Curse word pens, also known as swear word pens or profanity pens, are a type of writing instrument that includes offensive or vulgar language as part of its design. These pens typically have curse words or expletives written directly on the pen barrel or are engraved with offensive phrases or words. Curse word pens gained popularity in recent years, particularly among teenagers and young adults who find humor or rebellion in using foul language. These pens have become a way for people to express themselves in a controversial or edgy manner. Some people see curse word pens as a form of self-expression, while others find them offensive or inappropriate. In addition to being a writing tool, curse word pens can serve as a form of novelty item or a gag gift.

How To Succeed in Witchcraft (Paperback)
Shay Johnson has all the makings of a successful witch. As a junior at T.K. Anderson Magical Magnet School, she’s determined to win the Brockton Scholarship—her ticket into the university of her dreams. Her competition? Ana freaking Álvarez. The key to victory? Impressing Mr. B, drama teacher and head of the scholarship committee.
When Mr. B asks Shay to star in this year’s aggressively inclusive musical, she warily agrees, even though she’ll have to put up with Ana playing the other lead. But in rehearsals, Shay realizes Ana is . . . not the despicable witch she’d thought. Perhaps she could be a friend—or more. And Shay could use someone in her corner once she becomes the target of Mr. B’s unwanted attention. When Shay learns she’s not the first witch to experience his inappropriate behavior, she must decide if she’ll come forward. But how can she speak out when her future's on the line?

Reviews for "Curqe Word Pens: Igniting Your Passion for Writing"
1. Samantha - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Curse Word pens. Not only are the curse words offensive, but the quality of the pens is also terrible. The ink kept smudging and fading, making it impossible to use them for anything important. I wouldn't recommend these pens to anyone, unless you're looking for a cheap gag gift.
2. John - 2 stars
I bought the Curse Word pens thinking they would be a fun addition to my desk, but I was wrong. The curse words on the pens are poorly printed and barely readable. The ink also tends to leak, making a mess on my hands and the paper. Overall, I found these pens to be a waste of money and would not purchase them again.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I thought the concept of the Curse Word pens was interesting, but the execution fell short. The curse words on the pens are censored with asterisks, defeating the purpose of having curse words in the first place. Additionally, the pens themselves are not very comfortable to write with. They feel cheap and flimsy, making them difficult to control. I was hoping for a more fun and high-quality product, but I was left disappointed.
