Words have enormous power.
If you’ve ever been in a court of law and watched an attorney argue his or her case then you know exactly what I mean.
But words also have huge social and reputational power.
Here are words to avoid like the plague if you want to be a classier person.
1) “F*ck”
Most of us have said the f-word at some point.
Maybe even several times.
There are situations where it can be delivered just right and when necessary.
But by and large, dropping f-bombs just isn’t classy.
It also betrays a notable lack of self-discipline and self-control, both of which mark you as rather low-class.
Do better.
I know I’m certainly f*cking trying to.
2) “Huh?”
If you didn’t understand or hear what somebody said, you have quite a few options.
Among the worst of your potential responses is “huh?”
This makes you sound like proof that humanity hasn’t evolved much past the early days of the cavemen.
I don’t know about you, but that’s not an image I’d like to cultivate (although beards are pretty cool, and cave women likely had a certain primal allure).
