Words, what a gem they are. I say 'dukie' (pronounced Doo-key) because I
find it crass to say the S-word or the C-word. 'Ka-ka' just sounds to
childish. :-)
I wonder why these middle easterners were so up tight speaking one name for
their omnimax deity. God is great, but we'll stone you for speaking his
name word out loud. I wonder, throughout history, how many human lives have
been taken for just speaking out loud the name of some deity. Boy, is that
a depressing thing to ponder.
