The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Caomhaoin]

I didn't say never, I said not to any great degree. Even the Yahoos at the news desk are savvy enough to 'mention' it but sure you know that.

Someone else posted the video above, I hadn't seen it before, therefore I hardly 'unearthed' it. Sure it's only a load of lads lined up shouting nigger nigger get out of China at black lads getting off a bus, it's a micro story, sure no big deal, YAWN

I do know how to follow a discussion on a forum Kev, a little too well probably, so I wasn't talking about *you* unearthing it

It's a micro story because the sad reality is that there's nothing more common than stories like this. Only a tiny fraction of them can be reported on. But hey, look, it's in Vice now. Vice!

Gavin McInnes must have a serious dose seeing what he created go the way it has.

A German lad I play five a side soccer with called me a fucking Irish son of a bitch (sounds harsher in Spanish) and various other German insults because I blocked him three times in a row and made him look like a fucking prick. Nobody took umbrage so you're right about the underreporting.

"¡Hijo de la gran puta irlandesa!"?

Hijo de la gran puta. Amazing insult. It's an interesting topic in its own right, the various ways of saying rude words in different languages and you've seen for yourself, swear words are so common in Spain that even the gravest insult rarely raises an eyebrow.

'Me cago en la puta'. I shit on the whore. That's how you day FFS in Madrid.

A Belgian lad said (I think) 'connard', not to me, but it didn't have the same ring.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

My father-in-law only says the polite form, "me cago en diez!" But he says it roughly 50 times a day, I guess to compensate?

"Fils de pute" carries much more weight in French than its Spanish equivalent, and yeah, "connard" would be the closer equivalent in terms of usage. It resonates pretty strong, evoking both "con" (cunt/stupid) and "cornard" (cuck), rolling them together into a pretty strong form of "dickhead".

Warhead should chime in here, Serbo-Croat has an unbelievably rich tapestry of insults. Amazingly creative shit aswell.

The problem is Croatian/Serbian insults are simply impossible to translate. have to admit Serbians are having much richer vocabulary when it comes to cursing/insults, they crack me up every time 
My fave is a simple one, the one we use as a what's up, or good morning, or in any situation basically .....it is Jebo te bog, or jebem ti boga. Roughly translated, it would be something like, God fuck you, or  I'll fuck your god.
You use it in a way, let's say, you meet someone on the street, you'd say, hey, what's up, I'll fuck your god. Or, if you're eating a hot soup, you'll say, whow, the soup is hot, I'll fuck your god.

I liked that one Jebem ti krva (excuse spelling and grammar), I'll fuck your blood.

All the animal ones too, amazing.

This is as true a depiction of the Serbs I've ever seen.

Peter Dinklage complaining that Snow White's depiction of dwarfs is offensive.

Sounds like he's auditioning for the role of Grumpy.

The Spotify/Rogan/Young thing* seems to be gaining traction, the list of artists pulling out now includes Young, Mitchell, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Barbara Streisand, Pearl Jam, Queen, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney.


*thought I'd post it here as it seeems to suit this thread more than the apocalypse one.

Are these all verified? There was a lot of random musician naming over the last couple of days. But if genuine, maybe they saying they're pulling out now because a solution has already been proposed so they can instantly both change their mind and congratulate themselves?
