#profanity — Public Fediverse posts

My friends who speak Mexican/Border Spanish, help me out. I was reading the obituaries in the local paper and came across one for an old woman who had recently passed away. I read that every day she told her husband "Ay como chingas!" and I just about spit my coffee all over the paper. Is this a term of endearment or some sort of slang? Because, where I'm from (northern New Mexico) this is not something you'd put in granny's obituary. #Spanish #Español #profanity

It seems the time has come to migrate from #profanity to #poezio as my #xmpp #jabber client.

FInally I had the chance to read the documentation of poezio and I set it up

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"...

What if SpongeBob SquarePants were an adult animated comedy? In particular, what would the profanity consist of other than "barnacles" and "tartar sauce"? Vulgarities such as "dumb bass" and swears such as "oh ship!" and "my cod"? With language like that, you might as well adjust to getting called a blowhole.

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.

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.
