I’m going to give away five copies of Blackbirds on Kindle.
This is open only to US residents because, well, I can’t gift copies outside the US.
It’s 12 noon EST right now.
You’ve got till 3PM EST to play ball.
Three hours.
Here’s how you win a copy:
Leave a comment below with your favorite piece of creative profanity. The standards will not apply — we’ve all heard “fuck” and “shit.” Let’s hear something new.
(Example: “cock-waffle.”)
Impress me with your vulgarity.
I’ll pick five winners this afternoon and boom, free Blackbirds e-book.
For the rest of you, Blackbirds remains $3.49 at Amazon and has popped into the Top 20 Urban Fantasy releases there (this, a year after its release!). Thanks, all.
Now get thee to a cursery!
EDIT!
We have our winners!
“Muggle-fuckers.” Wren Roberts (bonus points for her being named after a character in Mockingbird, which provides nice parity, here.)
“Pink-eyed jizz-whistler,” Cameron Clemons (so jaunty! so fun!)
“Festering pile of diseased feces covered in the aborted senate bills of a bygone era. ” – D. Moonfire (really, it’s the “aborted senate bills of a bygone era” that is most profane)
“Cock-kicking fuckpucker.” –Megan Hart (pure art!)
“Picklesniffing turdmonger.” – Hilary Monahan (vulgar while still utterable by a toddler!)
And a runner-up that will not win because I am a jerky-faced stickler-jerk for spelling, but just the same, I love it oh-so-very-much:
“The YouTube comments of a menstrating badger.” – John Gardner
Wren, Cameron, D. Moonfire, Megan, and Hilary —
Email me the email address where you want the e-book sent.

Best phrase I’ve heard/used “I don’t give a flying rat’s ass, you twitty-cunt crackwhore twatfuck.”
April 29, 2013 — 1:04 PM
Mel says:
My husband prefers the version using “ass rat” instead of “rat’s ass”. There something incredibly more vulgar in the idea of an ass rat added to that whole rant.

Mel says:
I will also say that our FAVORITE vulgarity ever heard in a television show was “sod the fuck off you cunting twat”. You can thank HBO and True Blood for that.

“Cuntstache” was a new one introduced to me/my vocabulary. I quite enjoy it, hehe.

Fuck a duck is the reigning favorite around our household. Though we’ve been obsessively watching Battlestar Galactica, frack just doesn’t carry the necessary venomous sound for the moments needed; fuck a duck vile, funny, satisfying.

J. W. Brigman (@jwbrigman) says:
Here are a few I made up years ago. (One has already come back to me in something I’ve read. It is my goal to hear one of them spoken in my proximity.)
Twat snot: Mucousy discharge from a vagina, obviously.
Clitsaurus: A particularly engorged clitoris.
Log Off: How a blogger says he has to go take a shit.

“What in the name of Davy Jones’ taint-juice” is one I use often. “Holy Mary and her 45 children” is another. “What in the name of Satan’s butthole” usually gets a laugh or two. For the not so PG minded (see, I teach, therefore, I must curse creatively), there’s “ass-hat,” “fuck-tard,” ass-fuck” (a Skook favorite) and fartknocker.

Gareth Skarka says:
Neologisms are fine and all, and folks really do enjoy a good compound creation (cockwaffle, turdstamp, etc.), but I find that when I really want to produce fine work in the medium, I go back to the old standbys of my 80s adolescence:
“Choad”, in particular, has a brutal ring to it.
(I already own Blackbirds, of course, so I’m not entering the giveawaypalooza. Just commenting.)

Son of a cunt-punching cockgobbler has been said in my apartment before (it usually goes along with videogames).
I’m personally a fan of flying fucknuggets.
Also, any swearword or phrase is enhanced by OF DOOM or adding doom as a descriptor, e.g. doom vagina or holy fucking shit-dicks of doom.

It’s subtle, yet evocative, and has an air of whimsy.

Emilie P. Bush says:
Douche-canoe. A friend of mine called someone a douche-canoe ages ago on a long car trip, which spawned a litany of vaginal / aquatic conveyance rants. Among my favorite: slit-sloop, taint Titanic, box barge, Giggi gondola, twat twain, and my all time favorite — cunt catamaran.

“Douchecanoe” is a particular favorite of mine. Also quite fond of “twatwaffle,” which has some lovely assonance.

This weekend a friend of mine introduced me to cuntmagnet. It immediately filled my mind with images of women flying through the air to stick to a giant magnet by their crotches. Evocative.

Christy says:
Sandy vagina will always be one of my favorites.
I also like to relate people and things to the bastard child of a back alley orgy consisting of prostitutes, Donald Trump, a few hobos and a donkey. Things that are not really that vulgar by themselves, but when put together make an insult that creates a nasty mental image.

Out of frustration, I’ve said, “I will skull fuck you in the ass”. It’s become a part of my vocabulary.
And Knuckleberry Thundertaint when describing a raving asshole.

Beau Hall says:
What the christbath? Opened and closed so quickly? Fuck wish I read this earlier. Because “skull fuck you in the ass” is maybe the greatest string of consonants and vowels in the history of audible communication.

My drill instructor used to say, “Shut your suck!!” which isn’t necessarily profanity, but for some reason, my wife hates it.

Steen says:
It’s too late for the contesting, but I had to share this: a few days ago my girlfriend and I were insulting one another and I called her a “flatulent twat”. Nothing new, maybe, but it really flows well, you know? Also she liked it so much she shut me up by kissing me, which I think is a good endorsement.
