OK, I'm not sure this will best fit under "technique," but let's see how it goes.
I was a klutz on several occasions this weekend, including getting a lightly sprained ankle. On each klutzy occasion, I found myself yelling "sh*t!"
Obviously there were other options. But for some reason I kept falling back on that one.
Do you prefer to rely on a single all-purpose swear word, or do you mix it up?
