Operation VaginaGASM

[Nephew Twiddleton]

A few Norwegian words: Mus (mouse), fitte (cunt), kuse (thing you hang curtain poles on), høne (hen), glufse (untranslateable), kjøttgardiner (meat curtains), bever (beaver)

Well, we have cunt, meat curtains and beaver in common...

How vulgar is glufse? The fact that it's untranslatable intrigues me.

[EK WAFFLR]

glufse is vaguely equivalent to gash.

glufse is vaguely equivalent to gash.

Gash is not used in America, but it is used in Ireland (and presumably in the UK).

Interesting other note for musicians. In Ireland (and presumably in the UK) flange is also used to describe female genitalia.

Flange withing music is the effect that makes a whooshing sound. An example might be... hrmmm... the drums on Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, I think.

One of Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden's solo project songs. Flanging is at about 1:14

I'd say Gash is used in the UK, but not really widely. There's a definite tendency over here that a certain line(Slang in this regard generally) is considered "blue" and so if you're crossing it, you may as well cut to the chase, grab the cheap laugh and go as offensive as your audience will laugh at.

For example, there was a minor outcry a while back when Cameron mentioned twitter / Twat. Can't recall the quote but it was a minor event. If he'd been using "more offensive" slang then it may have been a bigger issue.



I'm just realising how fucked your free speech laws must be.

Theoretically our free speech laws are fine.

Of course this gets complicated in the fact that no one in the United States, save for PDers, seem to know what the First Amendment actually means, or what its implications are.

Strictly speaking, it means that the United States government is unable to restrict your speech.

In common parlance it means that if someone calls you out on being an assbag, they're infringing on your rights even if they're not employed by the government.

They always ignore the fact that criticizing your words is also protected by free speech.

Prime example, anytime someone mentioned that Sarah Palin said something retarded, and her response, which clearly showed she has no understanding of the Constitution and is not fit for office.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

As you can see, this is probably one of the most violated sections of the Constitution, but not for the reasons that people generally complain about.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Also, the First Amendment clearly states that the official stance of the United States about the existence of God, or which specific god, is "irrelevant."

Or at least, it is supposed to be.

[Junkenstein]

I think I was trying to get at while the "Laws" may be fine, even laudable, the subsequent implementation seems to be lacking.

I've only really got a basic handle on the constitution and similar things. It's just a lazy assumption I keep making that laws in general will be ill applied sooner or later no matter the original intent.

Like pretty much everything on the AI board it's a case of shut up and learn more

Laws are often fine and good when first implemented. This, however,  assumes that humans as a whole are rational things with a basic level of reading comprehension. So they get twisted.

You just told me to shut up in AI (not really, but I'm choosing to be offended for SCIENCE! experiment here). You're infringing on my right to free speech, even though PD is a private organization and can legally tell me to shut the fuck up and enforce it, regardless. (PD is under Irish jurisdiction, but we're assuming United States, again, for SCIENCE!) And as an ill-informed American, I can bitch about this shit and you must accommodate me.

[Junkenstein]

I suppose the other side of it is some humans have a very good level of reading comprehension and know exactly what they want to comprehend. So you equally get a slide that way in similar or other regards ultimately leading to all sorts of shit being very wrong and it's a bit of a fucker to unravel it all.

Do we not get to spout shit under EU/human rights act over here?


Just realising how much I need to look into this kind of shit.

Finding loopholes and making it fit your interpretation is a bit different than gross misinterpretation though.

Strictly speaking, if you call me an asshole for saying something stupid, I'm infringing on your right to free speech by saying you're infringing on mine.

Except in reality, neither of us is infringing anything since neither of us is Congress, as a whole, making a law, saying Junkenstein can't say shit about Twid.

[Junkenstein]

To be honest, right now, I'm just amazed at how far away the conversation has got from vaginas.

You have a point.
