Sorry Law didn’t answer this one for you, he’s nowhere to be found! Maybe…he was…the backup food! Gyaaah!
Just a reminder that this blog is still the greatest thing ever.
But Confucius has answered them with the final whistle, it’s all over. Germany, having trounced England’s famous midfield trio of Bentham, Locke and Hobbes in the semi-final, have been beaten by the odd goal.
ETA: Just in case anyone hasn’t seen this skit: here
Anon, are you familiar with the term ‘sodomy?’
It may explain a bit.
That said, if you consider the way that human beings actually use swear words, they often completely forgo any particular relation to the origin of the word. It’s a means of expressing distaste or insulting someone, yes, but it’s also a means of venting, much as the way someone stubs their toe and says 'ow’. Ow has no intrinsic value or meaning, it is a sound, a sound that your body and brain produces to distract you from the pain; swearing or screaming is a way of getting rid of or numbing yourself to pain, irritation or anger.
In other words, in the unique case of oaths and curses, the importance of knowing the original meaning of the word is lessened, because the function of swearing is not literal communication but emotive communication. One of the most interesting things about swear words (in my opinion) is that they are so versatile that you can not only use them as adjectives, nouns and pronouns, but you can also use them positively or negatively as freely as you wish. The meaning of swear words lies in context and expression. It is the intent of the speaker or writer that defines the word, not the original meaning of the word.
After all, when was the last time that you said 'motherfucker’ and genuinely meant what you said?

[x] (via fuckyeahstephenfry)Almost everything I am, I owe to libraries. When I was a child there were no great libraries around.
Libraries still for me have this extraordinary charge. When I get in one, I feel this buzz, it is almost sexual. Behind these bound copies are voices - people murmuring to you, seducing you, dragging you into their world. I suppose if I have one campaign I can really get behind it is saving libraries. Everyone surely has the right to access the voices of the past.
A collective of miscellany and mirth. Also sometimes I draw stuff.
