Not as casual adjectives or verbage or intead of "and, the, um, it, to, etc" She is quite creative with her lingo, but "please and Thank you" are more prevalent in her dialogue than any scatological or reproductive inference. We appreciate good manners too, dammit.Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737996892045563243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-28830264964571950362008-05-02T14:39:00.000-07:002008-05-02T14:39:00.000-07:00Speaking of urban and not urbane indignities on th...Speaking of urban and not urbane indignities on the train, if certain interlocutors were bereft of a couple of interchangeable four-letter words as adjectives, nouns, and verbs, our public transport'd be a lot quieter. They'd have practically nothing left to say. No admirer of English lit or Irish culture can claim he's offended at swearing when done artfully, but the piss-poor levels to which it's sunk into these two words ad infinitum in the anglophonic (and from what I can suss out from the hispanophonic and celtophonic realms) does show the paucity of invective available to the boobosie. (Mencken's term which deserves resurrection into our demotic declamations.) <BR/><BR/>It's as if we have a nation of sniggering George Carlins all boasting their knowledge of the seven words you used to not be able to say on TV. Every other rap song's full of them. Half my students blather them in class and the other half still have at least enough decorum to only contemplate them.<BR/><BR/>I blame the decline of religion. You have fewer terms to swear and curse by these days in both our purportedly Christian U.S. of A. and post-Christian realms here and elsewhere. Excrement and copulation. by the way, should earn more options. I read that while there are 300 slangy synonyms for penis in English, there are only three for vagina. <BR/><BR/>On that note, I am your devoted mate. Although I blame you and your side of the family for our sons' potty mouths. xxx meJohn L. Murphy / "Fionnchú"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16616876266772470719noreply@blogger.com
