I never think of this word in any sort of legitimacy or legal sense. To me, this particular relates relates to a certain behavioral disposition of a person or occurrence that is particularly annoying and/or aggravating. It's like the work "dick", but without the biological connotations. Plus, I find it more fun to say
For awhile, back when there was seemingly more time in the day, I was working on a project to transform some of our most common curse words into filet crochet pieces. This was a surprisingly meditative task that brought a smile to my face when times were a bit on the irritating side. One of my biggest of these projects, (mostly due to the amount of letters it has) was done with my favorite seven letter curse word.
With the current state of things today, it seems that this piece has taken on a more relevant life than when I first made it. The lettering and border harks back to my interest in Celtic knot work (you may recognize the border from an earlier posting). At the time that this runner was designed I was also reading a book on the Arts and Crafts movement, so some of those visualizations filtered into it's construction
I hope that you enjoy this runner and it brings a smile to your face.

Unfortunately,
for ease of reading, the pattern had to be broken up over several pages. The edges of each row and column are numbered
and the section of the pattern is labelled with a header. The sections are oriented as shown in the
following table. I would suggest,
depending on your tastes, working along an entire row as you go along. This will take you across a couple pattern
pieces as you finish each line. On the
final page you will find the pattern in its entirety, but very small to fit on
a single page.
