  2. Could some #Eurovision-conoisseur tell, how come it wasn't ok for Miriana Conte to sing Kant (singing in Maltese), and there was some talk that it might not be ok for KAJ to sing Perkele (Devil, damn etc. in Finnish), and especially on #BBC it is forbidden to #swear, but UK is sending What The Hell Just Happened. And the #EBU nor BBC haven't said anything about Hell.

  4. I'm researching - Comment how you pronounce the word "fuck" and the country you learned to speak in.
    I want to make a map that shows how to tell someone's home country based on their pronunciation of #fuck

    #findom #cursing #swearwords #fuck

    I am from the northeast US, and I say "fahk." I might need to account for regional accents - the Midwest and South might say it differently
    I know 3 uk people & they say fuck, fuhk, and Fook bc they're different regions lol

  5. Someone (Vidar Holen going by the URL) has made a graph that lets you see the number of #swearWords in the #Linux #kernel source code over time.

    I am a little disappointed that there apparently has not been a single 'perkele' at any time.

  6. Mathematician Sophie Maclean used an algorithm to find out what the ultimate swear word should be. It came up with ‘fanny’.

  7. Is there a Correlation between the Use of Swearwords and Code Quality in Open Source Code?

  8. Unsurprisingly, this headline did not make it into the print edition. If you expand the acronym it scans perfectly. I apologize in advance for the earworm.

  9. I like #boosting good content, but if your toot has #swearwords in it, I'm just not going to boost it.

    I guess I may be considered old fashioned in this regard, but I think it's important to have proper and civil communication.

    I wish it was called "rude language" instead of "strong language", as if it's something desirable. It is not. If you have a strong opinion, it can and should be strong enough to stand on its own.

  11. @gmusser Jumalauta, helvetin perkele 🤬🤬🤬
    It seems that Finnish wasn’t included in the article 🤔

  12. "Not all sounds are equally suitable for profanity," say the authors of this new study of #swearwords in seven different languages. Expletives tend not to have sounds such as 'l', 'r', 'w', and 'y' (so-called approximants). The authors get extra points for giving examples from Huttese, Xenexian, and Caprican. link.springer.com/article/10.3 #linguistics
