It's not nice to make fun of other languages, so don't you dare laugh.

Link not working for me?

I had a nightmare about experiencing a harsh case of imperialismens slut once.

While you're at it, don't laugh at less-commonly-heard Purcell selection on this wedding album.

I'm not sure I understand what we're supposed to be disapproving of making fun of here, but no, it's not nice at all!

Thank you, Wolfdog, that was my first big laugh of the day. "Vals" indeed...

Oh, please tell me Cloetta Plop's are delicious. I want them to be my new favorite candy.

posted by danostuporstar 11 December | 13:15

Plops too.

posted by danostuporstar 11 December | 13:15

!!! Plopps !!!

posted by danostuporstar 11 December | 13:16

If you'd asked me I'd have said I never cared much for Purcell, but now -- frankly, I'm intrigued. I wonder how you tune one of those?

posted by Wolfdog 11 December | 13:19

Oh, I see it now; track 12.

slut [slu:t] adj. / over, at an end, finished; noun / end; termination; close; or, in this case, finale.

danostuporstar: sadly, Plopps are more just passable than delicious; Swedish chocolate is not that good...

Perhaps Anal Cunt means something perfectly harmless in another language?

I once had someone write me a strumpet sonata...

The Swedish for slut, by the way, is slampa, so, if this fellow ever visits Stockholm, he may wonder why people are laughing at / propositioning him...

I'd also be very disappointed if you laughed at traditional Greek swap and barter financing.

WTF!? Seriously?

posted by danostuporstar 11 December | 14:03

"Ironiska smastycken" made me laugh more than "Slut", for reasons that I can't quite articulate.

Also:

Dig the violinist.

I am 8.

That's a really good album, BTW. Cantus Arcticus is lovely.
