Viva America!

Last week I overheard a mid-thirtyish woman on her cell phone. She was clearly annoyed and started a quiet at first successive string of speech in a language that I found later to be Romanian. Her barrage of words and emotions gradually rose to a crescendo in a matter of scant seconds—when she topped off her statement with “Yeah mother Fucker!” in plain US of A English. As I got in my car and drove away I couldn't help thinking that her native tongue must not have had a Romanian equivalent to our English lingo. Nothing like a good ole American cuss' word aye?
