“Waitress, this Super Coronary Breakfast Special is supposed to come with five sausages, but I only see four here…”
Oh, I understand it plenty. But I don’t get it, at least for people who are past the fourth grade.
And if it were strictly religious, the good old Anglo-Saxonisms like “fuck” and “shit” would be fine.
It’s the whole “eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” thing.
If we lived as they did in Bible times, we’d all live naked in the desert, wear long dreadlocks, and eat locusts and honey.
Sounds a lot more fun than all this anglicized crap, but that’s not saying much.
I read the theory somewhere that whatever is repressed in a culture is what bubbles up as swear words. It sounds plausible. Quebec, where the Catholic Church controlled absolutely everything for centuries, has raised blasphemy to an art form: “mon crisse de char est brisé, tabarnak de câlisse” (literally: “My Christ of (a) car is broken, tabernacle of (the) chalice”).
English swearing, on the other hand, concentrates on sex and excretion, although blasphemy was popular in the past (zounds!, gadzooks!)
This thieving douchebag of a Drumpf took a piss on my radiator!
That’s just spelled wrong. It’s the lesser known movie Pet Seminary where they learn if all dogs do go to heaven.
We went to a restaurant with some friends tonight. I got a cheeseburger that came with a slice of Canadian bacon, a surprise since I hadn’t ordered it. So I peeled off the cheese and set the bacon aside, to take home for lunch. With dinner done, my wife asked for a box, since she had eaten only half her meal. The waiter looked around questioningly so I said, “I’ll put my bacon in my wife’s box.”
I’m glad you’re secure enough to be comfortable with your wife bringing home the bacon.
Good thing it wasn’t a hot dog.
Because that would have been a rather strange-looking cheeseburger
Oh definitely; I am a kept man at this point. Actually I forgot to add that my wife said her box was full, so in the end I asked the waiter to procure me another.
I’m trying to imagine how that would work and failing utterly.
ETA: a bagel instead of a roll?
But they’ve got a cool shape. And they’ve got protein!
Too goddamn true:
That’s why they stick to my shirt.
Babies stick to your shirt?
Well, with enough force from the t-shirt cannon, I think so. /s
That’s paint? Sure looks like a rash to me. Or worse.
