    What passes for obloquy in Canada is almost polite chatter here in the US. Canadians are so much better than us. Really.

    Any lummox can curse someone out. It takes real thought to produce an elegant obloquy.

    There's no need for obloquy, my dear. When I asked you to "do me," it was a compliment.

    I told my ex-wife's mother to stop the obloquy. She told me to go f*ck myself. I said, "No, I'd rather f*ck your daughter."
