Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: Curses!



This has been revisited from time-to-time and the outcome is always that curses and such are deeply invested in cultural context. As such a language that is designed to be culturally neutral does not provide curses outside of the cultural context of the particular user. For anyone is raised with lojban as their primary language, the concept of cursing, and expletives will likely be an intellectual exercise, rather than an emotional outburst.

Is it just me, or is this group rather slow of late?

Well, in part to spark up some conversation on here, and in part because I'd like to be able to curse in Lojban, I'm proposing we come up with some Lojbanic curses.

And I don't necessarily mean shit, fuck, damn, etc. I mean more along the lines of "You pea-brained sack of twat-juice!", or "Cum-guzzling gutter slut!" or "Republican" (that last one was a joke).

So, to start things off, here's one from me:

tolmencrerai : x1 is a fucking retard (not in the mental disability sense) to x2 because of x3

i.e. {do tolmencrerai fi lonu lo do carce pu daspo lo mi rozgu} = "You fucking retard! You ran over my roses!"

Actually, a better translation would probably be "You're a fucking retard for running over my roses!"
