I have a character who has decided they are going to use the word "Stupid" a lot. Like "Who leaves stupid lego bricks on the carpet." "Why won't the stupid car start." "Who left the stupid door open."
I decided to leave this in because it's their voice and it fits their character (young, impatient, outspoken) and I found stupid to be a lot less offensive than "f*ck" which is what a lot of real people use, and is heard in movies and books. I think people find that word funny, especially when over used, but I get a little tired of it. Stupid however does not sound so bad to me.
What's your opinion. Would it cloy you if they kept saying this every third sentence or so?
