To anyone watching Ready or Not 2: the subtitles for Nestor Carbonell cursing in Spanish are wrong and bad. For instance, the subs here read "my dick in my dick", which is unheard of and makes no sense. He's actually saying "pollas en vinagre", meaning "pickled dicks", as in preserved in vinegar, which is a thing we say and it makes perfect sense, I assure you.

Modern Toss - Periodic Table of Swearing

The Periodic Table of Swearing is a 21st century design classic. It represents man’s attempt to take the international language of swearing and turn it into a systematic grid based on the chemical elements.

Australia may be well known for the plethora of unfriendly animals that want to bite you or do you in like snakes, spiders, sharks, crocodiles, and drop bears; but now here is something else you can beware of.

The Australian Swearing Owl more commonly known as the Frogmouth Owl, will help to make your stay here upsetting and enraging. Hunting by night the owl will sit in a tree by day and spend the whole time swearing and cursing loudly and profusely. This, along with its huge beak, distinguishes it from the beautiful and cultured owls found in the #NorthernHemisphere.

It has an incredible vocabulary consisting solely of the foulest and most disgusting language, particularly if tourists are known to be in the area.

Does #swearing make you stronger? Science says yes.
There’s a growing body of scientific evidence that this is indeed the case. The technical term is the “hypoalgesic effect of swearing.” #Cursing can also improve physical strength and endurance, according to a new paper published in the journal American Psychologist.

WIST Quotations Has Moved!Sep 25, 2025

A quotation from Moliere

CHRYSALE: As for me, I’d prefer that, while peeling the veggies,
   She misaligns a few subjects and verbs,
   And repeats fifty times a low and vulgar word,
   Than that she burns my meat or over-salts my stew.
   I live on good soup, not on fine language.
 
[J’aime bien mieux, pour moi, qu’en épluchant ses herbes,
Elle accommode mal les noms avec les verbes,
Et redise cent fois un bas ou méchant mot,
Que de brûler ma viande ou saler trop mon pot.
Je vis de bonne soupe, et non de beau langage.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Les Femmes Savantes [The Learned Ladies], Act 2, sc. 7, (1692) [tr. Marks (2018)]

#Cursing

More fuckery from #HCA and #MIssionHospital here in #Asheville after the death of yet another patient, and the continued under-staffing of our hospital system. This is what for-profit hospitals will all be doing in our current era soon.

HCA keeps saying how AVL is their best system, as they're making the most money here. But, as reported, HCA "never committed to quality care."

I still want that on a billboard.

Mission cardiac patient dies after telemetry monitor disconnection; hospital declines nurses’ request for emergency meeting

A Mission Hospital cardiac patient died in late July after becoming disconnected from telemetry monitoring for at least an hour, and  hospital administration repeatedly refused to hold an emergency meeting requested by union nurses about the incident, according to union leaders and emails obtained by Asheville Watchdog. Multiple people, who spoke on the condition of […]
