I got called a "cuck fuck" the other day. Why? Because I stopped some woman who was probably high on pot from jumping through a fare gate right after me. Then she tried to chat me up on the platform (no idea how she got through the fare gate), but thankfully she was catching a different train than I was.

"Cuck" as far as I can tell is one of those words that are used to let others know that the user is a complete dickhead and you can just ignore anything more they might have to say.  Kinda like the word "feminazi".  It's awfully nice of douche morons to use these handy catch words to save us time having to listen to their bullshit, letting us switch-off early instead.

It verbally lets those in earshot know the user is drenched in Axe body spray.

I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.

That's how a real man smells.  Only cucks use anything else, or wash.

People who use expressions derived from English when writing in Finnish. Specially if you are a fucking journalist. Using such shorthands instead of coming up with a Finnish expression is lazy writing and you can't assume all the readers are aware of the connotations the English equivalent of a given word has. This probably is a symptom of the way web journalism works: the quantity of stories compromises the quality. Instead of one well written story you get several short, quickly written ones as a situation develops.

"omistaja ei osta anteeksipyyntöä" = "the owner does not buy the apology". That sentence does not make any fucking sense unless you translate it into English in your mind. You cannot use the Finnish verb "ostaa" (to buy) this way.

(The article is about a sports club firing an employee because of a homophobic tweet.)

Whistling firecrackers.

The high-pitched whistle is bad enough, but then you're sitting there waiting and waiting for an explosion that never comes.

Almost as bad are the ones that explode without any whistle.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

"Nazism is just one form of Socialism" NO IT IS NOT! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?

"Mumble mumble gobberment is evil and if it wasn't for government regulations then the free market would fix all our problems." No. No! NO! We have seen what free market does and there is no magical "Invisible hand" that would make the companies act for the betterment of everyone.

EDIT: for the record, those were from separate discussions on FB. The first one was from a debate over why women's clothes don't have proper pockets. ...So naturally it was mainly men talking about what kinds of clothes women want to wear and debate over the merits of capitalism. There was one woman there but like me she was mainly in it to discuss capitalism.

In all honesty, women get seriously shafted when it comes to clothes, its fucking insane.  Trying to find something as simple as a regular, sensible shirt can be an exercise in frustration, depending on where you live.

GODDAMNIT! I didn't expect both of those annoyances to have continued past the night. Like the one dude who thinks that capitalism fixes everything has now been explaining it's exactly women's own damn fault if they have been encouraging markets to only make pocketless clothing and they should just sew their own clothes if they don't like it... And the other group is now laughing how socialists are triggered when someone mentions that Nazis were national SOCIALISTS because they don't like the truth...

I think I know what you mean, but can you expand a little?

I was referring to SCarpe's umbrage towards really awkward Anglicisms in Finnish journalism, which I completely sign off on.

I am debating about a proposed futuristic weapon system for the Canadian military and someone comes in and complains that you can't aim through the the sights while reloading and therefore the weapon is no good.

I ask him why the heck is this important and he starts talking about SMLEs, "The Mad Minute" and other WW1 trivia...

He was literally using 100 years old tactics as an argument against a bullpup assault rifle & grenade launcer combo (with optional shotgun) combination weapon.

There should be some kind of law or at least widely recognized code that if you try to argue against modern technology by using concepts that were created for 100 years older technology then you are automatically disqualified.

"But you see, the German triplanes were clearly superiour to the biplanes that British used and therefore the F-35 should have THREE sets of wings."

Black Friday sales. Yeah. We don't even celebrate Thanksgiving but the businesses have started having Black Friday sales. An IT store in a nearby mall had a fucking pre Black Friday sale a week ago.

We luckily don't have the insane and lethal stampedes but let's wait a decade or two of this and we'll see how things are then.

My best friend works in a Toys R Us. I should probably check in with him and see if he made it out OK.
