What's the more appropriate substitution for “give a f**k/d**n/s**t” @RegDwight: and English can get right squirrelly. A thousand internets to you, sir: your conduct is befitting of a well-oiled gentleman. |

Can a person be described as being “ill read”? Those cases appear to be plays on "ill-bred", which has fallen out of democratic favour. |

Is there a phrase for “the first thing I want to see in the morning as I wake up”? Word to the wise: "KKK" is a really, really, really poor choice of username. Really. |

What's the more appropriate substitution for “give a f**k/d**n/s**t” The "rather popular" articles you cite are all tongue-in-cheek uses, and the "listed in dictionaries" has no mention of "tail". The OP asked for "same form and meaning". Same form yes; same meaning, no. If a non-native speaker of English used the phrase on me, I would likely wonder if they meant to say something else. |

What's the more appropriate substitution for “give a f**k/d**n/s**t” It's also not idiomatic at all. You will likely confuse your audience. Pete Wilson's answer is more correct. |

Which noun should I use to describe that a computer system hangs? I've been a computer programmer for ten years, and I've never heard anyone use "hang" as a noun. Maybe as a joke: "This computer has a bit of the hang". Hey, thanks - I might use that! |

Which noun should I use to describe that a computer system hangs? "Hung" also refers to how well a man is endowed, people are "hanged, drawn and quartered". |

A single word for a psychological bias I don't know if anyone has suggested "confirmation bias", which is the answer. |
