  1. They write about the Middle Ages, about archaism, with these soothsayers, sorcerers and wizards. And they justify this by the desire to protect themselves from all those around them - "dangerous" for the functionary and his scope of power, by hiring "disinterested", "not a competitor", "someone who helps"...

    Пишуть про середньовіччя, про архаїку, з цими віщунами, мольфарами, чарівниками і чаклунами. І виправдовують це бажанням захиститися від всіх оточуючих — "небезпечних" для функціонера і його обсягу влади, найнявши "незацікавленого", "не конкурента", "того, хто допомагає"...

  7. What kind of profanity is this?

    Regular readers will be familiar with Strong Language, a group blog about swearing that I co-founded with James Harbeck in 2014. If you’re interested in swearing as a linguistic or cultural phenomenon, I recommend bookmarking or subscribing to it.

    New posts by our excellent contributors are less frequent now, but that makes it easier to catch up if you haven’t visited before or feel like browsing the archives. The blog has over 400 posts: fascinating and colourful explorations of profanity for readers not averse to such material.

    I also contribute to Strong Language now and then, and this post on Sentence first introduces the last few that I wrote. What follows below is not very sweary – there’s one reference to a strong swear – but if this type of language freaks you out like it does Ned Flanders, or just plain doesn’t interest you, you may prefer to bail out here.

    From “Be-bop-a-Lisa” in Simpsons Comics no. 6 (1994). Script & pencils: Bill Morrison; Inks: Tim Bavington; Colours: Cindy Vance. Editor: Steve Vance

    I’m interested in how people refer to swearing: as bad language, explicit language, dirty language, adult language, and so on. The adjectives form an intriguing set. ‘Strong bad mature filthy language’ examines the patterns that emerge and explains why I proposed Strong Language as the name for the blog.

    The title of the present post, you may have twigged, alludes to Amy Winehouse and her song ‘Me & Mr Jones’, which contains a line I borrowed more directly for ‘What kind of “fuckery” is this?’. The post delves into that word’s meanings and use, originally literal but now usually (and variously) figurative.

    Also in a pop-cultural vein, John Boorman’s 1987 drama film Hope and Glory has a scene that depicts swearing as a rite of passage for a group of boys in London during World War II. My short post puts the scene in context and discusses its effects.

    Most recently, I wrote about a remarkably successful euphemism in ‘Another freaking f-word’. This use of freaking first appeared in 1928, as far as we know, so its centenary is just around the corner. In the post I look at why and where it has become so freaking popular.

  8. Tail end of an actual exchange with my partner.

    P: Vance lectured the US athletes after he got booed.

    M: Of course.

    P: They didn't boo you, you idiot - they're not stupid. The rest of the world did.

    M: Because you fucking deserved it.

    P: Ya, you deserved it.

    M: And stop wearing eyeliner!

    P: Ecch... Vance is creepy.

    M: I'm only surprised that he hasn't been publicly accused of diddling children yet.

    P: Yet. Vance isn't in the Epstein files, is he?

    M: His couch is.

    Chuck Schumer has finally intimated he may actually DO SOMETHING about the current political situation. Whether he actually does, and if so, whether he stands his ground or folds like cheap suit, is yet to be seen.

    I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so. Democratic party politicians have needed to DO THINGS, not write "stongly worded letters", for a long time now. Even Minnesota Governor Walz has been sending out sternly worded press releases and soundbites today - for jebus' sake, you're the governor. You don't say "Somebody should do something!". You get on with it, and you DO SOMETHING.

    A 2-post thread I did last April. It was already clear to me that the slide into fascism was complete; it wasn't something they could work to prevent at that point.

    I weep for the American experiment, and the good American people. The MAGAs, accurately described by Ken White as "shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture", can get fucked.

  18. @js I use #profanity in the console. #dino is pretty popular and actively supported.

  19. "For f–k’s sake: Study reveals which English-speaking countries use the f-word the most — and who has more fun doing so"

    Let me guess, it's the US that uses it the most.

    Yup.
