Periodic Table of Swearing

[Outwest]

Since we're posting pics of our dogs...

http://i.imgur.com/jWSI4.jpg

I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes. It was the thought of what inferred to me. Still laughing.

Best not look at this the either -

http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... 1861#p1861

I guess I'm easily amused this evening. The thought of what that represents makes me laugh so hard, brings me to tears. But it was an 11 hour day at the office. :lol:

[sacha]

And when they die (at 8, give or take a year or two) they will break your black, fucking heart in pieces.

Eight? I thought dogs were good for 14 or 15 years. What's wrong with Great Danes?

They are too big for their hearts (apparently), and they just give out early. Some can make it to 11 or even 12, but some only make 5 or 6. Smaller dogs generally live longer than larger ones, I'm told.

Danes are worth it though.

Posted before I read this, sorry.

The giant breeds have the shortest lifespans. When it comes to purebred dogs, often the smaller the breed, the longer the life, however, mutts tend to live longer than purebreds, so a mixed pup will often live longer (and be far healthier) than a much smaller purebred even with the same diet and lifestyle. Mutts are also far smarter than many purebreds.

Dogs are living longer because of the way they are cared for, what they eat, the amount of exercise they get, where they sleep, the veterinarian visits, a vast number of things to live for, the amount of love they are given... One dog year equaling seven human years is long out of date. Treating dogs like a beloved family member has been long overdue. Nothing in the world gives so much and asks so little.

I spend all day, every day (and every night too) with my hound... I am the fortunate one.


My favourite quote:


he is your friend, your partner, your defender.

you are his leader, his love, his life.

he will be yours 'til the last beat of his heart.

you owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Schleimgrube, Herr Wirkliche Horrorschau.
Eine kunterbunte Schleimgrube voller Mösen, Fotzen, Schwänzen... wie Herr Kant sagen würde.

Kant said that? Well, you live and learn. So, 'kunterbunt' means colourful. I like 'Schleimgrube' too. It's sounds good: "Ich bin ein*
Schliemgruben" as Kennedy never said.

*ein/einem/eines? I never was any good at German!

Shouldn't 'schrodinger's rapist' be in the center and already marked?

Only for men. We'd need a different one for women with "Chill Girl" in the center, already marked. Or "sister punisher".

The original term for me, please. Gender Traitor.

Hallo from across the Narrow Sea....

Hello and welcome to the pit, Frau Stark :)

As far as I can remember, we have English, Spanish, French and German speakers in the forum, the slymepit is a multinational hive of scum and villainy!

I've been using American Sign Language and haven't heard a thing back from anyone!

[sacha]

Hallo from across the Narrow Sea....

No need to be afraid. I'm not Ophelia nor Peezus and I'm not an assassin - yet. Just sneaking around to get a grip on Mykeru's well hidden dagger ;)

I choose this name just for the fun of it. Because every time since I discovered this hole BS that claims to be A+, I thought that I can't stand Sansa/Rebecca Watson ... and every professional victim like her.

In RL I'm just a middle-aged atheist woman from Germany. But I have a hard time writing in English, and I was quite happy to lurk. This thread is so long, I spend a lot of time reading, laughing and watching YouTube. But the "Cunt" demands it, so I try my best and come out of the closet. Happy to be here.

Some weeks ago I stumbled across this A+ Thing and tried to find out what was behind this "new third wave". I found a lot of mind boggling BS and than this hole Richard Carrier stuff...
That was the point of now return for me...
I would not call myself a skeptic as much as that my atheism comes from an anti-dogmatism, and this hole "If you are not with us, you are against as" stank so much... but non of the people that I liked before (I'm looking at you Matt D. and all the other AXPler) spoke out against it. I couldn't understand it ... and this was the time that I found a link to the Pit. I think it is nice here. Maybe I was born as a gender traitor, who knows.

Someone might think it is a bad move to invoke the old Godwin, but from my perspective I can't get around it. It's part of my history and I have to speak out against totalitarianism, where ever I find it. This hole "new speech" stuff is not only highly complicated for people like me, who struggle with the language. It is one sign of many that give me goosebumps and stomach ache.
Much more than an invitation to coffee ever could do...
I was never a feminist nor will I ever be. I tried to have an open mind about it, listened to some of the "godless bitches podcasts", but than came Atheism+. No, Thanks. Not any more. This hole Elevatorgate, T-Shirt whining, privilege checking is nothing for me.
I was a victim of bullying, I had my own encounters with sexism. I'm neither to young nor to blind to see harm, when harm is done.

But nothing that comes from this "Ladies" and there "White Knights" does anyone any good. If they really wanted to have a safe place, than they could make one, like the "Clergy Project" does it. But all they want is moaning and bitching, and crying. That's nothing for any women with a little bit of self-respect. And it is nothing for people with real problems, who could use help instead of self-produced troll-wars and endless threads about words. That's Bull-s/h/it.

Sorry but I need a dictionary to communicate. Call me dictionary-atheist all day long if you need, People of FfTB. I take it, and try as best as I can... Privilege works in many ways, you know?

I hope this words have cleaned up all suspicions against a little girl from Westeros and her much older name-thief from not so Westeros.

(And no, I don't know when the next season comes... but seriously, Winter is Coming.)

Welcome, and stop bloody apologising. Your English is just fine. If you have difficulty with something specific you want to covey, post it in German. I have quite a few people I can ask to translate, and there are at least a few here who speak and write both English and German that may be willing to clarify. This isn't a place where the US is the centre of the universe. Please do not refrain from commenting, simply because English is not your first language.

cheers

She has a way with words. But mostly, words have their way with her.

:lol:

Because I lusted after a certain hand-dyed yarn aus Deutschland, I was willing to engage in online melees in order to purchase multi-colored grab bags of skeins, labelled kunterbunt. The word amuses me, so I sometimes call my little dogs kunterbunts when we're out in the backyard. Stop pulling leaves off my basil plants, you kunterbunts!

No, I don't care if the neighbors think I'm a Crazy Dog Lady.

My neighbours actually refer to me as the crazy dog lady.

sasha could, but I think she'd be disappointed with me. So, sorry sasha, even though I'd like to be available, but that wouldn't work, sadly. Intellecutally it could be fun, but you'd be so fucking bored sexually.

It is a very, very small percentage of men who do not bore me sexually, and as a pessimist, I prepare for the worst, so I just might be pleasantly surprised.

Pro tip: Bring to mind a woman you are furious with, remember every little detail of what she said and did that made you angry and frustrated, and think of her, when fucking me.

Since we're posting pics of our dogs, here's one of my boys. Solid tan fella is the speckled fella's father, and a bitzer (rhodesian ridge back, dingo, kelpie, and a bit of mastif somewhere along the line...). Mother was a brittish staffie cross chow chow, who gave up on life a few years back when one of her female offspring decided to claim the mantle of queen from her.

He was able to do what he loved to do, before he was in too much pain to enjoy it. Life is about quality, not quantity. Dogs understand that. They have wisdom, humans simply do not possess.

Well, some dogs might have wisdom. My dog is as thick as pigshit. He sometimes barks at his arse when he farts.

hahaha! He only does it because it makes you laugh.

I have a two-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, three days a week since she was 8 weeks old. She is sweet, happy, gorgeous, gentle, gets along with everyone and every dog, and one of the dumbest dogs I have ever known. She's the adorable "developmentally disabled" little girl who smiles all the time, and wants to be everyone's friend. Nearly all of the male dogs are infatuated with her. She happily plays with all of them. She's a slut.

Sounds like you have quite a menagerie …. Sounds like a real hand-full, although an entertaining one …. :-)

[Steersman]

….
Paraphrasing Voltaire, "I may not (readily) agree with you taking the piss out of something (particulary if I'm the target), but I will defend to the death your right to do so." More or less in any case ….

How nice at you'll defend people's rights when convenient. Don't pull anything patting yourself on the back there. Stretch and warm up first.

I’ll do so sometimes even when it’s not convenient or not popular – or when it’s likely to lead to banning or being put on ignore …. But maybe that was a little too much self-aggrandizement for you or maybe you’re just overly sensitive. Somewhat odd since you’ve been known to “give a hobo a dollar” – or five - and have, apparently, financially contributed to Greta Christina’s well-being – and have taken some credit – and flack – for it.

But I don’t see anything wrong there – I expect we all make similar sacrifices and probably take some credit for it. Only problematic when the tail – or tale (e.g., RW) – starts to wag the dog but which hardly seems applicable in either of those cases.

[Steersman]

Steers, oh my Steers:

As if to say that maybe I’m flogging a dead horse? :-)

I haven't heard from you about my answer to your query WRT "nigger" vs "cunt". http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... ger#p23965

This isn't baiting or anything, I'd just like to have your opinion on my train of thought. Checking myself, sort of...

No problemo – unlike most of AtheismPlus and, surprisingly, franc (politics & strange bedfellows …) I don’t have a problem with people asking questions …. ;-)

But I think your anecdote about some of your white friends calling one of their black friends a nigger illustrates and supports my argument that such words – along with “cunt”, “prick”, and the like – don’t necessarily apply to an entire group: if “cunt” isn’t sexist then, analogously, “nigger” isn’t racist, although both can be rude and insulting, of course. And it also illustrates Lenny Bruce’s argument that “… it’s the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness.” And maybe that latter point is part of franc’s (and the Pit’s) fifth-column, guerilla-warfare, clandestine objective, at least with regard to “cunt” ….

However, I’m most curious about the mechanism or process by which many people seem to reach the conclusion that either of those words – and similar ones – supposedly apply to entire groups. Particularly since the argument seems a little more tenuous for “nigger” and similar words, although that might be due to the suppression. But consider these definitions for the word:

noun
1. Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive .
a. a black person.
b. a member of any dark-skinned people.
2. Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive . a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.
3. a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.

Interestingly and in passing, I note that the article describes cases, similar to your anecdote, where there is “the sense [of] referring to a “black person”, [as] sometimes used among African-Americans, in a neutral or familiar way.” Much like “cunt” in this neck of the woods, at least sometimes.

But it is the last two definitions that seem suggestive of that conflation of the individual and group: each of them refer to “a person” by which there is no justification that I can see for implying that it refers to an entire group, no justification for arguing that any group – on average – is any more or less “contemptible, inferior, or ignorant; or economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised” than any other group. And certainly not due to any intrinsic “flaws”.

Hope that addresses your query or question, although I think it is, in general, a complicated question so I may not have ....
