the best part is when you're at the airport with your elementary school wife, so you say "oh dammit i have to say the fuck b-word" at the airport and she both understands, laughs, and kicks you for saying the b-word at an airport.
I sometimes find it interesting to contemplate how best to treat swear words. One the one hand, the thing that seems most obvious to me is to just say "theyre just words to express frustration or anger at something. Those are real and valid emotions, and its silly to treat expletives like theyre morally wrong to say somehow, or like its a bad thing if children learn them, etc." On the other hand, part of the appeal to using them is that they feel at least a bit taboo, allowing a sentiment like "I feel so upset with this situation that I'm going to break this social rule to show it". If theres no taboo at all, which you get when they're used all the time and entirely casually, they no longer serve that purpose very well and people start looking for new things that feel a little bit transgressive to say. Which paradoxically implies that there isnt a point in saying them unless youre not "allowed" to say them, except they cant be too offensive to say either or they'll feel disproportionate and rude.
You're reading too much into it. It's just a word. It doesn't need to be taboo to have power. As long as everyone knows what you mean when you say it then it's a useful word.
My English teacher had a short lesson on this word. Can use it anywhere in every possible way. "Fucking fuck is fucked." "What the fuck is that fucking fuck." And be grammatically correct.
Told the class "It's an amazing word and wish we can use it normally, but don't tell anyone I taught you this."
Dude was strict too, so in his honor I say fuck everyday casue fuck it! Why the fuck not. Don't like it, fuck you. It's a fucking word, for fuck's sake... fuck.
Parmigiano Reggiano? Uh, yeah, Italians take that shit very seriously. I mean, it's illegal worldwide to name your cheese Parmigiano Reggiano unless it is made in that region under strict regulations. There's entire international treaties written about this.
Yeah, that's acknowledged at the beginning of the video.
Tangentially related, did you hear about the time the Dutch Belgians destroyed a shipment of American beer because the brand's slogan is "the champagne of beers"?
Edit: very tired.
Great question. If I understood correctly, the purchaser/importer was German in Germany, but it's unclear what the intended destination was or why they'd import that instead of selecting a domestic/EEA option.
Edit: tired.
Lol, the audacity of some cunts. Oh im from a region that makes excellent X so clearly i am the moral authority expert of the subject and you are not showing the proper respect blah blah.
Mate its fuckin cheese, like he said enjoy it how ya want (or dont in your case) and bugger off.
If i want to spread caviar on a maccas cheese burger and pair it with a french bubbly then i bloody well will, your snooty opionions wont taint my enjoyment, and you can enjoy the cheese the way you want; paired with a side of self entitlement, un-qualified judgment and a glass of your own farts to quaff.
What did happen is him removing a video where he was explaining how he made something that tasted like "parmesan", because the Parmesan lawyers sent him a cease and desist letter
edit: honestly, fuck PDOs. Or as Australia calls them, GIs (geographical indications) and CTMs (certification trade marks). They're such utter bullshit. I don't know whether they actually had legal legs to stand on with him calling it "Grana Padano–style", or if the "style" puts him legally in the clear. It's bullshit either way, but it's extra bullshit if even adding the "style" doesn't clear it.

Canopyflyer@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 208d
One of the most interesting words in the English language is the word "fuck."
It can be used as:
As a transitive verb: "John fucked Mary."
As an intransitive verb: "Mary was fucked by John."
As a noun: "Mary is a fine fuck."
As an adjective: "Mary is fucking beautiful."
It can be used as a greeting: "How the fuck are you?"
Surprise: "FUCK! You scared the shit out of me."
Anxiety: "The day is really fucked."
It can even be used as nearly every word in a sentence: "Fuck the fucking fuckers."
KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 208d
The "intransitive" verb form is still transitive, just expressed in the passive voice
"Fuck" can be used as an intransitive verb though: "John fucks"
