Re: Definitions of certain words
It would never see the light of day. Isn't it part of the "argumentum ad bingo fallacy" that just because a country (in this case England) coins a word (in this case Cunt) and it's myriad definitions (see above) it's inhabitants don't have the right to use that word because it says so on a bingo card?Dick Strawkins wrote:OK, who volunteers to post this list on Butterflies and Wheels?Tony Parsehole wrote:Definitions summary.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Though on reflection, a 'git' isn't any body part I'm aware of.
There's 'bellend', 'knob' and 'knobber', but I think they're kind of obscure outside the UK.

Shit! 'Bollocks!' How could any British person forget the 'bollocks'??
Bollocks - testicles. Synonymous with bravery ("You've got bollocks", "Show some fuckin bollocks") but also for when someone is talking a load of old toot ("PZ/The Prune/Black Zvan etc. etc. is talking bollocks again."), and used as an exclamation for when you wish to refrain from doing something you dislike ("Fly economy class?? Bollocks to that!" - as said in an alternative universe where Rebecca Watson is British). Can also be deployed as a dismissive insult ("Bollocks to yer!") or as a general exclamation to aid catharsis ("Aw BOLLOCKS!")

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I dont get it. A classmate got a new bow, was super excited about it, and wanted to show it to another advanced member of the class (theoretically someone who would appreciate his cool new toy). This classmate also understands that others do not like to carry their heavy equipment far ("He knows this."), so avoids parking in the most convenient spots and leaves them for others (I personally choose parking spots further away as I have no physical disabilities or time constraints when Im shopping, so it doesnt bother me. I leave close open spots open, usually), but took a nice spot on the one day he wanted to show off his new toy.real horrorshow wrote:Surfing around, I saw this:

Chick not only doesnt pay attention to his cool new toy (rude), she assumes he is going to kill/rape her, even though the teacher saw them leave together and he would be the *only* suspect if a crime occurs (idiotic). Considering her admitted disinterest in interacting with this classmate and her preoccupation with her imminent death, it is more than possible that the classmate absolutely told her that he got a new toy and was excited about it, but she was not listening.
There is literally something wrong with these people. Its like, they dont 'dont have social skills'. Its like they have only anti-social skills (talking shit about people they dont know while traveling, no respect for others/stealing, uninterested/disgusted/afraid of normal human interactions, blaming all their negative behavior on other people). Something is wrong with them.

I'm sure no one here would make more out of a simple mistake from a detractor than is needed! :whistle:Dick Strawkins wrote: Strange.
When I typed "that faggot josh" into the search box it only came up with a single hit.
Do you ever wonder whether your pathetic trolling might ever turn around and bite you in the ass?
So if cunt, bitch and twat were less acceptable world-wide a lot here would seemingly stop saying them (I'm addressing them from here on not *all* the pitters). You do realise nigger and faggot were quite happily bandied about not so long ago? As a thought experiment can you imagine a world where Rebecca et al have won their fight against misogyny so misogynistic terms** are no longer acceptable worldwide? By your own admission you would then modify your behaviour to match that norm.
**(Or those decided to be so by the women that find them offensive)
You really don't seem to have a lot of rational justification for your use of some words vs others beyond a sort of argumentum ad un-populam. The more people that find it offensive the less likely you are to use it. Sceptically thinking to keep your word-purity going you will need to conduct regular surveys on the acceptability of *some* terms over others. Does it need to be worked out on a world average or is the local custom to the poster important? Maybe a slime-Ministry of acceptable words could be instituted to look into the matter.
Is it not easier to accept that some people (Not insignificant number - but usually women) will find the word cunt to be demeaning and degrading in the same way that some people (Not insignificant number - but usually POC and gays so a minority in many places world wide) will find faggot and nigger to be degrading and demeaning? If you don't want to degrade and demean group B by use of mere words then why degrade and demean group A?

By forcing him to resign as the only way to protect others from the attacks he was getting, the baboons have actually caused him real life damage, all due to their libellous accusations of both docdropping, and misogyny. If the position had been a paid one, he'd have good grounds for a lawsuit demanding monetary compensation. I am not a lawyer, but I think that's how it goes.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
@Oolon. So faggot and nigger used to be cool to bandy about but aren't now? What the flying fuck does that have to do with whether cunt and bitch are acceptable or unacceptable in the present? What gives anybody the right to decide as an individual which words we can't use just because they personally find them offensive (when it suits them). Lets wait and see if the day arrives when cunt and bitch are actually deemed unutterable rather than deciding in advance eh?

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
OK, I guess we all know what's coming next, just not the target.
Justin was, in reality, small fry, but vitally important to them as a test case.
Now that they've discovered that blacklisting is a winning strategy we can expect a new target each week.
So?
Who is next.
Edwins Rogers?
DJ Grothe?
Any other likely candidates?
Come to think of it, it's only going to be Americans, isn't it.
The A+ hate club is almost entirely concentrated within the US.
They might have a few outliars in the rest of the world but those carry no weight outside the padded confines of the pharyngula echo chamber.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
The SCA is going to get attacks - because it's a group that touches on controversial subjects - and they chose him. This issue has ended the worst way possible: it's over, but nothing has been resolved. There was no principle involved except 'avoidance of controversy.' I only hope they have more fortitude than that when opposing the religious right.Scented Nectar wrote: He says near the end of the article that his resignation is to stop the attacks on the SCA.
I understand the nature of politics, but it's still kind of sad.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
We should start a petition to get St Effy INTO a leaders position. She would never turn down any offer and then more people would get to see what she, and the rest of those knobs, are actually like.disumbrationist wrote:The SCA is going to get attacks - because it's a group that touches on controversial subjects - and they chose him.

They would get more bang for their buck with D.J....and they know more about him on a personal basis as he lives in the same building as Amy and they used to be fast friends. And RW used to be chummy with him as well.
If they have any personal stuff on him, they will use it. They have no need for him anymore as I doubt they will be a part of TAM in the future. (at least not the near future)
But TAM is a pretty important convention, so getting rid of D.J. will free up JREF to hire a new person... doesn't even matter who. But a new person would allow the Skepchicks to be a part of TAM again and save face.

They were having a marvelous time jerking off, and Justin cut off their porn. He removed himself and SCA from being a target.
Now theyve got to find a new target.
Over and over and over and over and over and over.
Outside of the obvious sexual gratification, lets be honest. Their lives are worth nothing. And doing things like this make them feel interesting.
Also, Twatson doesnt have anything personal on DJ. She would have played that card already. I dont think they were 'close' (read: Twatson wasnt able to manipulate him towards her means as well as she manipulates others), and I think thats why she hates him so much.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
But it wasn't the SCA who asked him to go. He chose to in order to protect them, even if they are strong enough that they don't need any protecting. Also, this time the opposition was the tiny religious nutters we have in our OWN community (the baboons/skepchicks).disumbrationist wrote:The SCA is going to get attacks - because it's a group that touches on controversial subjects - and they chose him.

The word skepchick brought back a memory of an old weird song from either the 60s or early 70s. Does anyone else remember Chick A Boom?

Did you get up to this absolute comedy gem from Flewellyn?:real horrorshow wrote:Surfing around, I saw this:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8311/8053 ... f2e026.jpg
So I had a look there.
It's a looong list but, picking a name at random, I was lead to this thread. A treat for those who like their madness pure and triple-distilled. Enjoy!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I LOVE the last line....."He died to a nasty monster". Thanks for that link. Cheered me up a bit.Now, I was hesitant, because he's kind of a douche, and also he had a crush on one of my friends and was rather creepy about it. But, he hadn't crossed a line with me yet, and the others shrugged, so I let him join.
We played for a bit, and then we came to a point where Chuck was fighting a monster. His effective level was quite high compared to the monster, so he was going to win handily. He asked if anyone wants to interfere, and then when we said no, he said, "Okay, fine, I rape its face."
*RECORD SCRATCH*
The women all looked VERY uncomfortable, as you might imagine. I looked at him and said "Yeah, don't ever say that."
Chuck was all wide-eyed innocence. "What? What'd I say?"
"Don't use the word 'rape' like that."
Chuck looked like he wanted to argue, but then he just shrugged and said, "Whatever, pussy." I glowered at him, and then gave the others around the table a glance. All of the women looked at me, and nodded. Not a word said, but we all knew what to do.
At which point, over the next round, we all proceeded to dump ALL of our "mean" cards, be they curses, or extra monsters, or monster buffs, onto Chuck. He quickly ran out of counters, lost his equipment, and then died to a nasty monster.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Please Americans on this site tell me that you don't play these children's games. There seem to be American grownups bragging on all the sceptic/atheist sites about still playing this shite. Fuck me, if i'd had anything to do with this when I was eight, never mind now as an adult, I'd have been tarred and feathered by the local kids.Tony Parsehole wrote:Did you get up to this absolute comedy gem from Flewellyn?:real horrorshow wrote:Surfing around, I saw this:

That’s femtheism dogma that’s talking; they have a philosophy of a particular “belief-dependent realism†[Shermer] that molds their experiences into a narrative that tends to bear little resemblance to actual reality ….ERV wrote:I dont get it. A classmate got a new bow, was super excited about it, and wanted to show it to another advanced member of the class (theoretically someone who would appreciate his cool new toy). This classmate also understands that others do not like to carry their heavy equipment far ("He knows this."), so avoids parking in the most convenient spots and leaves them for others (I personally choose parking spots further away as I have no physical disabilities or time constraints when Im shopping, so it doesnt bother me. I leave close open spots open, usually), but took a nice spot on the one day he wanted to show off his new toy.real horrorshow wrote:Surfing around, I saw this:

Chick not only doesnt pay attention to his cool new toy (rude), she assumes he is going to kill/rape her, even though the teacher saw them leave together and he would be the *only* suspect if a crime occurs (idiotic). Considering her admitted disinterest in interacting with this classmate and her preoccupation with her imminent death, it is more than possible that the classmate absolutely told her that he got a new toy and was excited about it, but she was not listening.
There is literally something wrong with these people. Its like, they dont 'dont have social skills'. Its like they have only anti-social skills (talking shit about people they dont know while traveling, no respect for others/stealing, uninterested/disgusted/afraid of normal human interactions, blaming all their negative behavior on other people). Something is wrong with them.
Knocked my socks off to see this from Grimalkin in the same thread:
And I'm going to just decide from now on that every answer Watson gives to anything is just automatically fantastic.

If by 'fantastic' he means groundless and not based in reality (i.e. laced in fantasy), then he'll get no objection on my end ;)Grimalkin wrote:And I'm going to just decide from now on that every answer Watson gives to anything is just automatically fantastic.
