Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, the current state of affairs is that the current definitions of {mabla} & {zabna} are broken, & the proposal to repair them is here: < http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=BPFK%20gismu%20Proposal%3A%20mabla%20and%20zabna> mu'o mi'e komfo,amonan --0015175ce0e42558060467b0df1c Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 2:29 PM, Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com> wrot= e:

I've been wondering how "cursing" would work in a culture= neutral language, could it really be as simple as "mabla ____" m= eans "____" as an obscenity?=C2=A0 (or again, "mal" as = a prefix in x number of lujvo).

This could make for some very creative cursing, which can be very enter= taining to hear sometimes.=C2=A0 I don't know why, but the idea of limi= tless creativity when I stub my toe sounds very attractive to me.
