Okay, probably not going to mean anything else after that little history
lesson. I can see it getting more common around here, and every where
else in the world(You know, I overheard a pastor using that kind of
language, golly gee wiz, what is this world coming to?). I would guess
that in 100 years little old ladies will be using that kind of language.


Oh, and one other thing, what's it like being double-doomed?

I know of one "little old lady" (group member's ganny) who already does.
Even more surprising to me was the fact that she's (supposedly) a devout
catholic and was about 2 steps away from becoming a nun earlier in her
life... Go figure.

the same word for a noun, verb, adjective and adverb - all in the same
sentence.)

<Snip old ladies that talk like sailors>

It still blows my mind when I have some sweet little old grandma come into
the store where I work trying to buy a TV and they say stuff like "Don't
sell me any of the F---in' Japanese S--t!" (As if there IS another choice
anyway!:-))

Language is constantly changing though, so we can probably expect these
words to be around forever, but new ones cropping up all the time.
Look at the gansta "culture" the language of this group is constantly
changing.
Even my 60 yr old dad knows what poppin' a cap is now!

Double Domed, not double Doomed.

Well. Considering that the litte girls of today (who already say Fuck) will
be the little old ladies of tomorrow, that's hardly a surprise, is it?

Considering that my sister is one of those little girls who just loves
that word to death, I can only agree with you there.
