the best part is when you're at the airport with your elementary school wife, so you say "oh dammit i have to say the fuck b-word" at the airport and she both understands, laughs, and kicks you for saying the b-word at an airport.
I sometimes find it interesting to contemplate how best to treat swear words. One the one hand, the thing that seems most obvious to me is to just say "theyre just words to express frustration or anger at something. Those are real and valid emotions, and its silly to treat expletives like theyre morally wrong to say somehow, or like its a bad thing if children learn them, etc." On the other hand, part of the appeal to using them is that they feel at least a bit taboo, allowing a sentiment like "I feel so upset with this situation that I'm going to break this social rule to show it". If theres no taboo at all, which you get when they're used all the time and entirely casually, they no longer serve that purpose very well and people start looking for new things that feel a little bit transgressive to say. Which paradoxically implies that there isnt a point in saying them unless youre not "allowed" to say them, except they cant be too offensive to say either or they'll feel disproportionate and rude.
You're reading too much into it. It's just a word. It doesn't need to be taboo to have power. As long as everyone knows what you mean when you say it then it's a useful word.
My English teacher had a short lesson on this word. Can use it anywhere in every possible way. "Fucking fuck is fucked." "What the fuck is that fucking fuck." And be grammatically correct.
Told the class "It's an amazing word and wish we can use it normally, but don't tell anyone I taught you this."
Dude was strict too, so in his honor I say fuck everyday casue fuck it! Why the fuck not. Don't like it, fuck you. It's a fucking word, for fuck's sake... fuck.
Parmigiano Reggiano? Uh, yeah, Italians take that shit very seriously. I mean, it's illegal worldwide to name your cheese Parmigiano Reggiano unless it is made in that region under strict regulations. There's entire international treaties written about this.
Yeah, that's acknowledged at the beginning of the video.
Tangentially related, did you hear about the time the Dutch Belgians destroyed a shipment of American beer because the brand's slogan is "the champagne of beers"?
Edit: very tired.
Great question. If I understood correctly, the purchaser/importer was German in Germany, but it's unclear what the intended destination was or why they'd import that instead of selecting a domestic/EEA option.
Edit: tired.
Lol, the audacity of some cunts. Oh im from a region that makes excellent X so clearly i am the moral authority expert of the subject and you are not showing the proper respect blah blah.
Mate its fuckin cheese, like he said enjoy it how ya want (or dont in your case) and bugger off.
If i want to spread caviar on a maccas cheese burger and pair it with a french bubbly then i bloody well will, your snooty opionions wont taint my enjoyment, and you can enjoy the cheese the way you want; paired with a side of self entitlement, un-qualified judgment and a glass of your own farts to quaff.
What did happen is him removing a video where he was explaining how he made something that tasted like "parmesan", because the Parmesan lawyers sent him a cease and desist letter
edit: honestly, fuck PDOs. Or as Australia calls them, GIs (geographical indications) and CTMs (certification trade marks). They're such utter bullshit. I don't know whether they actually had legal legs to stand on with him calling it "Grana Padano–style", or if the "style" puts him legally in the clear. It's bullshit either way, but it's extra bullshit if even adding the "style" doesn't clear it.
And when you leave....
An excellent comment.
Can you say "what's up, cheese bags?"
But then you’re losing the “curd nerd” line!
Oh for a red marker to add a comma on that package!
The word is fuck. You don’t need to be afraid of the word fuck. It’s just a happy, colorful little word and we should all embrace it.
Say it with me everyone:
fuck
You're such a curd nerd
Now on the other hand, these absurd c*** n*** slurs should be blurred and unheard.
Oh, nerd with the hard r
So... neretardrd?
Removing cunt is an attack on my culture
A real cunt move
Ohhhh doing the stars on that one makes it look MUCH worse hahaha
Go fuck yourself /s
censored words in posts are designed to artificially increase engagement
I'll buy this conspiracy theory for a thousand, Alex!
Duck
Shit I ducked it up!
All that matters is you tried.
Please enjoy this duck emoji as a token of the internet’s appreciation:

That's fine, it's still fowl language
Well, fack you
I bestow on you, with gratitude and respect, this humble acknowledgment of your efforts:
the best part is when you're at the airport with your elementary school wife, so you say "oh dammit i have to say the fuck b-word" at the airport and she both understands, laughs, and kicks you for saying the b-word at an airport.
Congrats, you fell for the engagement bait.
Too bad it was on Lemmy, where that doesn't matter.

Ignore social implications and optimize your swearing around the strength buffs. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11586181/

OH NO! HE SAID IT! HE WILL BE SHADOW BANNED! LEMMY WILL LOSE ALL SPONSORSHIP! THE ALGORITHM WILL....
Oh wait. I'm on sane social media. Never mind.
One of the most interesting words in the English language is the word "fuck."
It can be used as:
As a transitive verb: "John fucked Mary."
As an intransitive verb: "Mary was fucked by John."
As a noun: "Mary is a fine fuck."
As an adjective: "Mary is fucking beautiful."
It can be used as a greeting: "How the fuck are you?"
Surprise: "FUCK! You scared the shit out of me."
Anxiety: "The day is really fucked."
It can even be used as nearly every word in a sentence: "Fuck the fucking fuckers."
The "intransitive" verb form is still transitive, just expressed in the passive voice
"Fuck" can be used as an intransitive verb though: "John fucks"
Yea that’s fucked
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
Mark Ruffalo ruffalo Ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo ruffalo Ruffalo ruffalo
No that's mozzarella
I can hear the audio from this but don't remember what its from. I do remember having it saved on my Creative Zen as an mp3 though.
John Clease the meaning of Fuck
My hero, ty. Much nostalgic.

Fuck the fucking fuckers!
fudge you
Tell that to the .ml folks lol
Their instance auto-censors them when they use it
It’s okay, those aren’t real people.
That's pretty removed
Fuck
The word is in fact cheese, good sir. Curd, even.
I'm still not convinced that people aren't doing it for engagement bait
Gavin Webber
Thank you!
It's just as I imagined it lol
Was gonna say, I've definitely seen his channel before
The virus or beer?
Both.
Alright you nerds, find this channel
Ol' mate Gavin Webber
Went in looking for angry Italians, was not the only person disapointed
Found it. link to "angry" Italian's comment

That's wild. Why would the Dutch import High Life? It's certainly one of America's more tolerable lagers, but it's still like sex in a canoe.
Great question. If I understood correctly, the purchaser/importer was
Germanin Germany, but it's unclear what the intended destination was or why they'd import that instead of selecting a domestic/EEA option.Edit: tired.
Yeahhh not the Dutch tho....
Belgians, yes. It's in the article. Belgium is not Dutch.
Yep, sorry, I'm very tired right now.
Lol, the audacity of some cunts.

STOP FUCKING POSTING CENSORED SHIT
The comments about the censored words are more irritating than the actual censorship.
So true. That's why I Epstein filed the image. Now they really have something to complain about!
Seriously. They're so much worse. I never would have even noticed anything if it wasn't for these fucks polluting the thread every fucking time.
I've got news for you about an easy way to stop these comments from appearing.
fr!!
Nowhere near as annoying as the people complaining about the complaints.
Someone please find this channel I want to witness it
Sadly the reports of angry Italians are somewhat embellished. Curd nerds is real however.

What did happen is him removing a video where he was explaining how he made something that tasted like "parmesan", because the Parmesan lawyers sent him a cease and desist letter
Wait, Parmesan is trademarked???
Region locked. Parmigiano reggiano can only be produced in the city of Parma and the region around it (see the name).
You can produce whatever you want. You just can't market or sell it under that name.
Not so much trademarked, but having a protected origin:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_designation_of_origin
I'm pretty sure it was actually Grana Padano.
Yup. Grana Padano.
edit: honestly, fuck PDOs. Or as Australia calls them, GIs (geographical indications) and CTMs (certification trade marks). They're such utter bullshit. I don't know whether they actually had legal legs to stand on with him calling it "Grana Padano–style", or if the "style" puts him legally in the clear. It's bullshit either way, but it's extra bullshit if even adding the "style" doesn't clear it.
This was posted years ago, the angry Italians have been drowned out by positive comments a long time ago.
