The '-es' is silent? son of a bitch

I cuss quite a bit, but curb it around most women and all children.

This saying is for people who won't back up their words with action. For people who will, the words can have the same power as an action.

I don't cuss much irl, so when I do people who know me pay attention. This is scary and cool.

Words can perform actions and rites. “I sentence you to ten years hard labor.” “You are under arrest.” “I pronounce you husband and wife.” “I renounce my claim.”

Words can commit someone to actions and rites. “I promise ...” “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, ...” “I volunteer ...”
