Paradise burnout is what I do to emaciated uppity tourist heinies. Burnout Paradise is a racing game. This explains your language barriers, sweetheart.

If she doesn't want to live in Stockholm, I'll gladly switch places with her.

FTFA: "Where I come from..."

Ugh. Also she has a parenting mantra. Or evidently more than one, since she has a favourite. And she's an English teacher. I don't like this woman.

Actually reading the article (I know - who the fark does that?), she comes across as being pretty reasonable about the whole thing.

From the comments on the article -

"Hej raring! Jag har en tolv tums penis!"

I have no idea what this means, but it made me laugh.

I love the Swedes. I was there on business a little while ago, and one evening we went out for dinner at a pretty good restaurant - we were drinking wine that cost about $200 for the bottle... and Lars' phon egoes off. He's on call, so he stands up, loudly exclaims "Oh farking shiat!" and walks out.

I love the Swedes.

When my son and I visited Germany to show him where he was born and lived at there, we stayed in a local youth hostel. Man, those little German kids craved a lot of English swear words into the bunk beds we slept on. Didn't see any German swearing, just English.

/Must be the Anglo influence, huh?

I went to Sweden for a week between 8th and 9th grade, part of a month long Europe tour. Only country where we stayed with a homestay family, though.

My 15 year old homestay sister's boyfriend stayed over every night, her mom joked with them about sex over the breakfast table, I got to accompany them to a pregnancy test center (her boyfriend did the equivalent of 60 mph on the roundabouts - why yes, we were on two tires despite five in the car), got invited to watch a porno,and I (and all my fellow American teens) got offered alcohol repeatedly.

That was an awesome shock to my born-and-raised-Catholic self, since it was at the tail end of my fairly-sheltered upbringing and just before high school craziness came around.

In retrospect, I'm fairly certain that town was just especially crazy since it was in Sweden's BFE equivalent and everyone was bored as hell, but still. My mom later biatched because I barely talked to her that week, because I didn't have much to say without risking giving her an aneurysm across an ocean.

/good times
//worked for a whole year to pay for that trip, totally worth it

I live in Norway. fark and shiat are used in the media because they do not mean anything here. I find local 'swear' words to be hilarious if translated literally. They mean nothing to me.
 
2011-11-21 10:36:58 PM
Uh, if anyone actually bothered to RTFA all the way through, at the end she says that she probably needs to get over it.

And I have to agree with her that hearing a little kid swear like a trooper is a little jarring.

Quite reasonable, I think. Why is everyone getting their knickers in a knot?

chookbillion: Why is everyone getting their knickers in a knot?

Do you think anyone here reads the articles? Knee jerk reaction to the headline, read few posts to catch the general trend of the thread, drop an inane comment, move onto the next.

/this from the guy who posted "Bork, bork, bork" in this thread....

She's an English teacher.

I have never met an English teacher that didn't have a stick up their ass.

Yeah, I couldn't.

Because if we didn't have this thread, we might have to take a hard introspective look at the failings of our own lives.

Yes, she does. But you know Boy Farkers -- any time a (gasp!) woman speaks, she's a whiny biatch.

Read the column, dumbasses. Pay particular attention to the last line.

Or continue making pathetic fools of yourselves while we all point and laugh.

Well see, I read the entire article, then some of the comments, so i already knew that she had the name of the game wrong, and I also knew that some of the commenters told her that she SHOULD have stopped her boy from swearing like that. It's not a long article.

In other news, I watched Girl With the Dragon Tattoo the other night (in Swedish) and several of the words were in English, or close to it.

Boring article. Missleading headline. DIAF subby

Some of my favorite swears came from living in Västerås. Yelling phonetically spelled "dro oat helvete" (Go to hell) and "yavla-wheat" (F*cking sh*t) sound awesome when you don't feel like dropping an F-bomb in the states.

Also the girls there are as hot as you've all heard.

/but it's so jävla cold all the time

Becuase her blog sucks and it's our job to mock it?

That is the motto for fark right? "we don't make news, we mock it."

This is definately mockable. Although you could argue it's not news.

The Irresponsible Captain: Who decides words are "bad" anyway?

"Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untravelled, the naive, the unsophisticated, deplore these formalities as 'empty,' 'meaningless,' or 'dishonest,' and scorn to use them. No matter how pure their motives, they thereby throw sand into the machinery that does not work too well at best."

I'm sorry, but that was so poorly written I wasn't able to glean her intent from....

...writing 50 single sentence..

...paragraphs...

...because she doesn't know how to construct a compelling argument that..

...provides emphasis...

...for her key points...

...without posting every sentence on a new line.
