I spelled out my one-to-one relationship yesterday, mapping most expletives
unto "I've done something wrong" (e.g. damn, sh*t, crap, etc.), and the
remaining few unto "that's great!" (e.g. my personal favorite, hot-damn),
what more could you want for an isomorphism?

You probably know this by now, but there was no attachment.
