"C" is cussing

Professed religion didn't seem to affect the amount of cussing done by Jack (Pentecost) or Ennis (Methodist).

"D" is dirtier

The men's speech was much dirtier than the women's:  Alma says "Jack Nasty", and Lureen says "goddamn parka".

Ennis exuberantly expressed his excitement at seeing Jack after four years by saying: "Jack Fuckin' Twist."

"F" is fiasco

Story Ennis used the f-word only while he was in Alma's Thanksgiving kitchen - story Jack was constantly more expressive about how his life was a fiasco.

def - A complete or humiliating failure.

"G" is grunge

Jack was not hesitant to add some grunge to his speech in order to get his point across.

Post-Thanksgiving Ennis spoke to Alma like a heathen, dropping f-bombs all over her kitchen.

"I" is indecency

Jack and Ennis let indecency creep into their language to express their strong feelings - positive as well as negative emotions.

"L" is lowbred

Offended by the biker's lowbred remarks within earshot of his little girls, Ennis asked them to keep it down, only to be told, "Fuck you!"

After the biker told Ennis: "Fuck you!", Ennis mops up the floor with him.

"N" is nippily
« Reply #16179 on: January 08, 2008, 12:10:12 pm »
Ennis couldn't accept the end of summer just because the weather nippily dumped a bit of snow on the mountain:

Why, that snow barely stuck an hour. Huh? Besides,
that sonofabitch he is cutting us out of a whole
month's pay. It ain't right.
