Jake. Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Why are you still arguing about this holy f**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I really. Really. Really. Really. Really. Really. Really. Really. Really. Really. f**king hate Christmas. I'm not religious. I don't give a shit about religion. None of my family are religious. I hate everyone, especially my family so I have no interest in spending time with them. What I want to do is just carry on with my normal life. However; all of my friends are celebrating Christmas shit. Prawns in Plymouth, can't see him. Girlfriends out with her family doing Christmas shit. Cant see her. My dad's a fanny. My sister's a wanker. My parents insist on watching Christmas films and trying to get me involved. It gives people at work a reason to not actually do their f**king job, and generally take the piss. Because it's Christmas. The weather is shit. The jet wash is shut so I can't go and clean my car. Shops are shut so I can't spend money. eBay prices are through the roof so it doesn't make sense to buy online. What's the point in it? To make up for the fact that you are never nice to your family? To buy presents to show your appreciation for people? How fickle. I just hate it. Pussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Why are you still arguing about this holy f**k. It doesn't look like we'll agree so posting is kind of pointless. My main reason for posting now is pretty much everytime I get called a retard or whatever for typing out something I think, I'm going to reply to explain how my thoughts aren't retarded but based on a logical thought process. If anything I think evidence of me not being a retard here is that I managed to post without resorting to petty insults and overly recycled memes while others did.

Mark W Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 You can fling your money out there to your hearts content online I guess? Couriers/mail orders seem to be increasing their Xmas opening hours year-on-year. You lose that instant gratification I suppose but at least it could be a light at the end of your tunnel sorry if I've overlooked another reason No duality of meaning. Pussy can and do argue that there's another meaning for Pussy. You can't do that with "f**king Hell". That incredibly clear distinction between the two is probably what's stressing Jolfa out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That incredibly clear distinction between the two is probably what's stressing Jolfa out The F*cking Hell beer's supposedly named after a town called F*cking though, despite not actually being brewed there. Like Pussy, it looks like they took the opportunity to exploit the double meaning thing and then when it was criticized they were able to say that they meant another meaning of the word, in their case the place, and were then allowed to continue to use the word to help their business.

Mark W Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I meant duality of meaning in a conversational/contextual sense too. To use the tired old "kid reading a can" thing, you can't tell me you wouldn't see a difference between a kid saying "Pussy" or "f**king Hell"? The former has other meanings in a conversation, the latter doesn't (except if you were specifically referencing the name of the product itself, obviously).

Pashley26 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Some people often ask me how I feel about reading. It's ok, but the parking is a nightmare. See what I did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I still internally pronounced that 'reading' as in the book rather than the place even though I knew the setup and punchline. Nice work, brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former has other meanings in a conversation, the latter doesn't (except if you were specifically referencing the name of the product itself, obviously). Agreed, f*ck is often more offensive than pussy and has less multiple meanings. I'm going to go back to the marketing gimmick though (), when I asked the question about whether a product using the word f*ck could be sold openly, apparently the answer is yes as long as another meaning can be provided when complaints come in. Because they've both been allowed purely on the basis that they've had, what I consider to be, irrelevant alternate meanings I think it's an obvious gimmick and that's the basis I don't think the names should be allowed to advertise so publicly.
