FreudianSlippers posted:Maybe if you're some sort of hippy. I was going to call you out for using words without a saxon/germanic root until I realized I don't know enough about language to do that. (Hippy probably has it's roots 20's African American slang, but you were using it as an insult, so I didn't count it.

I was refering to the writings of Benjamin Franklin "Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind." But yeah. A lot of slang has its roots in jazz culture in the early 20th century. See: cool, hip, gig, lame, jive, groovy, hipster, baby (as a term of endearment), Bad (as in good), the bomb (see cool), corny, square, muggles, pot, reefer, etc. etc. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jun 18, 2017 |

That's because French words are posh upper-class words due to the whole Norman invasion thing. You know how the words for animals are usually Germanic: sheep, bull, swine , sheep, deer, etc. since the people tending to the actual animals were Anglo-Saxons while the words for their meat are Latin: beef, pork, mutton, venison since the people eating most of the meat were Normans.

I know that's part of the idea, but there's also dumb bullshit like "Winston Churchill's 'We shall meet them on the beaches' speech only uses Anglo-Saxon word's except for 'surrender' as a dig at the French" Also you listed sheep twice.

But in a totally platonic way. I have not had any sort of sexual relations with any sheep living or dead.

Bokeh is basically a mockbuster with slightly above average cinematography. So it's like at Kevin Smith levels. It's not a good look.

Thrill! As Maika Monroe talks about To Kill a Mockingbird in a clean, un-rented apartment! edit: This movie blows. Like, the last two other 2017 movies I saw with themes of 'tainted love' and deism were The Resurrection of Gavin Stone and Fifty Shades Darker, and that's a low threshold it didn't even manage to jump.

So apparently when I wasn't looking TCM broadcast the Allied Artists killer tree movie From Hell It Came - along with Kaltiki - the Immortal Monster, this is one of those movies my dad saw as a young'n and talked up for years when I was a kid. So I guess I know what I'm watching tonight. Sorry, Lotte in Italia.

On Netflix I watched both the new Maria Bamford and Sarah Silverman standup specials and both were really strong. Bamford's was as weird as I'd expect from her. I was wondering where she could possible go from having a special where she performed only for an audience of her parents but she did manage to have a concept that, while not as weird, was very interesting and actually added something. The Silverman one was way better than I expected. I remember liking Jesus is Magic from when I was young but I also remember it being full of ironic racism and general shock humor that doesn't amuse me like it used to. Thankfully I'm not the only one that has grown in that way and while Silverman doesn't exactly shy away from that stuff, her standup has become more aware of that stuff, more careful while at the same time more intimate. It wasn't as interesting as the Bamford one but it was also stronger as straight up standup. I also finished off the second season of Documentary Now and while it was a mixed bag it was still pretty strong and did a great job imitating the films it was making fun of (though sometimes to it's detriment with the largely too loving and joke free but very well made Stop Making Sense parody being the lowlight of the season). It helps that I still haven't managed to get over the "how the gently caress does this even exist" factor. Also the punchline to the "The Kid Stays in the Picture" parody was loving fantastic and justified the entire season alone. I also finally caught up with Adventure Time and Steven Universe with both of them fairly recently having big arcs and both of them kicked a ton of rear end.
