I frequently see curse words with the "short i" vowel sound "softened" by adding in the "short a" sound.
Just today I saw somebody use the term shiat while they were complaining about somebody using the word shit.
I hear biatch much more than the original these days.
Are there any other words like that that you've seen that I can't think of right now?
Is this just another example of modifying swear words so that we can say them without them being so harsh (flippin', effin', fetch, darn, gosh, fark, frell, shoot, etc.), or is there something else going on here?
