But why "fish"?

Because in Northern Norway, where the term is used, fishery has traditionally been the main occupation, and a lot of their curses and insults are related to fish :D I mean, if being called a cunt is insulting, how insulting must it not be to be called a fish cunt?
 
Rammstein's Bulgaria gig is listed on their website as Sofia Rocks, is that a festival? Maybe Maiden will play there too...

It is but unlike previous years, this year's festival will only take one day. So if Maiden were to play, would Rammstein open for them? :D

Thanks, Wingman. Makes sense.

That'd be beyond awesome :edmetal: But seriously, organizers may change their mind again.
For example, last year, Black Sabbath was supposed to play in Serbia. But they cancelled, and got replaced by Ozzy Osbourne. Then the organizers expanded the gig into a 3 day festival with Ozzy Osbourne, Faith No More, The Cult + pop stuff like Jessie J and rap stuff like Public Enemy.
 
Turkish vs. English. I go with English. (NSFW -- contains offensive language. Duh.

He's translating the least interesting Turkish sweares to English (he says "koyayım", the verb is "koymak" which literally translates as "to put" but used as a translation for "fuck". The literal translation for fuck is "sikmek" "sik" on this word means "dick", so if you translate directly, sikmek translates as "dicking". etc.), I've been busting my ass to explain that our sweares lose their magic when they're translated. Smh.

You really can't compare Turkish to English without being able to speak both languages.

Swearing is a part of our culture. The first thing we teach to parrots are sweares, hell, the only thing we teach them is sweares. We teach five year old kids how to swear, encourage them to swear. There's a phenomenon called "Hadi oğlum amcana pezevenk de" here, which means "Come on son (in that case he's around 4-5-6 whatever) call your uncle a pimp". You have to curse, we have fun hearing other ones curse. I'm not proud of it, it's not a cool tradition, but still. :D
 
There is a funny video on Youtube, I think it's 'history of the word fuck'. Obviously, it's nsfw, and not factual either. But it is funny, if you are in the mood for a laugh.
 
Strange occurance this morning: Was helping a customer with a return and she said her son wanted to know my age and if I was married and wanted me to look him up on Facebook. o_O He heard my voice and must have liked it?
 
Ha! That is awesome! ...and kinda stalker-y... :)

You maybe should have asked his age. If he was 13 or 45, that could be weird ;)
 
People fall in love on the internet, not having seen each other or heard each other. It's not that weird.
 
I know. Just weird in the sense that it was at work while helping a customer. It's not typical for something like that to happen. :lol: I guess it could be a bit flattering too.
 
Really any language can swear just as well as the next. There are swear words now that I doubt existed say 30 years ago, simply someone uses a term, their friends pick it up and then it spreads etc etc.. soon it becomes common place. It's nothing more creative or that more swears "exist" or are more elaborate, simply one culture jumps on the bandwagon more :p

You biebatwafucks.
(totally gonna catch on, just you wait)
 
You do that, I'll have some sleep.

Completely unrelated: Think how similar the two words neoplasm and pleonasm sound, and how different their meanings are ...
