What Is Faux Scum?
Faux Scum

I had learned in playground banter that the definition of the word ‘scum’ was the product produced from the penis after extreme pleasure. At this time I only knew what it meant—I wasn’t manufacturing any of my own.

One day after a leisurely bath, my mother comes out of the bathroom and says, “What’s all the scum in the bath tub?”

I was mortified. She thinks I whacked off in the tub. I probably didn’t even know what whacked off meant. This was absolutely terrible. This was bad– gone bad. Maybe if it was true, it would at least be bad– gone good. Bad that she found it, but good that I made it.

After wanting to go hide and die, I realized she was referring to ‘soap scum’ not ‘boy scum’. Damn ivory soap.

    So I was stuck with my parents old ragged Samsung Galaxy S3. The next week we went to Colorado for a family vacation to Keystone Colorado. We went skiing for 6 hours straight and my whole family was tired. When we returned to the condo we ate lunch and the smell of hamburgers and frijoles was in the air. When we were about to leave I had to go to the restroom. “SPLASH!” it heard as my phone dropped in the toilet. I was thinking what will my parents reaction would be this time. My parents ended up madder at me this time but I promised if I got a new phone I would be more responsible.…

    Pane Baths, as described by Cuéllar on pages 15 and 16, are “one of the several spas in Mexico City popular among the middle class”. The mothers of three girls invited to the ball needed these baths because it was hydrotherapeutic and improved their health bit by bit. The girls came back wearing a towel to contain their damp, curly hair, which was always held in place by a blue ribbon. As quoted by Cuéllar on page 15, “They smelled like naiads and emanated the essence of algae; and the freshness of their skin announced the voluptuousness of their personal care.” Girls were fresh and clean from these baths. “Their epidermis had been cleansed of secretions, and their pores felt as though kissed by oxygenated air” (Cuéllar, page 16). Pane baths was the main key to proper personal hygiene and…

    James Park, as one of the first pieces of literature to use cunt in an irreverent manner. Throughout the poem the word “cunt” functions as a synecdochial extension to refer to the whole female human body. Two specific passages pair the word “cunt” with aversive stimuli that may have led to its future and widespread irreverent use among the verbal community (Hughes, 2006). In lines 113-114 (“When your lewd cunt came spewing home / Drenched with the seed of half the town”) the word “lewd” modifies “cunt” to indicate that the presence of a female and/or their genitalia is an aversive event. In addition, the word “spewing” indicates that the amount of semen secreting from the female genitalia is abnormal, and thereby suggests that the individual has engaged in numerous sexual encounters outside of the relationship between the speaker and the listener. Further, lines 118-119 (“With a vast meal of slime / Which your devouring cunt had drawn”) metaphorically extends the controlling variables of a cunt to those that would evoke an individual to interact frequently with repulsive substances. Together, these two passages paired the word “cunt” with aversive stimuli and may have altered the variables that control a reader’s use of the word “cunt”. As a result, the variables that control the use of the word “cunt” may be extended to situations where a) an individual is presenting the speaker with aversive stimulation – which may include accessing new information regarding broken parameters of a relationship – or b) an individual who has paired themselves as aversive – either by previously presenting aversive stimulation or being associated with aversive/repulsive stimuli (which differs from individual to individual) – is present within the speakers…

    It’s as if I took a trip to the Met without having to pay for a trip to New York. Our own little art show out on display for anyone who decides to indulge in a shower that day. Oh, but I can’t forget the best part of it all. It’s always a joy when the mini hair balls come together in a celebration of friendship to clog the drain, making it impossible for any suds to take a trip down the drain. I’m sorry but I don’t remember a car wash for my feet being a part of the amenities listed in my housing agreement.…

    I glance at it and see my wife’s picture on the screen. She never calls me at this time, so I immediately answer. I hear two different cries on the other side of the line. “I need you to take a deep breath and tell me what’s going on. Are you guys okay?” My heart sank to the pit of my stomach. “Maddy’s toe is falling off! I need you to meet me at the emergency room! We’re on our way there now!” my wife sobbed. “I need you to calm down. Is she okay? I’ll meet you guys there.” I responded. I hung up the phone. My girls needed me. My little girl is in pain and all I can hear was her crying out for me in the background. I grabbed my keys and ran out the door. I called another manager to come in on my way to the hospital, but I couldn’t wait for them to get there. I had to get to the hospital. The emotions were all over the place, but I had to stay positive for my girls. “Everything will be okay”, I whispered to myself as I entered the…

    My mom and I were running late. Not like it was anything new. We were supposed to be in Moulton no later than 5:30, and now it was closer to 6:00. We finally pulled into the apartment complex, where we were supposed to meet this guy, at a little after 6:00. After searching for this guy for a few minutes[->0] and a few phone calls, we assumed that we had missed him. "See Mom, you should have gotten off of work early," I said just as I saw the guy pull into the parking lot. "Hey are you ready to move into your apartment?" asked the guy.After a few minutes of struggling to get the furniture into the apartment, I figured it was the end of the adventure. A few weeks[->1] later, after getting home from work, my mom was telling me that I would never guess who had called her earlier in the day. Not being in a great mood, I just shrugged my shoulders as to suggest that I didn't really care. Then she asked me if I remembered the guy who we had met just a few days before. She told me that he had called to ask her if she wanted to go out one night that coming weekend.…
