The visit to the therapist.....


When they were alphabetically going through swear words. - What was the big deal with Linda not being able to say the 'F' word? - and also she uses the term "Cock Off" quite alot, but does not mention this swear word either.

Well it's certainly open to interpretation, but my understanding was that she was teasing the therapist, knowing full well what the word was, but wanting to make the therapist snap and say it himself. It's part of Lynda's habitual and instinctual power trip over adults, and men in particular. She already knows that her budding sexuality and shocking lewdness can befuddle and manipulate men, even if she doesn't quite yet understand how to make that work in her favor.
