In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

We call him Bonzo Fuckface, Paul Atreides, for that is his name. He is the goodest of boys but betimes he will do a spice poo poo on the rug, a real bakhira, a steamer.

There is a doggo among you. Give the doggo a bone. And let him sit and stay.

If Linus wishes he can sit with a bone in his mouth.

Man, I would've never seen it as a pun no matter how often I read it. There's just some old farmer wisdom about not harassing the cattle or chickens too much because if they're upset they won't produce as much, and I always assumed it was about that.

I always thought the moo(d)/cattle thing was an intentional joke because the first time I saw Dune (1984) (which was my first exposure to the whole thing) I was watching it with a massively stoned friend who said "Moooooo-d, heh" and then chuckled to himself for like 10 minutes.

When delivered by Sir Patty Stew he really leans on the "mooooo" too imo. The weird part is how it veers into loveplay, lol

There's no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder.
I always thought Gurney meant that nobles, unlike the common masses, don't have the luxury of being in the mood for something it is their duty to do.

I'm open to it being about cows though.

Loveplay between me and your cow mother.

But now it seems like a weird choice to make it ambiguous with the cattle reference


For someone so into language, I just don't think a sneaky modern English pun in the year 9billion is something Frank would want but I could be wrong

How did the Villeneuve film alter the 'mood' exchange between Paul and Gurney? I recall some of it being left out, almost certainly the 'cattle' part.

I mean, I'm pretty sure it's being emphasized there because Gurney's supposed to be throwing it back into Paul's face. An assassin won't care about your "mood." He then goes to "cattle and loveplay" because he's further slapping Paul with the idea he's either acting like a commoner who has to worry about spooking the cows, or being indolent as if wasting time with a lover.
