshire's a really big place, things scattered far apart. She could probably even stroll there in a couple of minutes.
It's not like New Hampshire's as vast as Texas or central Asia.

4. Damn! This is now driving me crazy!!!!!
Here we have a classic Freudian case of "misdirected anger," which proliferates among the primitives.
They don't want to be angry against what's really bothering them--in this case, the Bostonian Drunkard--and so they get angry at something else utterly unrelated.
