Quite the powerful card to have, use it well.

You're giving simple words too much influence over your life. "****" has many different meanings depending on the context, only some of which would be considered vulgar.sageoftruth said:A vulgar word. The fewer of those I have to listen to on a daily basis, the better for me. Still, I must admit that even without that word, people in the US really are no less vulgar in the way some of them speak. Also, it somehow sounds less vulgar when said in the UK.
I had to read this 3 times before I realised the puns at play. Well played, ya ****.MiracleOfSound said:I **** remember Ireland oppressing anyone actually. We just weren't that kind of a cuntry.
Combining two words you can do in any language, sure, but it's not always "legal" in accordance to grammatical laws. It is in Swedish. Write dicknugget as one word in an english text editor and it'll complain. Write, say... nötjävel (nut-devil. It doesn't need to make sense) in a Swedish text editor and it won't. At least as long as it's properly programmed.blackrave said:Fuck this noise!
Notion that someone may "own" the word is idiotic.
Either it's ok to say by anyone, or it isn't... you cunts.
Hey, dicknugget, it isn't something unique to swedesJhonie said:Hehe, same here. I'm from Sweden, and the Swedish language has this beautiful and extremely handy trait that lets you combine almost any two words to form a new one. It opens up a whole new world of insults. Heck, we even have at least one song that is entierly compsed of one long string of insults. It's beautiful.Jandau said:I'm from the non-english part of the word, I can call you things that would make your ears bleed in languages you can't begin to comprehend!
Also, love the crayon-drawn Irish passport.
But not to anywhere near the level that **** apparently is in the US. Yes, you'll rarely hear spaz (or spastic) being used any more (if anything, it's more dated than controversial). However, I've never seen anyone reluctant to even type/say it, or use a euphemism like 's-word' or s***, the same can't be said for ****.Pyramid Head said:You have ****, but we have spaz. That one is pretty benign here but is pretty controversial in the land where people drink tea and never see the sun.
Interesting. This is news to me. I'm all ears.An Ceannaire said:You're giving simple words too much influence over your life.

I remember in Shawn of the Dead they had to change a line because they thought americans would get confused. In the scene with the zombie in the garden one of them says "Shes drunk!" instead of "Shes pissed!".Windknight said:this really needs English To American
Though I have noticed a certain English slang word for cigarette generally does not get used when something is intended for a wider audience as people are very much aware of its homophobic connotations in america.
Though it does give me a great anecdote about a friend of my mother getting herself in trouble on an american holiday by walking into a shop and asking for 20 (BLEEP)s. Luckily, her husband was american and cleared things up for her.
Yeah but Northern Ireland is a part of the Commonwealth (although that is a very strange and expansive definition since it means Indians, Australians and Canadians are all "British" too, which they aren't).Absimilliard said:And I'm just partly Irish...An Ceannaire said:That and the "British Isles" thing are the only two types of bait guaranteed to work with Irish people on the internet.Absimilliard said:I really like that so far, the only thing that have offended people in the comments is the notion that an Irishman is "British". And he's not. You ****.
And just to be clear, Webster defines "British" as "The people of Great Britain or the Commonwealth of Nations". (I.e. not someone from the British Isles, like the people of Ireland or Northern Ireland, the latter of which is in the UK (for the time being), not GB.)
He's just misunderstood.Darth_Payn said:Loki? A hero? Have you watched the same movies I did?Michael Dunkerton said:White Americans may not get to use "charged" swears, but we do get to use British swears without people thinking they are swears at all.

As a Canadian I can say that the study from a few years back which found that Canadians swear more then anyone else is true, which really conflicts with the stereotype we have of being nice, polite people.BreakfastMan said:You come from the land that gave us Trailer Park Boys.

Wait, so when Loki said "you mewling quim" he was really saying "you whiny ****". Oh my...Xsjadoblayde said:What is a "quim?"Michael Dunkerton said:Hence why Disney heroes Jack Sparrow and Loki get to say "bugger" and "quim". It doesn't count if the kiddies don't know what it means!

That's arguable, quim isn't particularly well used and hasn't developed the meanings that dick, ****, twat etc have when used as an insult, it is literally just a term for vagina. It isn't interchangeable with ****, at least in the British sense. That said, from what I can tell (I might be wrong) the American usage of the word **** is basically saying "you are nothing but a vagina, that is your only use", so I suppose referring to her as a quim lit. "vagina" could fit the US usage of the word.Shinkicker444 said:Wait, so when Loki said "you mewling quim" he was really saying "you whiny ****".
