one of the weirdest ways that language is evolving in response to the internet is thatĀ ābad wordsā just. do not have the same impact anymore. i constantly forget that some people think āfuck youā is a terrible insult
so threats and insults have to start getting really out there if the person wants to even mean anything. if a person told me to die iād shrug it off but if i opened a postās tags and sawĀ āop i will sneak into your house and replace all your shoelaces with cooked pastaā do you know how shaken iād be? do you know how upset iād be if i sawĀ āop is the personification of the look you share w other people in the grocery store when some dude is causing A Sceneā¢ for no reasonā
So you are saying English curses on the Internet are becoming more like Yiddish curses?
I sincerely hope so but I canāt say Iām familiar with yiddish curses and i am begging you to tell me a few
My Personal favorite is:
āMay all your teeth fall out, except for one, to give you a toothache.ā
āOP is a complete onion.ā (their head is in the ground)
āI hope I have the privilege of sewing your shroudā is another one I like.
āMay you have a hundred houses, with a hundred bedrooms each, and ten beds in each room. And may the plague throw you from one bed to the otherā
āMay your death be sweet. Run over by a truck full of sugarā
āMay everyone congratulate your widow at your funeralā
Damn these are good.
