My favorite Eric Garland moment was when Nintendo Harold, @911victim, tweeted “suck my pussy” at him and he replied with this:

The fact that this guy has any credibility is extremely disorienting to me

That's just because German groups a bunch of words together and calls that a new word. It's basically cheating.

It’s always weird seeing people being surprised by that fact. English has compound words too, just like German. You just put a space in between. Donaudampfschifffahrtgesellschaft is Danube steam boat driving society, works perfectly. Wouldn’t work in a lot of non-Germanic languages like Italian, though.

That's too many words. I prefer, "You ready?!" It obtains affirmative consent and it's brevity prepares them for what's to come.

English Sex: succinct and efficient.

Nothing beats the somewhat-recent Israeli Hebrew trend of "ער\ה?", one word which literally means "are you awake?" but figuratively means "hey, you up for some loving?"

I’ve read this story before but I just noticed something I didn’t before.

quote:

...Orris) decided he wanted steak, prime rib, went to the Sage Room at Harveys (Lake Tahoe) and of course he had two bites and choked and died."
"(Orris') grandson tried the Heimlich maneuver several times,"

...

They gave the pass to Orris' grandson Ed, who used it that evening, Hof said...

Rhino, you did this to me!

The two sentences around it are pretty good too.

quote:

Hof said Orris, of Sullivan, Ill., brought a $10,000 tip to give to Kisses.

They gave the pass to Orris' grandson Ed, who used it that evening, Hof said.

"I don't know what happened to the $10,000," Hof said.

I mean yeah, since that means "do you want to sleep with me tonight"
Wanna gently caress would be "tu veux baiser ?" or "on baise?" I guess.

I do actually remember hearing once that while it's not commonly known, licking or straight up eating chunks of real old poo poo is a thing archaeologists do not as infrequently as you'd think.
Not 100% on that tho. May have just been a couple weirdos.

It's very common.

I want to marry an archaeologist
And keep his artifacts warm
I'd travel with him through jungles and deserts
And weather out every storm
If he wants me to, I'll burrow and dig
On burials small and castles big
Oh, I want to marry an archaeologist
What a marvelous gig

Mummy would love him and Daddy too
We'd be famous and well-to-do

Oh, I want to marry an archaeologist
Then I could boop-e-doo, swahoo
I could boop-e-doo, ooh
We'd play peek-a-boo
