If you’re a regular reader you know that I’m way up to date on periodic tables.
Sometimes I’d say I’m right on the knife edge. Like when I was the second (or maybe third, I don’t remember exactly, but I was right there) person to break the news of a new element being added to the Periodic Table of Elements.
And the elements one is obviously a pretty good periodic table, and will always hold the title of ‘the original’.
But it is not a patch on the Periodic Table of Awesomements, which I reported on here in 2009.
That table even made its way into an improv show by Ottawa’s Crush Improv.
Now, my local neighborhood bookstore Pages of Hackney has turned me onto a new periodic table: The Periodic Table of Swearing. Credit to Modern Toss for putting that shit together.
All the fundamental building blocks of a good tirade or invective-torrent are there. But there are also some new favourites, such as Cock Garage (Cg), International Cunt Circus (Icc), and the remarkably restrained – considering it has an atomic number of 68 – Shut Your Bloody Noise (Sbn).
So get some bloody swear science into you, you Big Fucking Arse.
