Re: [lojban-beginners] Obscene vocabulary



I think what ruler11 is getting at (and I've also started similar discussions with little success) is... "let's talk about things that you would say in lojban when a jerk cuts you off in rush hour traffic".

In other words, there are time when humans do not want to have to say things like: {do mutce lo ka xlali fi lo remce'u} but would prefer something like "dickhead!".  On that note, I've heard {tolmencre} used with negative connotation (like "idiot").

My basic understand of Lojban is that facts are not profane--you
might say "I'm going to excrete feces" to say "I'm going to the
bathroom" without negative connotation.

You can certainly be insulting, and rude, but it isn't the words so
much as the structure of a bridi that creates this effect.
