I quite enjoyed this funny film short (I wonder how long before the link expires?). Via Maurin Quina Likes To Drink. Don’t watch it if swear words offend you.
UPDATE: I’ve updated the link to one that may last longer (and was also bigger on my screen). Thanks to Ananna for leaving the new URL in the comments..
@Dianne: I guess the silver lining with Italy is that it shows that even when fascists can capture the executive…
Bush the Yunger had the advantage of opponents who weren’t good public speakers. Definitely not as good as Clinton was.…
@Jacqueline: Bush the Younger was an awful public speaker too. We did not misunderestimate him. And yet he won. Trump…
Yeah, the '91 recession hurt Bush very badly. We were also in the 3rd consecutive term -and 5th out of…
Hungary has been full-on fascist for 10 years now. It doesn´t belong in a conversation about countries -going- fascist. It´s…
The actual film is located at: http://www.channel4.com/media/generic/swearing1.swf in case it ever goes away or anything.
Aw, shucks, just a little “View Source” here and a little “Copy” there and a little bit of “Paste”. I don’t “Preview” though, I like to live on the edge.
By the way, the Channel 4 site has some cool short films on it and you don’t have to register to watch them.
My favorite swear words:
Tabarnak (all-purpose swear word, equivalent to fuck — literally means Tabernacle)
Càlisse (literally – Chalice)
Ostie (or ‘sti) (literally – Host)
What can I say, those Quebecois fascinate me :p
I guess I’m a nerd, but I’m rather partial to “frell.”
You know, from Farscape that show that the frellin’ Sci-Fi Channel canned?
And I thought “feldercarp” from Battlestar Galactica was amusingly silly, and I’m not surprised Ronald Moore’s remake steered clear of it.
And then there’s the favourite of anyone living in Moncton, N.B. (which is the only east coast city I’ve heard it in, but I could be wrong:
“Shit-the-goddam!”
Useful in proclaiming disbelief, as in:
“So did you hear that John ran out on Sheila and their three month old son, to chase after a waitress, who’s only 16!”
“Shit-the-goddam, you can’t be serious!”
It has to be pronounced quite fast, so that all the words blend together :-)
yo fling, you’re not the only nerd… i’m rather partial to “smeg” (which i picked up off Red Dwarf, old UK scifi comedy show)
best line from that show:
“oh smeg! what the smeg’s the smegging smeg done now?”
oops… i just went to go show it to a friend & it seems to have disappeared off their website – i went through a couple of searches to no avail
if anyone happens upon it, please post the new URL… it was very funny & i’d love to show more folk
it’s a toss-up between “shit, piss, and corruption” and “phlegm, mucus, and pus”
Calice! So when the frell are people gonna learn that rather than just give url’s that are fast dissappearing, give the frellin’ NAME of the smeggin film and let me go look for it in some search progam, shit the goddam !
For some reason I read j’s comment in a Scottish accent.
I prefer to express frustration by shaking a fist at the sky and yelling “Curses!” I consider it a tribute to Jon Stewart’s style… “RuuuumsFELD!”
I prefer saying “Damn you cruel fate” as I shake my fist to the sky.
“oh smeg! what the smeg’s the smegging smeg done now?”
Actually Heard (by my sister) on a NY Subway:
“So I says to the fuck: ‘Fuck you, you fucking fuck.'”
“Fuck” is the greatest fucking word in the English fucking language. It’s the only inset in English (is that the correct linguistic term), so we have words like Un-fucking-believable, fan-fucking-tastic or fuck-fucking-ing.
Snugglebunnies
–per Bloom County
Can’t forget “Fuckity-fuck-FUCK!”
Had a friend that used to use “Crap on a crap cracker!”
Matt uses “Schietze” as his cover-all swear word.
oh yeh, almost forgot… here’s a good’un:
“heinous fuckery”
as in “that’s some heinous fuckery, dude, straight up!”
Raznor: I don’t know the correct linguistic term but I do know that “fan-fucking-tastic” is an example of tmesis.
My vote has to go to cunt, a much-maligned but useful word, and also the only curse word I can spell simply by covering up portions of my footie shirt.
