American slang is so weird. You suck! I thought suck was a good thing. Fuck you! ditto. Bad! Wait, isn't that good?
@singlemaltgirl no wonder we are doomed as a species.
@singlemaltgirl navigating the world is fraught with difficulty.
In America we tend toward a smaller lexicon when we curse. There is a LOT of motherfucking but little to no fatherfucking (except at church) or animal fucking (except rats — why rat fucking and not, say, moose fucking? No clue). Fucktard over fuckwit (a very older but far more witty curse). Occasionally you hear weird things like fuckalicuous but it’s difficult to know if that’s a good fucking or a bad fucking. Or fucking bad. Could be both.
@dauphin87 “very older” ugh. Past my bed time (I edit too much on the fly and rarely proof unless it’s 80 proof)
@feloneouscat you had me at lexicon.
@dauphin87 isn't this treason
@dauphin87 if someone is fucking or sucking you, that is likely to be good.
but you suck or you fuck, not so much.
or so i'm told. 🙄
