dramatic title is very dramatic ;P

This is one of the first example where I'd love to have more freedom with the dialogue. "I'll fire your sorry little butt' is ok..."I'll fire your sorry little a$$" would've been better. Simply just because 'butt' can be an insult but also be neutral or even a cute word...  'A$$' however is not only an insult but could also be a sexually charged one. It would've been so much more believable of him threatening her that way and her reaction would've got more impact too, imo.

But I'm afraid having a a character, even if he's an antagonist, openly use vulgar language could've triggered a fair amount of readers :/

There’s also the hypothetical response of “Wait~!! You think my butt is *’Little’*~?!!” to take into consideration. 😹✨ Where the lines are drawn tend to “Culturally Shift” from time to time. ⏱💫 Odd example: When the soap opera “All My Children” was briefly rebooted online in 2013, one of the perks - if you could call it that - was that the characters were allowed to “Swear Like Sailors.” ⚓️✨ [ This didn’t go over all that well with the viewing demographic, so it was mostly dropped by the end of the run. ] 🙇‍♂️✨

More recently, the Disney/Freeform series, “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger,” has been dropping the occasional s-bomb as appropriate - which surprises me, but doesn’t particularly offend me. 👨‍💻💫

Cussing doesn't bother me but then I am a retired sailor. But you must, of course, consider your entire audience so it's better to play it safe.

Good to know. At least I would’ve not offended you in this case ;) But, yeah, some folks are rather sensitive and might even picketing at my place for that tiny, three lettered word...so I’d rather keep it clean here ^3^
