@lisamelton FWIW you have a long way to go before hitting Samuel Jackson's Record.
@NoRomBasic LOL! Yes, but a girl has to try.

And that is, of course, because I'm a stickler for both clarity and precision when referring to techbros and transphobes.
Which means I should acknowledge that usage count is now three posts.
And to further clarify, while I'm sorry if someone told you there wouldn't be any math today, I am not sorry for anything else.
Thank you.
@lisamelton I take deep offence at the implication that techbros and transphobes are "motherfuckers". This is immensely insulting to motherfuckers everywhere!

The versatility of quintessentially Anglophone “motherfucker” has a corollary in (especially Mexican) Spanish, “pinche”:

"techbro" should be the new standard bad euphemism. bonus, it rhymes with "mofo." a creative person could write a limerick...

@Nichelle @lisamelton I agree. "Techbro" could become one of the most offensive insults if we just use it right!

@Unlikelylass @lisamelton If you're super precise, that may not be true. One could be fucking non-mothers only up to the point of conception, and then stop and never again engage with that person.
I don't know how likely that is, to be fair.

@lisamelton LOL. LOL. BTW I was double checking my Hindi (to see if my memory of the word was correct and this was the first response I got. Which is literally sounded out as Maadur Fukr in Devanagari script.
मादरफकर Yeah. Translation needs some work still. LOL LOL LOL -

@lisamelton on a slight tangent, I once got into trouble with work for participating in a chat about offensive language. I argued that being offensive is a useful tool in interpersonal communication, the main counter argument, and the one that started the conversation, was that foul language was always unacceptable. Throughout the discussion I was very careful not to use, or endorse, any foul language. Offending idiots is the right of all free thinking people.

Idk how any of you were raised, but I knew in kindergarten that some words were gutter talk. My worst derrogative was "stupid pooper butt," and Sherry was definitely one.
My first exposure to the word "fucker" was the summer between kindergarten and first grade. Two men were doing some kind of maintenance on the storm drain in front of the house that was kitty-corner from my house. I went to watch, even though I wasn't supposed to cross the street that was a highway.
I legit thought they meant to say "sucker" because they were talking about some other man who they didn't like, and who wasn't there.
So when I added the various forms of "fuck" to my vocabulary (at summer camp) I *absolutely* knew why that was gutter talk.

@sandorspruit @lisamelton I liked Cleese, but he has fallen into one of the two categories of “motherfucker” more recently (and you can probably guess which).
@samir @lisamelton Oops, I must have missed that one. Last thing I heard was him ranting about a certain president.
*goes off to check what’s going on*
I see what you mean. Hold on, editing my toot. Done.

@FinalGirl @lisamelton I'm sorry ladies, but I'm a strictly one mother fucker, and my wife would be very upset if she wasn't the mother in question.

@lisamelton yeah, and the Language Police and self appointed Shites in Whining Armour are motherfuckers, too.
-
@lisamelton Also: One of my favorite words in the English language. It conveys so much meaning and emotional resonance, and is so variable.
I use "fuck" a lot for the same reason. One of the most variable words in the English language.
And as someone who spent a quarter century writing for a living, I think people who are hung up on swearing need to get over their shit because they're just fucking wrong. I'll stop short of actually calling them stupid motherfuckers but you bet I thought it.

I’m a fan of “death of the author” when the author’s dead. Maybe I’ll watch Fawlty Towers again once he’s popped off, but not before.
