From Sadira.
Balls.
I like the word cuz it's funny. It can sound uncomfortably evocative and squeamishly personal. I don't say it very often, maybe that's why I like it so much; it's unusual, it catches my attention so much more than the ubiquitous "fuck". "Balls" takes more time and energy to say, it somehow seems a larger word than "fuck", though you can say both through gritted teeth, which seems important.
