Words ......

How fascinating they are in how we use them, and I think about this a lot.

Take for example, calling a person a name .... to vs. of matters .. yet are both the same

If you were to say ... muther fuking retard .. it sounds real bad.
But, if you were to say ... retard muther fuker .. it sounds like you are talking about

I like this one and researched it in dxp before making this thread.

If someone said you are black ... how does that differ from saying you are a black?

Doesn't the word "a" in front of "black" make it mean something different? Like to be black in that context sounds like it is suggesting "of" a kind of person?

So, I looked at Lesbian and Gay in here ... and most of the time people say "a" lesbian, and never with gay.

Nobody says .... he is a gay. They say ... he is gay.

Everyone says ... she is a lesbian. And nobody says .. she is lesbian.

That is odd to me ... why is he as a homosexual, not labelled as being "of" his kind, while a female is?

I'm going to refer to PrincePisces as a gay when I talk to him and let him see how that feels.

I'm a white. 😄

::: touches boobs to see if they feel different :::

If I say a word enough or I concentrate too hard on the word, it suddenly loses all meaning and I just focus on the phonetics and everything, and then I begin to think about how the weird the word is.

Omg, I do that too, Candeh .... fist, or jist, or list .... any 'ist'

Just one day someone said ... look there's a bird .. and that meant ...

look
there
is
a
bird

If hair was called toilet .. we'd be thinking hair is a wierd word

You forgot an important one .... cock or dick

RAT
THE FACT THAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS YOU DOESN'T MAKE YOU A LINGUIST

Wow whatever you're all smoking please stop being stingy

the "th" and the "k" mess with me too.

Why can't it just be a nife?

through and threw .... why? tough, through ..... why?

why a not be pronounced y

Words fuck with my head

cause we thought it looked cooler with a k in front?
That's what I always figured

that's because gay is a 'state of being'..you wouldn't describe someone as a 'happy' or a 'sad'...lesbian is a noun describing a group..hence the article using to describe it.

I think it's recently that people are using the word 'gay' to describe it as a group but it's original purpose was to describe a state of being.

Right, but, if it's a guy who is homosexual, we call him gay, not a gay ... so then if gay is a state of being, then we need to have a different word for the male homo ... because a girl is gay also in this theory.

He is a queer
She is a lesbian
They are gay

Hey, why did gay turn from happy to queer, anyway? I mean somewhere along the line, two guys must have finished sucking each other off and said .... damn now I'm so happy, it's so awesom to be gay with you.

And words must have been made on purpose for men's use ....

The two main things men have on their minds is ...

suck ..... fuck

That can't be a coincidence

um boobs and pussy?

ew I hate the word pussy. :/

it sounds so vulgar

Same reason that faggots becomes —queer??.

From wiki:

Faggots are a traditional dish in the UK,[1][2] especially South and Mid Wales and the Midlands of England.

Well I am going to have —faggots?? with JT and E??_

Blame it on —stupid American English??.

YEAH goddamn those stupid Americans......

goddam stupid Americans going and calling a lesbian a lesbian instead of lesbian

goddam stupid Brits going and calling university university instead of a university

goddam stupid Norwegians talking in English .... goddam, speak your own fucking language

John Cleese's Letter to America

To the citizens of the United States of America:

In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.

Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.

There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."

You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above).

July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only inEngland. It will be called "Come-Uppance Day."

You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.

Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") -roughly $ 6/US gallon. Get used to it.

You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar.

Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.

The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer". Those of you brave enough will, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.

You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776.

Thank you for your co-operation.

John Cleese

^ That's GREAT!

Anyone besides me ever notice how venusianbull waits until someone says something derogatory towards me and then she hops on thier balls?

Go through the history .... she's always been a coward like that, and not just me. She waits until someone comes along so she can show them she has her back .. but, until then, she hangs in the shadows pretending indifference.

What a coward.

goddam stupid Norwegians talking in English .... goddam, speak your own fucking language

My yes, because I enjoyed a letter from John Cleese that means I'm on someones nutsack. *smacking lips dryly* No one needs to point out your vapidity, it speaks for itself.

hey ... why do we use "an" before a vowel, like .... an automobile

and not with university? we say ... a university

"Do you work freelance, or for a union"

I will duly note that defended one post of yours, while I spoke of the whole

I love history probably as much as I do words.

I already planted the seed .... carry on ....

Seed of idiocy. As if I gave a flip if someone reads my old posts all the way back to when I joined. I need no validation from you, nor do I hide posts or belittle others to give self a right good boost. As a matter of fact, everyone is free to do so, please do in fact. But continue on madam, I pray you.

Well we do, fag(deragotory, my apologies)....and homosexual.

Gay was NEVER supposed to describe a man's sexual orientation, it's meant to describe men as 'less than men' the feminine, flamboyant man...'that guy that's a little too feminine, acting a bit too happy..like a walking child...a little girl'..he's gay. The orientation is implied. That's why the theory of using women to describe as gay doesn't 'work' too well..it never had women in mind. The word 'gay' was to describe a man's masculinity or 'lack thereof' not one's sexual orientation.

I( could go for a game of Rounders.

The point was in use of the word "a" ... to mean a person of a kind.

You mean BASEBALL right—...heh..Rounders, that's gay.

Two words I really like and use often ... my people aren't surprised if they hear me say these a lot.
