Give a Damn!

OH, the drama… Унесённые ветром. Reminds me, I found a Liberty Dime in my penny jar today, like from 1941. Maybe I should give damn or a dime, it might be worth it.

Let’s be frank… :lol: Dame :razz: Knew boyfriend…little shit…sam hell…

Dear Marina,
I enjoyed learning the connection between damn and damage. To answer you question, though I have seen many movies, Gone wtih the Wind has not been one of them. I am a big fan of Lina Wertmuller and Charle Chaplin.

Why are you calling the man “Rat”? His name is Rhett.

Sad, too sad for words. The classics are classics for a reason.

LOL, I loved the end!

But, I don’t understand. “I don’t give a damn” = “I donn’t give a curse”?
is it a derogatory term?

I like “I don’t give a F**k” better, it’s more direct and to the point :p

Homework: something I use quite(sp?) often “Holy balls”

And now that you mention it, quite literally. How about the phrase {I don’t give a fuck}

mayhaps it’s an accent?

Da. Verovatno.

I’m still trying to figure out what happened to the Ferrari. Wow, Norman must not be half as bad as he’s made out to be to pull you back from the depths of les so quickly. Does this mean there isn’t an army of fembot secretaries yet? Damn. Well… How dramatic.

My fatal flaw is I do give a damn or I never invest my precious time in the first place, but the status quo hooman relationship behavior standard for most people seems so low and meaningless I don’t really the point. Just time wasted and worth debased in the absence of true love, but such is life.

Forever cursed by this game, he who plays with sin
Incantations summoned up our creations

We’re players cast in this tale, believe it
stranger than fiction
This justice thunders our condemnation

Falling into innocence by a shadow’s kiss
He speaks what mortals dare to say, will he betray?

If you dare play the game – your descent preordained
from their fiery thrones screaming,
cursing your name
On the terror it breeds – breathing fire and gree
watch him jest as you bleed…
Screaming enter the Damnation Game

We can not keep our heads clear,
or our tongues from evil
by this sword, certain death at our own hands

To have no wants is divine – untrue!
platinum waves tainted gold, we can only watch from
the shores

Falling into innocence by a shadow’s kiss
He speaks what mortals dare to say, will he betray?

If you dare play the game – your descent preordained

cursing your name
On the terror it breeds – breathing fire and gree

If you dare play the game -

Since we are talking about cursewords.. {I would like to know the origin of the word “f*ck” }.. There are stories circulating that it means Fornicating under command of the king (after the plagues).. and a few others but I doubt they are true..

When I was little the word “crap” was often considered a bad word. Well, it can be used as slang for feces.

Oh, speaking of a classic movie that used the word “damn”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31QUOUxqz2M

Yep, that phrase pretty much sums it all up.

….such an attitude with the “I don’t give a fucks.” :lol: :lol:

Homework: I’ve seen Gone with the wind and to be frank it was pretty damn boring! It’s way too long. I think the word “ass” used to be considered a swear word but it’s used in common place today.
An example in common place today would be: Wow Marina! you got a nice ass. :mrgreen:
:oops: or Gee Marina, you’ll probably kick my ass for that comment. ;-)

P.S. It’s good to see a detailed etymology again in the lessons :smile:
Thank you Marina, you’re the best. :cool:

My Dear Rastafarian Teacher,

Saw the flick.

And I agree, Very pretty hair.
Trying to think of the name of the bow wow that has that type of hair.

Homework Answer: I was watching it last night! I get a kick out of the scene where Atlanta burns… :mrgreen:
“Give a hoot! Don’t pollute.”

Watch your pottymouth, young lady, or one should wash your mouth out with soap. I laughed, anyway.

Homework: I enjoyed the film, The Scarlet Pimpernel about an 18th century superhero. During the film, Sir Percy Blakeney often used the idiom, Sink me!. I though it was a sexual remark, but it turns out that it was an English curse, short for “Sink me to the devil!” especially popular among sailors.

As is typical with American movies: The book is much better and quite funny at times. Same with Dr. Zhivago: book is much, much better than American movie.

Dear Miss “Poodle-do”,
Next time you see that guy tell him to stop calling you Frankly.
BTW, that hair-do is {“for the birds”}.

The ending cracked me up :lol: You made me laugh and that’s hard to do.

You’re quite the comedian. You need your own sit-com. ;-)

Dear HFW Community,
I noticed an article on the BBC web site called ‘Are dying languages worth saving?’ The journalist talked about what keeps a language alive. He makes several references to some languages in the UK. The link is http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-11304255. I hope you enjoy the article. What is your opinion?
Yours,

:lol: Marina ftw :lol: :grin:

Sod git fuck

My dear rastafarian teacher! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dear Marina,
Thank you for another wonderful video. Yes, I saw the movie, “Gone with the wind.” I took a date and it was such a sad movie (they were losing the war, the farms and plantations were destroyed, the world as she knew it was coming to an end, then Rhett leaves her), so she was crying. So I told her “It’s only a movie. It isn’t real.” So she hit me (“Ow!”) and then I felt like crying, too. :cry:
I enjoyed the costume and wig you wore for this video. (They really didn’t dress like that, did they?) If you remove that big pin in front of your dress, does it help? :mrgreen: Someday, I hope you will show videos in 3D. I’d watch your low-cut dress very carefully. :razz:
If you’d stop calling Rhett “Rat”, maybe he’ll stop calling you “Frankly.” :smile:
Girls who play with their hair should be force to wash and clean it, later. :idea:
Another hint: Never smile at a date after watching the movie, “Psycho.” :twisted:

Marina! That is the worst thumbnail ever! Whats with the double door? Don’t think I haven’t noticed the use of the worlds best image editor (mspaint) on the wall either! Love you :grin:

“Language is the dress of thought,” Samuel Johnson once said. :smile:

I enjoyed the article!

marina, another excellent video!!! thank You ! so funny the wig thing!!

Yes… the long hair (irregardless of color) is “the shit” :cool:

p.s. {irregardless} is not a word?

I don’t give a damn, I don’t give a shit !
Slang uses mostly religious and sexual terminology. Politics could be also included but slang is older than political rights, as old as sex and religion !
In French we say “Je n’en ai rien à foutre” and it means “I don’t give a fuck”.
If the movie were French I supposed it would be the locution used by the actor because nowadays FOUTRE in French is still slang but it’s real meaning has been forgotten. FOUTRE comes from Latin FUTERE “ёбать” :mrgreen:

r u jealous of Zerubbabel :cry: :cry:

you’d better don’t use the word ебать :lol:
to be honest, there is not a presentable word for it in Russian, only slang
and vulgar words. That why we use an American expression “make love” (Заниматься любовью) There is a Russian verb “love” (любить) but it has not a sex definition, rather it had not the sex definition, because after “make love” came into Russian, it has.
p.s.
it’s punishable to use bad Russian words, in Russia, but I can use foreign ones freely :lol: {paradox}

If language has no good books, writers, poets today, it may die tomorrow. If people want to save their language, if they need it, they do it. They speak, sing and write.
Natural selection, this is my opinion.
Of course, all the dying languages must be kept in a safe place, just in case.

Hello everyone,how are you doing?Thank you so much for the new lesson on give a damn.I liked your portrayal of the movie Gone with the wind,you tell em Marina I don’t give a F*ck!I also liked your part about psycho! One of my favorite horror films! You are going to date Norman Bates,good luck with that,he may love you to death :mrgreen: This was a very good lesson,and I gave thumbs up on Youtube! Marina keep up the good work,and may you and all my classmates have a wonderful day,or night depending where you live!Peace and serenity to you all! You guys are the best,thank you so much for all your friendships,and kindness you all have shown me!I will be forever thankful for all this being possible,thank you Marina for creating Hot For Words!So long for now,hopefully some of you give me a holler back,when you get the chance :!: :cool: :smile: P.S.I never watched Gone With The Wind,but it’s such a classic,that I just heard from word of mouth.Goodbye for now!

Marina! Uhmm, I mean Scarlett. Fabulous video! Even more so because I am in India right now. I’ll do a little background research here on the old Mughal coin known as a “dam”. Though it isn’t the origin of the phrase those Mughals were an interesting bunch. After all, one of them (Shah Jehan) built that ultimate monument to love, the Taj Mahal. Cheers, Q

‘er…nice lesson, ‘cept for your foul mouth. southern women are genteel, ya know…

and what’s up with using the US coin & not the dam coin? :mrgreen:

… and also tell that guy you are not “his deer” or “a deer”… and tell the old {wind bag} he should go {fly a kite}.

I loved your your video and the expression “Give a Damn”. I probably do not use it a lot but it sure emphasizes when you want to express something. Your hair is quite a “wig” — but it de-emphasizes the story!!!

Rhett didn’t sound angry when he said “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”, he sounded rather disinterested, which is apropos, and what the film director wanted.

And for something totally off topic,
here’s a short lesson in particle physics from
c^e^r^n

This is a link to a photograph of me on the right and on the left is the late Fred Crane who played the part of Brent Tarleton in the movie, Gone with the Wind, taken at his daughter’s house on Christmas day, 1988.

http://videosoundgroup.com/images/fredCrane.jpg

I see that Janet Leigh’s character from Phycho was named Marion Crane and the actual name for a GWTW actor was Fred Crane. What a coincidence that Marina used characters from both movies, or was it?

I find it interesting that the state controls speech. Did this come about after religion was reinstated in Russia, or an old custom? How does one know what words are prohibited if it is prohibited to say them in the first place?

Metal, full on. :evil: :cool:

What about damn and damnation?

Something funny in Russian I am thinking about : МАТЕРИТЬСЯ means “to swear” and means litterally “to mother” because ЁБ’ ТВОЮ МАТЬ ! “fuck thy mother!” is often used and МАТЁРЫЙ ВОЛК “dire wolf” for “motherlike wolf” must have an influence.
Imagine an English speaker, a mother saying to her kid “stop mothering” ! :mrgreen:
Every language has its “style” : In French we say MERDE “shit” all the time like in English but also PUTAIN “курва” like in Russian. I would say French makes the bridge between English and Russian.
Please feel free to ask me any slang word or expression. I love it. Курва !!! :mrgreen:

The state not controls the speech,
in a nutshell, Russian has some more f-words and it is rudely and ill-mannered to use them in public places and in the presence of ladies. You can be punished not as a criminal but as hooligan. It is like to put your garbage in a wrong place, you can do it but you can get a money penalty.
I don’t know why those words are bad, like you don’t know why f-word is bad.
It’s fun, there is the article in the Offences Code of Russia that gives the penalty for foul language in the public places but this article has not a list of the bad words.

The next time the 222 happens (or something equally odd) pay attention for the next 5 or 10 minutes and the reason will present itself to you.
Ok? I think you have been seeing the 222, get excited, take a picture, look to see how the picture came out, then start a tweet about the 222…
And while you are doing all of this… the reason (whatever it may be) went right by unnoticed (this is why another attempt is made, you get excited and miss the reason again).
The reason will usually show in under 5 minutes or the cause happened 5 minutes before you see it.

It happens to me all the time. I just bought something for lunch at a deli (not fixed price) and it was…
777 I’ve been seeing a lot of ones and elevens doubled also… 11.11

If you figure / find out why you are seeing it I will explain in detail how it works (it’s something with physics).

[Click to Edit]   (2 minutes and 22 seconds)

I just realized that both lead actresses from the movies, Gone with the Wind and Psycho, had the same surname, Leigh, Janet Leigh and Vivien Leigh. How many more similarities are there? Could there be a diabolical connection to 222?

I used to think I was growing a thin Rhett Butler style moustache in high school long long ago!

What about “I don’t give a rat’s ass”?

My Dad told me years ago that the expression came from “I don’t give a tinker’s dam.” He said a tinker’s dam was a little bridge made of dried clay that kept melted metal from running out of the channels of a mold.

Hello PageDoll, how have you been?I haven’t seen you for awhile! Thank you so much for your reply! I didn’t know you liked metal,but glad you do! Thank you for stopping by my friend,it’s always good to have someone respond to your posts!May you enjoy your day! Peace :!: :cool: :smile:

Forsooth, I am convinced that your field of knowledge is metal.. But whatcha think ’bout this one?

Not sure if it can be considered metal at all, but heck, it’s always good to have everybody’s advice on something before making an opinion.

Here’s the stuff. What a piece of bodywork, right? DoTa. Is it good at all, or is it possessed by an infinite insatiable taste for mediocrity? Whatcha think?

Gee, I am so excited I can’t refrain myself from complimenting you one more time.. Your metallic knowledge is absolutely impressive.

My grandfather had given me coins like the ones you’re showing. I liked the imagery better than pennies, so I used them in my penny loafers. My mother and I were just talking about “Gone With The Wind”. She said it was the first time she ever made it through it. My favorite line is “I don’t know nothing about birthin’ no babies!” My aunt said whenever she hears the title it reminds her of when her daughter came out of the theater after watching in Conn. she was rapped by some Ivy Leaguers. Homework: I’ve pretty much only have seen spoofs and bits and pieces of the movie.(I pretty much only have a YooToob attention span) What the Fuck used to be pretty vulgar but has become common place as “WTF”.

Hi Marina
Another great educational show. It’s always a pleasure watching you perform.

My understanding is that the original expression was “I don’t give a tinker’s curse”, with the understanding that a tinker or Irish traveller did not have the true powers of cursing that a travelling gypsy would have.
In the 17th and 18th century gypsies were feared people who were reputed to dabble in black magic and child abduction and if you were to be damned or sent to damnation by them was real source of terror for the average English citizen.
Irish travellers on the other hand were seen as outside of society, poor and weak, they were generally scorned and the low cost ‘tinware’ that they peddled helped to promulgate their poor status as well as give them their generic name.
In the region of England that I come from the expression “I don’t give a tinker’s (curse)” is still frequently used as a sign of defiance or denial.

Dear Marina,
I have a quote in regards to your new script. It comes from Freud’s ‘Jokes and their relation to the Unconscious’ p. 31 of the Norton Library Edition.
“If one enquires from a youthful patient whether he has ever had anything to do with masturbation, the answer is sure to be: ‘O na, nie!’ (trans. Oh, no, never!)”
Yours,

Oh ya! When people ask me what kind of music I like I tell ‘em, “From Slayer to Sinatra”. However, I can’t recall the 1st time I heard Frank Sinarta but I Vividly remember where, when, and what I was doing the 1st time I heard Slayer. The fist time I saw them live the entire floor of the San Diego sports arena turned into a giant, slow circling mosh pit with a mountain of chairs in the middle. That was some monsters of rock tour in the early 90s.
Slayer, Megadeath, Anthrax and some other band I can’t remember. Heres a good one, I forgot the tickets!! Yep, had to drive all the way back home(30 miles 1 way) to get ‘em and got to my seat as the lights were dimmed for Slayer…the last band. :roll: Waaay too much pre-party!! :mrgreen:

yea…after viewing your reliable news source, all I have to say is STFU

how about {screwed the pooch}

Damn, he really {screwed the pooch} on that one

Concerning Onan…my first guess would be ” masturbation” , however , technically, the Bible only records that he spilled his seed on the ground, which could mean that he just pulled out, a term that would be ” coitus interruptus “. My second guess would be the word ” intercourse “.

“If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can’t it get us out?” ” – Will Rogers 1879-1935
:lol: from todays HotForWords QUOTE

In brief, when Judah sent his son Onan to impregnate his dead brother’s wife Tamar, he committed coitus interruptus and spilled his semen to avoid conception. Yahweh was not pleased and killed him. From this story, onanism has become synonymous with masturbation and coitus interruptus. …MARINA tweeted—I’m writing a script for a new video that involves Onan of Judah.

Any idea what the word is? M A S T u R B A T E/net worth :lol:

Though Onan hasn’t been accused of homosexuality, the act of spilling semen stretches to homosexuality. In sum, religionists have applied the story of Onan to practically every form of male non-procreative sex.
:arrow: :???:
But most of all, Onan’s curse supported a widespread fear of masturbation, primarily in the 1700s and 1800s. It was believed by doctors of theology and medicine to lead to mental and general health illnesses, like vomiting, nausea, indigestion, epilepsy, pimples, blindness and insanity..

my new song is out:

it’s metal. i don’t take it serious.

On reflection there is another old English phrase still in common use that would fit the bill as the progenitor of Brett’s callous remark.
“I don’t give a tupenny (two-penny) damn”.
This phrase comes from the old practice of selling both blessings and curses outside English cathedrals.
Once upon a time tupence was a lot of money and a tupenny damn was a potent curse on your enemy. As time degraded money through inflation a damn at this price became a joke or a contemptuous sneer.
Was a dam worth two pennies in the US? – it would explain the name given to the coin.

what’s so bad about that ass anyways?

Hi Marina :grin:
FINALLY got a chance to watch this video. Been helping a guy start up his own small business. Busy, but fun. Great vid. You would have blown Vivien Leigh out of the water. Loved the after credits ‘gag reel.’ Especially the impression of a Hoochie Mama with the “I don’ give a fu3k” part.
When I was a wee lad of ten or so, I saw Gone With the Wind at the now gone Circle Theater in Indianapolis. At nearly four hours, it was a bit past my young attention span, but there was one thing that I remember as if it happened yesterday. When Gable had his first closeup, literally EVERY woman in the packed house sighed collectively, as if on cue. On the way home, my Aunt Betty said that if they dug Gable up that very night, he’d still be sexy. I was skeptical.
Someone probably already mentioned this, but the one word that truly baffles me is the mainstream acceptance of the word “sucks.” Not offended, just surprised at the frequency of its use on TV shows and commercials. The Suck-O-Meter on the Nicorette commercials is a hoot. I’m NO prude, but has it been forgotten that it’s a reference to the act of fellatio? If the voice over said “Quitting fellates. Nicorette makes it fellate less,” would it still be okay? Just askin’.

Apart from pagedoll and a few others is there anyone on here I actually know anymore?

Dear Marina,
In my continual efforts to make you richer, I went to a 7-11 Store and bought a bottle of Neuro-Slim and a bottle of Neuro-Gasm. They weren’t cheap, at $2.49 each, plus bottle deposit, plus California Sales Tax! :shock: Each contained 14.5 fluid ounces. As I drank the Neuro-Slim, I visualized my fat melting away, and my waistline getting smaller; but on the next day, there were no measurable rests! :???:
As I drank the Neuro-Gasm, I wondered “Why do I need this?” “It would be more exciting to watch a new video from Marina!” :mrgreen:
Anyway, I hope they sell very well, so they can afford to be genorous to you, one of their best advertisers! :mrgreen:

watch them at youtube! :cool:
there is also a fan-shirt from my band. i think i should buy the first exemplar for me!

the video tells that marina is attracted to older and to younger guys. for me it sounds very pius.
pius means:
a pius child will listen to the advised of the adults.
a pius aduld will work for the childs and old humans, who are not able to work.
and a pius old person would not care to die, to make space for the new humans, who want to live on the earth.

i have a song of a german punk band on my mind, it goes:
“und wenn du dann die stadt verlässt
auf deinem letzten weg
fällt hinter dir schon sanft der erste schnee.”

translation:
and when you leave the city
on your last way
will behind you fall slight(tenderly) the first snow.

Rolling Stones – Like A Rolling Stone

Cool Pink Floyd song!SO how are you doing Smokey Lightfoot? Hope you enjoy your day, Peace :!: :cool: :smile:

Hello Samuel,how are you doing today?I love the Rolling Stones,that was a cool song! SO I hope to see you later. Peace!

Probably the most famous example of the Russian “матерный язык”:

‘Охуели? Нахуя дохуя хуйний нахуярили? Расхуяривай нахуй!’
‘Хули? Нихуя! Нехуй расхуяривать! Нахуячено нехуёво! Похуярили!’

Every word in the dialogue is a derivative of the word ‘хуй’ – ‘a dick’.

охуеть – to go nuts
нахуя? – why the fuck?
дохуя – a lot
хуйня – crap, shit (something bad or without any value)
нахуярить – to fill excessively
расхуяривать – to destroy, to smash
нахуй – away from here (or “to hell with this”)
хули – what the fuck/why the fuck
нихуя! – no way!
нехуй – there’s no need
нахуячено – it has been filled
нехуёво – quite well
похуярить – to go, to move on

So, in the Russian language every swear word has a lot of derivatives with various meanings. Swearing in Russian – it’s like poetry!

Don’t look at it that way :mrgreen:

Dog With Longest Tongue In World

James,

Yours is a sad lament which I share. Though, as ChaCha notes, I don’t think it’s new students (a truly wonderful thing!) versus the old timers.

Your message caused me to browse some older HFW videos and the comments to them. Beer (10/6/08) inspired pennsyltuck9′s litany of great brews and a fun ensuing debate. Mischievous (3/6/08) and Halloween (10/18/07) provoked a ping-pong match of back-and-forth commentary from so many: johnscottromnie (an English teacher?), annudermale, ChaCha, LeoNard, Prospero, & CheVolay to mention a few. My favorite might be the spare 44 comments to Oxymoron (11/21/07) each one funny, apt and intelligent.

I’ve been off the site for a few months and only returned last week. Sometimes an absence permits us to see the huge effect over time of gradual incremental change. What has happened to our class? Marina’s lessons have evolved so much (always charming, humorous and clever her work is also now sophisticated and elegantly produced – it’s remarkable. Brava!). Meanwhile, much of the commentary from our class has devolved into a stream of gibberish blog drivel. I adore diverse points of view expressed with sharp, irreverent and spicy words; but that’s not what appears on these pages now. Our teacher has left her class in the dust.

ya, you french should leave frogs alone, anyway. D:

High level, civil and intelligent conversation? Are you sure you’re in the right place, bertrandr1872? I think the important stuff is not to succeed or not. Not to minimize the trivial and maximize the important. What may seem trivial to you may be very important to others. And vice versa. The important is to be who you are. And the trivial is to act like someone you are not. Be who you are, and you’ll end up where you belong. Act like someone you aren’t, and you’ll end up in a strange place surrounded by strange people and strange things you don’t understand.

error !

We frogs usually screw chimps and not the countrary :-) Last week in France a man has been caught by the police raping a goat. But I don’t know if the goat was his or even willing to have sex with him. The police did not ask the goat :mrgreen:

can that goat thing really be called “rape”?
oh well. whatever. everybody’s got their likes and dislikes. i don’t judge.

I’m still here. :-)

I’ve been a bit busy, but I atleast check out every single article/video/photo/tweet to keep up to date. Sometimes I even have time to the read the comments. I’m sure many people are the same.

How have you been ?

Dear neuroway,
Of course people be themselves. But I still believe that conversation can be, but isn’t always, high level, civil and intelligent.
If someone says, ‘F*ck your mamma’, I woulld generally not label that civil discourse. It is true that there is room for some individual and cultural differences for what counts as civil. In the chinese culture, too many ‘please’, ‘thank you’, ‘yes sir’, yes ma’m', etc. are considered too formal and put offish. Close friends are far more direct. But even in China, ‘f*ck your mama’ is considered rude and uncivil.
If there is a conversation about an ongoing war where women and children are being raped en masse, and someone starts talking about a hand nail that they had a year ago, I don’t think that their hang nail can be considered as important. I will grant you that there are some people who will say that their hang nail is more important to them than said on going war. I would respectfully claim that, even if their hang nail is more important to them, it is not more important over all.
The same could be said in science. My own area of expertise is the history of psychology. Rudolph Hermann Lotze (1817-1881) sometimes gets mentioned by historians of psycholgy. Even a fan of Lotze like myself would not say that Lotze is more important in the history of psychology than Rene DesCartes (1896-1650). That would be simply wrong. If someone in my field were to argue that Lotze is less important than Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776-1841), that would be a point which is a matter of personal taste.
Some objectivity can be found even in the arts. Harold Bloom wrote a book called ‘The Western Canon’ in which he details which works of literature are objectively the best from which we judge the others.
By exposing oneself to the great works of science and art, one can begin to understand what are the great issues of life. (By ‘life’ I include science, math, philosophy, art,literature etc.)
Of couse a peson should be who they are, but a person can shape who they are by deliberately putting themselves in a particular environment. One can mould one’s character just as a sculpter moulds a piece of clay.
What environment do you choose for yourself? Do you like how that environment affects who you are? What other options are there for who you could be and other environments to bring you closer those other options? Most people have not had much exposure to various options of who they could be and most people take there environment for granted.
My being in the HFW environment and doing what I can to promote high level, civil and intelligent discourse is partly an attempt to put myself in an environment to shape my character closer to what I want it to be.
Yours,
Larry
AKA BertrandR1872

Bertrand,

Once again, I must concede that you are absolutely right. The people you mention, talking about their hangnail, are shallow and selfish. Nevertheless, to them, their hangnail is more important than a war where women and children are raped en masse. And that’s an absolute certainty. By causal inference, such people can probably look better if they are honest with themselves and with others, and don’t act like they care. That way, they’ll end up being surrounded by other people as selfish and as shallow as themselves. And won’t end up in a social circle where they don’t belong.

And vice versa, of course.

I wish you the best in shaping your character like you want it to be. And my guess is that it is going to be for the better and not the worse. :smile:

:lol: her is info copied from Wikipedia—Topology (from the Greek τόπος, “place”, and λόγος, “study”) is a major area of mathematics concerned with spatial properties that are preserved under continuous deformations of objects, for example, deformations that involve stretching, but no tearing or gluing. It emerged through the development of concepts from geometry and set theory, such as space, dimension, and transformation.

Ideas that are now classified as topological were expressed as early as 1736. Toward the end of the 19th century, a distinct discipline developed, which was referred to in Latin as the geometria situs (“geometry of place”) or analysis situs (Greek-Latin for “picking apart of place”). This later acquired the modern name of topology. By the middle of the 20th century, topology had become an important area of study within mathematics.

:arrow: also some more—[{MAPS}] are only retained in the brAIn—

In the mathematical field of topology, a homeomorphism or topological isomorphism or bicontinuous function (from the Greek words ὅμοιος (homoios) = similar and μορφή (morphē) = shape, form) is a continuous function between two topological spaces that has a continuous inverse function. Homeomorphisms are the isomorphisms in the category of topological spaces — that is, they are the mappings which preserve all the topological properties of a given space. Two spaces with a homeomorphism between them are called homeomorphic, and from a topological viewpoint they are the same.

НЕТ ЛЕТ

Светлане Харрис
«Нет
лет…» —
вот что кузнечики стрекочут нам в ответ
на наши страхи постаренья
и пьют росу до исступленья,
вися на стеблях на весу
с алмазинками на носу,
и каждый —
крохотный зелененький поэт.

«Нет
лет…» —
вот что звенит,
как будто пригоршня монет,
в кармане космоса дырявом горсть планет,
вот что гремят, не унывая,
все недобитые трамваи,
вот что ребячий прутик пишет на песке,
вот что, как синяя пружиночка,
чуть-чуть настукивает жилочка
у засыпающей любимой на виске.

Нет
лет.
Мы все,
впадая сдуру в стадность,
себе придумываем старость,
но что за жизнь,
когда она — самозапрет?
Копни любого старика
и в нем найдешь озорника,
а женщины немолодые —
все это девочки седые.
Их седина чиста, как яблоневый цвет.

Нет
лет.
Есть только чудные и страшные мгновенья.
Не надо нас делить на поколенья.
Всепоколенийность —
вот гениев секрет.
Уронен Пушкиным дуэльный пистолет,
а дым из дула смерть не выдула
и Пушкина не выдала,
не разрешив ни умереть,
ни постареть.

Нет
лет.
А как нам быть,
негениальным,
но все-таки многострадальным,
чтобы из шкафа,
неодет,
с угрюмым грохотом обвальным,
грозя оскалом тривиальным,
не выпал собственный скелет?
Любить.
Быть вечным во мгновении.
Все те, кто любят,—
это гении.

Нет
лет
для всех Ромео и Джульетт.
В любви полмига —
полстолетия.
Полюбите —
не постареете —
вот всех зелененьких кузнечиков совет.
Есть
весть,
и не плохая, а благая,
что существует жизнь другая,
но я смеюсь,
предполагая,
что сотня жизней не в другой, а в этой есть
и можно сотни раз отцвесть
и вновь расцвесть.

Нет
лет.
Не сплю,
хотя давно погас в квартире свет
и лишь поскрипывает дряхлый табурет:
«Нет
лет…
нет
лет…»

Memento
Yevgeny Yevtushenko

Like a reminder of this life
of trams, sun, sparrows,
and the flighty uncontrolledness
of streams leaping like thermometers,
and because ducks are quacking somewhere
above the crackling of the last, paper-thin ice,
and because children are crying bitterly
(remember children’s lives are so sweet!)
and because in the drunken, shimmering starlight
the new moon whoops it up,
and a stocking crackles a bit at the knee,
gold in itself and tinged by the sun,
like a reminder of life,
and because there is resin on tree trunks,
and because I was madly mistaken
in thinking that my life was over,
like a reminder of my life -
you entered into me on stockinged feet.
You entered – neither too late nor too early -
at exactly the right time, as my very own,
and with a smile, uprooted me
from memories, as from a grave.
And I, once again whirling among
the painted horses, gladly exchange,
for one reminder of life,
all its memories.

1974

Hmm, the bit about “give a dam” deriving from the name of a small Indian coin sounded suspiciously like a “LossForWords Phractured Philology Lesson.” Have I been a bad influence? :razz:

Poor doggies! :sad:

By the way, that’s what the Welsh call a Cancún, “Song of Dogs.” :mrgreen:

Miguel Hernández – Los cobardes

En el corazón son liebres,
gallinas en las entrañas,
galgos de rápido vientre,
que en épocas de paz ladran
y en épocas de cañones
desaparecen del mapa.

…

Valientemente se esconden,
gallardamente se escapan
del campo de los peligros
estas fugitivas cacas,
que me duelen hace tiempo
en los cojones del alma.

¿Dónde iréis que no vayáis
a la muerte, liebres pálidas,
podencos de poca fe
y de demasiadas patas?
¿No os avergьenza mirar
en tanto lugar de España
a tanta mujer serena
bajo tantas amenazas?
Un tiro por cada diente
vuestra existencia reclama,
cobardes de piel cobarde
y de corazón de caña.
Tembláis como poseídos
de todo un siglo de escarcha
y vais del sol a la sombra
llenos de desconfianza.

Hi Marina, how was your day?
Recall watching Gone with the wind, at my Grandparents some time ago. Their favourite film, always on a Sunday, after being allowed to watch, Monkey Magic. Nana with a box of tissues, Grand-pops with his weezy asthma chest, especially when he laughed! It did go one for a while too, plus everyone fell asleep half way through it! Changing the channel was risky business. Amazing how some can watch with their eyes closed!

Sorry, to hear about your x just walking out on you like that. What a shmuck! Norman looks cool enough, you seem to like him too. Have you met his Mother yet? Certain she is wanting to meet up with you. Meeting the parents has always been, interesting, in the past. Fathers never approve and Mothers can’t do enough. Awkward silences, dry throats asking to pass the salt and pepper, knocking things all over the table, onto laps, onto floors, hoovered up by the dog as all wave manically serviettes clearing the mess, breaking more things from trying to do good! Good impression! Good to leave heading quickly for a McDonalds!

Hair is, funky too

That is interesting, who placed Miguel Hernández on the Russian webhosting with no translation? Translation would not be an obstacle for development. :smile:

“Asturianos de braveza,
vascos de piedra blindada,
valencianos de alegría
y castellanos de alma,”

todos hablan un español muy diferente del mexicano que hablamos aquí. :razz:

True — Spaniards are hard to understand, for someone who learned Mexican Spanish. :wink:

“Los bueyes mueren vestidos
de humildad y olor de cuadra:
las águilas, los leones
y los toros de arrogancia,
y detrás de ellos, el cielo
ni se enturbia ni se acaba.”

Me figuraba que usted iba a encontrar estas lineas interesantes, señor Owen. :smile:

Perhaps someone possessed by a will shaped by war? :smile:

You sure have lovely hair!
And i do give a damn for your lessons!
Pouty kisses!

Exactly what I ‘learned’ years ago … forget the source … but I recall explaining it to my mother. The litte clay dam was worthless once used. Hence the phrase.

Let’s see…”My little hunnie bunch.” “Hun, will you take out the trash?” “Hi hun, how was work?” “Hun, I want a BMW.” “Don’t stay out to late, hun.” “Hi hunnie, where have you been?” “So hun, were you out with your little hunnie?” “Listen hun, I want a divorce.” I guess it was my nickname. I discovered African music through reggae, a lot of different styles. This is actually the first song I ever heard. I don’t give a damn :smile: if you have the blood, I think it’s all in the “soul”. ;-) I did know two “huns”-Greta and Uli.
