Don't Be So Touchy

This episode, Ange and Margie get a little...sensitive. Should we use euphemisms to describe taboo topics that make us squirm? Or does that just give words too much power? Ange and Margie get potty mouthed and uncomfortable (in a good way). Warning: a bit of language you wouldn't use in front of Grandma this episode.
