note (en-en)

Interesting rant, but I didn't even know the word 'nosh'...

16 'fuck' (and variations)
And I thought it was only Lingvo where people were lazy to use uppercase for 'i' - 21/46

He also made a big typo himself - “Jesus looks <bad> with a bear”... he meant beard.

Grumbler, a nosh is a snack, a bite to eat - it’s Jewish slang.

Well, now, after reading, I know...

this letter is what I call "a grain of gold in a ton of sand" - he provided his explanation about the importance of the "a" but surely it could be done less wordy and less emotional
but - we probably would have never heard about this letter if it was not so emotional...

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 4 years ago

That’s true enough. I can handle profanity, I just can’t stand blasphemy.

grumbleradded a comment 4 years ago

интересно, что многие словари, в т.ч. и Лингво, дают 'богохульство' среди значений и слова profanity

ramix ramixadded a comment 4 years ago

grumbler, это значение 'богохульство' (blasphemy) у слова profanity описывается и в Chambers, и Collins и др. словарях

grumbleradded a comment 4 years ago

Я именно это и хотел сказать. Получается, что profanity - это более широкое понятие, которое включает в себя blasphemy

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 4 years ago

My comment means that I can handle мат, but I just can’t stand богохульство.
