The Big Fat Leo DiCaprio Contest

In an effort to clean up our language, a friend of mine has started a contest, and he's asked for my help. He writes to me:


I am introducing a new phrase. Sometimes, we all need to improve our language. Obscenity is childish and immature and profanity is sinful and scandalous. So I am introducing a new, multi-purpose phrase: Big Fat Leo DiCaprio.

It rolls trippingly off the tongue and serves in both exlamatory situations (hanging your thumb with a hammer) as well as adjectival scenarios ("Ain't that one Big Fat Leo DiCaprio?").

If we are going to get this into the lexicon (thereby simultaneously ending all profanity and obscenity from the English language), we must work at it. Remember you can also use the anagram BFLD, which sounds really BFLD-ing dirty.

One last thing, as language is evolutionary, and this phrase is long, some may discover that for the short curse, they start saying, "Oh Leo" or just "Caprio" (which approximates "crap" pretty well). You can send these examples in as well, but they need to be organic changes, not just cause you are too lazy to cuss properly. We thank you for your Big Fat Leo DiCaprio support.

Post submissions in the comments and I'll make sure my friend sees them. I'll give credit where credit is due, of course.
