Swearing....

Starts a petition...

Allow Spanglish curse words! Free speech! Garbled English!


EDIT: Yeah, but 'Italglish' sounds lame, doesn't it?

Well it could be Englian...

Or Ietnaglliiasnh...

Hmm, that didn't look good. I wonder what happened there.

I think you would probably be fine with any Italian or Spanish, or even Ietnaglliiasnh for one simple reason.
It would be incredibly obvious that you were completely in Roleplay. You can't be offended by someone completely in RP...

...can you?

Well, I dunno. You know how these things are.

There IS the chance that someone whose native tongue is Spanish might find whatever insult I pick up particularly offensive.

Hell, one of our admins first language is Spanish, maybe some advice from Korrd would help here, huh?

Ietnaglliiasnh is the only non-English language allowed...

Whoa... weird.





Disclaimer: Korrd didn't say that! It was a joke! Don't ban me... :(

Oh God, am I bound to play a part in the hijacking of any thread about F-ing swearing?

My guess is yes.

Maybe that'll help?

Well I see the issue has already been done to death...:dry:

I have to admit, I like Malaclypse 666 way of thinking. If you feel the urge to rail on someone, use your own created vocabulary... no wait, that could be dangerous. Do it Monty Python style !!

You know... 'your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of 'alleberries !!':P

I think it's elderberries, but I like what you're saying. The only problem is, as perfectly polite as it may seem, it's not very convincing. More likely, the "insultee" will assume you are OOC and only encourage our latest and greatest problem. I think this would be especially problematic if you were to talk over someone's head (as clever as your diction may be, Mal.) It's best just to avoid the whole issue. The only insult you could really ever get away with is to call someone what they actually are with obvious distaste...

"We'll see about that, Corsair."
"Go smoke some more cardamine, Outcast."
"Go home to your bad food and worse weather, Bretonian!"
"Now you're going down, Rheinland Deutsch-bag!"
"I'm not scared of a Gaian. Tree-hugger!"

Is it so hard to do?
