Soylent Green's picture

My father was from South

Submitted by Soylent Green (not verified) on 14 March 2007 - 5:13pm.

My father was from South Carolina, and he used to use the expression, "a crock of shit". As with many of my father's expressions, it was never quite clear to me as a child why anyone would fill a crock with shit.

When I grew up I realized that, metaphorically, some people regularly do fill crocks with shit. It's a shame but it happens all too often.

Words to live by i'm bored with the oppression olympics (yawn) i'm serious. can we stop saying that i am more oppressed than you? because there will always be someone else who experiences different forms of oppression at different levels. — Kortney Ryan Ziegler, blackacademic Subscribe Buttons
