AndyB01 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 We're in the process of helping my son renovate his first house - a neglected 1980s semi-detached. Lots of very foul-mouthed trades involved: plumbing, carpentry, sparky and plastering - each with their own unique and colourful vernacular. I'm sure Baby Evie next door is learning lots of new words her Mum and Dad would rather she didn't. ? Reminds me of the old joke about the little girl whose house was having an extension built. She spent the week helping the builders - Wayne and Gav - by taking them drinks and biscuits and sweeping up after them. At the end of the week they gave her a pay packet, with a few pounds in, so she proudly went to the bank with her Mom to open an account and pay it in. After learning how she'd earned it, the cashier asked the little girl: 'So, will you be working with Wayne and Gav again next week?' 'Well' said the little girl, pausing for a moment... 'It depends if those w@nkers from Jewsons deliver the f*ckng bricks!' ?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I can swear in 5 or 6 languages, but there's something particularly cathartic about swearing in French Canadian... When my French speaking former in laws visited last fall, I realized that I was inadvertently using a lot of English words when speaking with them, which is only normal because I live and work in English, rarely get to speak French, and 90% of the movies and tv I watch are in foreign languages. But if I injure myself and get angry, I return to my French Canadian roots in no time. Back home, swear words are rooted in Catholic worship and practice. And there's something perversely satisfying about cursing in French because it's like having a plethora of words that have the same intensity and the same emotional charge as the F word in English, allowing one to sustain the paroxysm of their anger quite effortlessly for vast periods of time.

mettelus Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 On 4/1/2024 at 8:45 PM, Matt Rayner said: the varnish on that neck really is thick This is helpful in a way, since it kept you from digging into the wood itself. Tru-Oil tends to excel in these situations, because it will apply as thin as you want/need to fill imperfections/scratches, or simply re-add a sheen to a surface. Just keep buffing it as it dries to fill and match the original contour. Ironically, some of the cheapest final polishing solutions come from the automotive industry (ultra-fine polishing compounds, waxes, etc.)... once "guitar" gets applied to its use the price goes up dramatically for the same product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Rayner Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 (edited) Mettelus. It was absolutely no help at all. Not one bit! But, I agree with you on the automotive gunk. CARNAUBA from Turtle Wax will get your laquered body (not yours, obv) shining like new. Rain, here's some Finnish for you. Merde in Finnish is PASKA. My kids were in heaven once when we visited Greece at Easter. The word Paska in Greek is Easter and "Kala Paska" means Happy Easter. In Finnish, Kala is fish. The little monsters were going round in hysterics wishing each and every Greek: Merde du poisson. Edited April 3 by Matt Rayner typo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in my favourite bar in Kefallinia watching England play an "easy" game v Iceland in the Euro 2016 finals. For the benefit of those that this means nothing to, let's just say it didn't go to plan. After the game, ever keen to improve my very basic knowledge of greek words I asked my friend who owns the bar and was watching with me....how do you say England football team in Greek....? He replied...."γαμημένοι γουάνκερ" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Smith Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Haven't looked at the definition of curse words. Things we say that add force to our conversations? Like negative verbal art maybe? I dunno. I can't say it's positive. Any happy curse words out there? Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Jewish (not that there is anything wrong with that!! LOL Seinfeld reference) I used Google to translate an English word into Greek. That was the result. If you go back and translate it back to English, it comes up as "bugger". There was also other meanings for that same word too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
