Last Saturday, I decided to impress my friends with my culinary skills by making a homemade salsa for our taco night. I chopped up a mountain of fresh veggies and dumped in what I thought was a generous handful of jalapeños, feeling like a spice master. As I served it up, I confidently told everyone, “This will knock your socks off!” The first taste test revealed that my salsa was more like a light summer breeze than an explosive flavor bomb. Apparently, my “generous” handful barely registered on the heat meter.
Instead of turning red and sweating profusely as I imagined everyone would, my friends just smirked, passing around the extra hot sauce like it was ketchup. One friend dramatically flipped it back and forth, dubbing it “the salsa for sensitive souls.” As we doused everything in fiery sauce, I realized my culinary reputation was now at risk, and I could hear the jabs: “Next time, we go green chili hunting!” Guess my spice game needs a little more heat before they’ll believe I’m an actual chef!
B
That was the most adorable “dang” I ever heard.
A
^dng
T
I love it 😍
N
Asked for permission too so most adorable and *polite* dang.
F
I wish I could hear his ^(“d\*mn it”)
R
was well savored
S
I was wholeheartedly expecting a ‘dang, look at that fuckin’ snake’
T
Fully what I was expecting! And then a dad in the background laughing while the mum freaks out!
A
“Mind your DAMNNNNNNN MUTHA FUCKIN BUSINESS BITCH!” energy
A
Long-titty no-nipple havin’ ass bitch
U
Oh!!!! He said you ain’t got no nipples!!!!!
I
I expected, “Dang, look at that little fucker” or something
S
My daughter when she was 3 was getting into the car and slipped on the ice. She goes “it’s fuckin’ slippery.” My wife and I laughed for like 10 mins straight.
O
Fully expected “dang, that’s a fugging big snake”
G
No motherfucking snakes in my motherfucking stroller.
L
“Say dang for snake?” “Yeah you can say dang” “That’s one big motherfucking dang”
G
Gopher snakes and their subspecies (also known as bull snakes or pine snakes) can get huge. Up to 7ft long. One of the largest colubrids in North America. Nonvenomous and essentially harmless (they rarely bite and when they do, it’s like just a cluster of pinpricks). But they will flatten out and hiss with this big mouth open display when threatened and shake their tails in the leaf litter which can sound like a rattlesnake, so they get a bad rap unfortunately. They’re beautiful and fascinating animals.
T
My daughter has been testing her swear limits. “What the kittens?” Is my personal favorite.
M
My roommate used to say “fart monkeys” moderately often and I can’t wait until my nephews are old enough to articulate it.
B
^dang
A
No lie, eactly how I say it
–
why is damn considered as a swear word?
S
The suggestion that god would damn anything is taking the lord’s name in vain even though he definitely dammed plenty in his own story
G
Damn, thank God I’m an atheist then
M
… look at this guy. Capital G over here.
J
Harry Potter is a literary character too, still gets capitalized because it is his name.
P
God is such a shitty name for a character through. Can you imagine if Harry Potter was called *Person* instead?
C
His name is Wizard, actually.
G
Yer a Harry, Wizzard.
N
It’s my hormones!
G
Saying El or Yahweh would indirectly acknowledge that other gods exist, though
N
It is like our planet being named Earth. The name of our planet is dirt?
D
And it isn’t even mostly dirt. Really the planet should be named Water…
M
I mean. That’s the surface. Should be called Iron.
D
God isn’t his name though
S
I think the Christian’s god’s name is Yahweh.
M
We like to say thank fuck in our household.
G
God damn you athletes.
J
Lmfao this comment made me laugh way more than it should have thank you kind stranger
F
OH.. YOUR.. GOD!
T
Its funny because saying God or Damn it, is just some rando nonsense some puritans came up with. The real deal was people using God’s name to do evil stuff, like the american christians are doing.
J
The best (worst) example of taking the Lord’s name in vain is claiming religious justification for the selfish (or worse) shit you want to do. That’s why the commandment is “ranked” so highly; people who rhetorically say shit like “goddamn that chick’s ass is like the second coming, Jesus Christ” are almost certainly sinning in some way but not really in extreme violation of that particular Commandment, in my understanding.
A
Exactly this. It was really about misusing God’s word or authority for personal gain (ie. megachurch grifters getting rich off the backs of gullible people and justifying it as a ‘doing God’s work’). That is the real sin. The puritan interpretation, “Don’t curse”, makes “God” seem petty and egotistical. Ironically, pretty much all organized religion has its basis in breaking this commandment. Whether it’s the priest, the pastor, or the minister, they’re presenting their own (or their denomination’s) interpretation of scripture as if it was the word of God. That’s a direct violation of that commandment.
T
My impression was that you are commanding god to “damn” some-one/thing which is bad because only god has the authority to make that judgement. So not a contradiction on its own, but I agree there are plenty of contradictions in what is or isn’t considered damned/damnable.
C
But damn comes from Latin ‘damnare’ meaning to condemn or inflict loss… So I mean it’s more like a pagan word than anything Christian.
B
99% of christian “traditions” and culture are taking pagan/regional beliefs and applying Jesus paint on them.
B
Why do you think it’s called “cursing” or “swearing”? It comes from the idea that you are invoking a deity to do something. In this case, asking God to damn something.
–
huh, it makes more sense now
E
LOL that phrase got embedded into language so much, that I didn’t ever think what it actually means until reading your comment.
M
And then there’s “goodbye”, which originated as “god be with ye” until people got too lazy to say all the bits
