I was wondering if that was the response I was going go get, but I felt it was too winded at the time to explain it. The reason why explaining myself and telling the truth would make it awkward is because my friends, of which I don't have a ton of because I just keep REALLY close friends, and I have a closer relationship than most people and because of this, lots of things don't need to be said directly because both parties are already aware of what is going on. Like in the example I gave, I understand that my friends aren't perfect and that sometimes they can be jerks, and they realize this too, and my friends are smart enough to know when they've been jerks, just like me. So if my friend asks for a pop after he's been a jerk all day, and I say "Fuck no," that is essentially telling him "Hey, you've been a jerk all day, get your own damn pop." (using another explitive there). But since we are so close, none of this has an affect on our relationship. I have unconditional love for my friends and close family, as they do for me. So just because someone wasn't using their best judgement and acts like a jerk, that's not a reason to "sit down and have a talk." We just let it slip by. And that is what I feel is a perfect example of an explitive is. And that's a pretty interesting definition of expletive. I guess I never really knew what the definition was. Because in my example, the prescence of an expletive WAS the meaning, wheras the true definition of an expletive is that it has no meaning. I guess that might mean I don't use expletives at all!
