By this I meant "ghetto-style" cussing. Nothing more. I didn't realize that Elan imported their victims from elsewhere, so I couldn't make sense out of how what I thought were a bunch of kids from Maine could get so down-and-dirty. I see now that this was maybe a little short-sighted on my part. Other programs (like the one I was in) brought kids in from out of state, so maybe I could have considered this possibility. Shoot me. But I'm still curious as to how the "cussing therapy" thing got started in Elan...in other words, whose idea was it to begin with? Where did it originate?

frod..
elan thought it was good therapy to make us get our feelings off at each other to end hostility. Getting or feelings off consisted of swearing and screaming at each other during group time. or during a general meeting.  A general meeting was like one huge group against one individual.  You get general meetings for a variety of different reasons. ranging from goofing off, you know acting like a kid, to fukn a girl in the bathroom cause you got so much baby batter in you its popping out of your fukn eye balls.
but they felt it was a good way to handle our day to day problems.  Then their were haircuts, and had nothing to do with your hair. For small rule infractions a group of 4 would yell at you for whatever lil things another kid booked (narcd) you for. Lil things mainly. like not washing the dishes fast enough or rippin a fart during dinner.
The program was based aroung cussin each other out. dont know how it was supposed to help really, but at least i can ream some one a new asshole if i have too.

Froderik,
 The basic daily routine was different in a couple of ways and the lingo was different, but with a lot of synonyms.

 Instead of sitting in group 12 hours a day and going to host homes, they did just a couple of meetings a day and the rest of the time did responsibilities. Newcomers had the shit jobs, then there was kitchen, there were expediters who spied and snitched, I suppose it was a lot like being a 5th phaser.

  I've been learning some of the lingo. Some of it translates easily and directly to Straightling, some doesn't.

Contract = Cliquing (not "clicking", dman it!) Like, fer instance, looking the wrong way at someone, negative comments about the program.

Spread your action = No contact with the person you had a contract with (no newcomers talking to newcomers)

Shot down = Like a startover, but no pretense of having to do with time.

reentry = final phase (reentry into society)
House = Group
Haircut = Short confrontontation by small group in seperate room
House meeting = Confrontated in Group
Pull up = stood up
Bad rapping = saying verboten things
Guilt concept = having bad thoughts
book = chain of command
