You don't consider "Goddamn" swearing?

I had no clue really.

I always agreed with Beaumarchais :

LE COMTE

Ce n'est pas ce que je voulais dire, laissons cela. J'avais... oui, j'avais quelqu'envie de t'emmener à Londres, courrier de dépêches... mais toutes réflexions faites...

FIGARO
Monseigneur a changé d'avis?

le comte.

Premièrement, tu ne sais pas l'anglais.

figaro.

Je sais God-dam.

le comte.

Je n'entends pas.

figaro.

Je dis que je sais God-dam.

le comte.

Hé bien?

figaro.

Diable! c'est une belle langue que l'anglais; il en faut peu pour aller loin: avec God-dam en Angleterre, on ne manque de rien nulle part.—Voulez-vous tâter d'un bon poulet gras? entrez dans une taverne, et faites seulement ce geste au garçon; (il tourne la broche) God-dam! on vous apporte un pied de boeuf salé sans pain. C'est admirable! Aimez-vous à boire un coup d'excellent Bourgogne ou de Clairet? rien que celui-ci; (il débouche une bouteille) God-dam! on vous sert un pot de bierre en bel étain, la mousse aux bords: quelle satisfaction! Rencontrez vous une de ces jolies personnes qui vont trottant menu, les yeux baissés, coudes en arrière, et tortillant un peu des hanches? mettez mignardement tous les doigts unis sur la bouche; ah! God-dam! elle vous sangle un soufflet de crocheteur: preuve qu'elle entend. Les Anglais, à la vérité, ajoutent par-ci, par-là quelques autres mots en conversant; mais il est bien aisé de voir que God-dam est le fond de la langue; et si Monseigneur n'a pas d'autre motif de me laisser en Espagne...

Marriage of Figaro...what a play! I saw a new production of it over Christmas, they messed up the mise-en-scène, butreally execllent!

Sans la libérté de blâmer il n'y a point d éloge flatteur!
Le Roy est mort: Vive le Roy!

The Count ...I had wanted to take you to London....

Figaro....Sir has changed his mind?

Count...You don't know english

Figaro...I know god-dam

Count...I'm sorry?

Figaro...I'msaying I know god-dam

--so?

--Lord! It is a beautiful language english, you need little of it to get by, with god-dam in england, you lack nothing anywhere!
You want to taste a good fat chicken? enter a pub, and make this gesture to the garcon : (turns spit), yo are brought a salted foot of beef without bread.Its admirable! You like a glass of Bourgogne or Claret? (mimicks opeing boittle) God-Dam! You are served a potof beer in got state, frothing at the brim : what satisfaction! (and so on...)

Fine. No-one acknowledge the literary reference from one of the world's greatest playwrights to defend my comments on Huckabee.

Me neither. But I'm not religious.

I know lots of people who are pretty serious about the whole "taking the lord's name in vain" though, so I'm not suprised people take offense at it.

Yeah, but taking offence at it isn't the same as calling it swearing, in my view.

Anyhow, after that bizarre digression resulting from my inadvertant faux pas, back to Huckabee : what actual policy does he have other than his plan for the most ludicrous protectionnism.

Just another side note on American English. If it holds back water, it's perfectly ok for polite society. If it involves fire and brimstone, it's swearing.



Anyway, what policy of protectionism are you talking about?

Very good. I'll bear in mind not to trust 18th century french playwrights' discourse on the foundations of english.

The policy I refr to is Mike Huckabee's whole tariff and import tax mantra.

Huckabee = Pastor
Pastor = Man of God
Man of God = Thats the best policy of all.

Stupid maybe,simplistic certainly, but that is the way a huge amount of evangelical votes will be cast.

What?


A dam blocks rivers; a damn blocks potential heaven-attainers (convoluted semi-wittiness - yes!)

Essentially, if you could be sending somebody to hell, you can't say it on TV, especially if you put G-d in front of it. Unless you actually are damning somebody, in which case it's probably OK, but uncool.

Sure, just to spice thing up a bit. The anniversary of the October Revolution is one of the holidays I insist on celebrating.
