WTF english and false synonyms

[Free]

Where is your God now?

A cake made out of pies is nonsensical. And god is dead.

English is of suck, makeshift and stolen the words of other lands mashed up forming an abomination of sounds.

Oh and same sounding words with diff spellings and meanings are facking annoying.

Oh english? I was thinking of japanese. Where every word they say sounds like a squeaking noise they make in Dragonball Z when powering up for 20 episodes.

The only thing that matters is whether the idea one is trying to express is coming across to the audience one is trying to express it to. This is why I only sometimes use fuck, shit, etc. To most people I come across that I'm trying to convey some meaning to it doesn't contribute to understanding of the conversation.

 

[NiranV Dean]

But fuck and shit are two really good words to convey a sense of extreme to the audience.

Like saying "This is FUCKING delicious"
or
"That's the biggest shit i've ever heard"

But it also functions perfectly well to convey some humor or the sense of ...wait for it... fucking up! The iconic "ohhh...shit" or "....fuck." comes to mind, you know something is about to happen when someone says it like that.

EDIT: They are multiplicative when used in conjunction with each other. "This is FUCKING SHIT" puts a lot of emphasis on the shit making it all the more shit, when a simple shit simply isn't enough.

someone should wind up this post and throw it in the wind

I remember this one time I was doing a coffee run while working for a newspaper that wanted to run a story about a guy who was trying to run for office but had gotten into a run of bad luck that started when he was out running one day and managed to run across a woman who couldn't get her car to run; he mentioned that the street they were on runs all the way downtown where there's an auto repair shop (I used to know the guy who runs the place) and since the bus doesn't run on Sundays they decided to walk. So they both headed off and were halfway there when some idiot in a car decided to run a red light, which of course led a cross-traffic truck with the right-of-way to run into him. Spilled fluids from the wreck started to run down the road and they caused the poor woman to slip and get a run in her stocking. She wasn't badly hurt, but just to be safe they called an ambulance to run her down to the hospital where they could run some tests. The ER was running a little slow because it was a busy weekend, with patients running the gamut from some kid with a runny nose to a guy who slipped and broke a rib while trying to run a bath; and while chatting with the nurse she discovered to her delight that he used to play baseball in high school and had a pretty decent run of it (in fact his record for most runs in a season still stands today). She was enjoying the conversation but eventually ran out of time when the doctor returned to give her a run down of the test results and discharged her. Stopping by the financial clerk on the way out, he handed her the hospital bill, telling her "that'll run you about three grand", causing her blood to run cold at the exorbitant cost. Sadly in order to pay she was forced to sell a limited-run Babe Ruth baseball card she'd inherited her father after he died of a certain kind of cancer that runs in her family; but on the bright side I've used the word "run" or some derivation of it 27 times in this post and it had a different definition every single time - and I don't think I even covered all the possible definitions either. The end.

Did you mean: "Eight"

That isn't the point though. Yes fuck and shit have a million meanings. They are well used within certain contexts. There is always someone listening though. It is good to keep in mind who is listening. Not because curse words or bad grammar are inherently important. Because I want to translate my thoughts as well as I can to whoever is listening. If a word like, oh, "ceremoniously" is going to be received with a blank face, because they are thinking, "What are you talking about?" and y'all can address whatever I'm saying more appropriately, than y'all it is.

"ceremoniously"? Indeed i'd be looking at you with a blank face, not because i've never heard this word before but because the first thought that would shoot through my mind is "are you religious?"

Whatever that thing was that Dakota posted is an example for me. tldr; Needs paragraph breaks.

 

[WolfEyes]

Not all ceremonies are religious in nature or origin.

 

[Essence Lumin]

Ah well, then obviously I had fucked up in my communication.

Well sigh, how could I make anything clearer or maybe I'm dense? Ceremoniously can mean all sorts of things including meeting my friend I haven't seen forever, but I don't need to explain it as having a fucking good time. Oh forget it.

I need a *nice* word that means buttfucked.

See? Now that i can understand.

How do you know? Ceremonies practically beg to be of religious origin of some kind, many things are. How do we even know what has a religious origin or not? Just because some old guy scribbled it on a few papers? If you were to scribble a few things on a paper and someone were to find it 2000 years later they'd probably believe what you've written even if what you've written is totally not the truth, given there are no ways of proving otherwise. Just like we can't prove that Jesus ever existed nor that he woke up from the dead again. Maybe someone simply carried him out as prank? Who knows if not some necrophilia dude grabbed his corpse and raped it in the backyard then burned his corpse to ash? All we can say is that a dude waking up from the dead can only mean 2 things, either he wasn't dead because health monitoring wasn't that good back then (and even today it can still happen that someone is declared dead and then wakes up in a coffin later) or because it's simply a lie, a prank or just a story that was told to kids or parents to squeeze money out of them with religion.

I wasn't aiming that at you.

Yes, you can ceremoniously greet/meet your friend. A handshake is a ceremonious (or ritual) thing to do when meeting/greeting. Doesn't make it religious though. There are many, many things that are done ceremoniously and not a single one of them have anything to do with religion or the religious.

Just a couple of run-on sentences; nothing too important. ^^

I ran out of breath reading it to myself silently.

AND WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP HITTING THE DAMN CAPS LOCK!! I've been doing that for days now.

I see now. So that's how it is. You're one of them! You thought i wouldn't figure out that you're secretly trying to convert me to your totally religious cause.

I'm totally impervious to religion unless this religion is no religion.
