Balderdash!  Sanrio knows no borders!

Sanrio sounds like a breakfast cereal to me.

Come on.  They don't really say "balderdash" in the US, do they?  Do they also say "poppycock"?  Or were you pulling my pendulum?

I've just noticed that after all these posts on this thread, no-one's yet said "bollocks".  Not even that uncouth ruffian, Ottersswim.   Quite an achievement, I feel.

*I* say balderdash.  And dagnabbit, I use that one a lot. Fooey, hogwash, all of those.  Because I own a grey parrot, and he already says my muffled curses, I don't need him to hear the real ones that want to fall from my lips far too often.

I can't say "Bollocks", it just makes me think of Sid Vicious.

The term for a particularly unfortunate shot whilst playing pool and hitting the black, I believe.

LOL!  I thought they only said that in Warner Bros cartoons!

Oh, I've got to cross the pond.  I'd never stop laughing!

People often laugh at the things I say. I have decided to accept their laughter as complimentary.

As indeed you should, Lady H. 

What does "dagnabbit" mean, actually?

No clue, I picked it up in my childhood, probably from some racist Warner Bros cartoon!  Or the Beverly Hillbillies, an equally likely thing.

Reminds me: I invented an insult once.  A Jamaican guy - drunk, out of his head on something, who knows - saw me walking by late at night.  He started shouting "battyboy" at me.  Now, I don't care that he thought I was gay.  I only care about that if the person thinking I'm gay happens to be a woman with whom I'd like to become more closely acquainted. 

I did care, though, that he was insulting me with a word that he thought I didn't understand.  So I thought I'd give him a dose of his own.  I bellowed out "hompfyflompf!!" at him, and even made up a weird fist-rolling gesture to go with it. 

He went apeshit.  Too out of his head to chase me, though.  One day I'll think of a meaning for that word 'hompfyflompf".  Sounds good, though, even without a meaning.

Dictionary.com agrees with you.  Wikipedia is silent...  though it did take me over to the "profanity" article".

Your preferences are your own, but of course "asshole" is not a four-letter word.

I'd like a general reaction to an email conversation I had with a sub male. Despite his above-average command of the English language, his emails were peppered with unnecessarily salty language - his favorite being '8sshole'.  I diplomatically suggested that emails were always easier to read when they contained something other than 4 letter words.

I'd like a general reaction to an email conversation I had with a sub male. Despite his above-average command of the English language, his emails were peppered with unnecessarily salty language - his favorite being '8sshole'.  I diplomatically suggested that emails were always easier to read when they contained something other than 4 letter words. His response follows below:

....Unfortunately You will see those words in the mails i send You. Hell, they're coming from me, and what a big one i am lol - a, stubborn as one as well. Heck, modesty is not for Dominant Woman like Yourself ....
 
Have basic courtesies died an ugly death ?
 
Ladies, what think you? Guys - your insight is valuable also but I'm not asking you to rat on your own gender ;)



MsFlutter, I believe that the answer to this is both multifaceted as well as more complex than a casual glance would clear up because it deals with several levels of questions. The first is obviously, What kind of a submissive person would tell a potential Dom he is opening contact with what basically amounts to, "this is who I am and I am not about to change?"

The second question is sort of the other side of the coin: Could it simply be that you two aren't a match and that his initial answer to you was just him being honest? In either case, it would seem to me that you should certainly consider disqualifying such a person from your search. I have "fantasies" of submission, but am not certain I could ever live it as a lifestyle, but let me be clear about something. If I were looking for a Goddess to control me I would certainly want to be a lot more amenable to change, and if not drastic changes at the beginning of our interaction, certainly I would take a woman's suggestions about my demeanor and/or language idiosyncrasies a lot more serious than such casual dismissal.

To further complicate things, there is a widespread and unfortunate propensity for Internet chats, emails, and message-board posts to degenerate into what I like to call Internet geeky-shorthand. While I can read it, I dislike it intensely, but that is my own personal tastse. If you do as well, perhaps you can use this as one of your yardsticks to evaluate someone to chat with or even a potential partner in the very early stages. Let's use me as an example. Pretend that I started corresponding with you and our intention was to see what happens and see where it goes. Let's also assume that I am into l33t or other Internet geek-speech and this bothers you to the point that you ae wondering about my intelligence or ability to communicate outside this modality. You could then ask me, as a DOMINANT woman, in as nice or demanding way as fits your own personal style, to type in more standard English. You could even see this as a test I needed to pass in order to even BE CONSIDERED to be on your list, forget about actual dating or meeting off-line.

If I then come back with a willingness to change, and even a desire to have you help me (or prehaps train me?) then would this not be something that could endear me to you? If, on the other hand, I was glib, saying what that person said to you, then you could realize that I am simply not for you, wish me luck in my search, and move on to men who display more submissive qualities. 

While I do NOT know you at all, my only suggestion to you, based on your initial post at least, is just be more clear about what YOU WANT from a man and do not compromise those standards. Any man who wants to submit to your authority is going to have to have the ability, desire, and most of all WILLINGNESS to...well submit to your authority! Does it bode well for someone who displays a complete irreverence for your will at the very outset of your interaction?

Want another opinion? Email this guy and THANK HIM for showing you honestly who he really is and for not wasting your time. ;-)

Yes, language, respect, consideration have all decreased.  And this is society in general.

greetings to all,

Master forbids foul language, in any and all cases (which used to be very hard for me, because I would swear like a trooper).  I've found that all it takes to obey is having habitual behaviours trained into you (or, if you are by yourself, following a certain set of rules that you make up) and a bit of forethought.

I have come to dislike swearing in any submissive I consider for my attention (or that I am beginning to form serious relations with) as well.  It reflects very badly on me.

well wishes,

(in reply to Politesub53)

I have varied my attitude toward profanity a lot over the years.  I used to swear like a sailor when I was younger, but over the last few years I've toned it down somewhat, especially when dealing with people who don't know me.  Foul language is often very strong:  like make-up and perfume, it's wise to use it sparingly for emphasis, not to slather it on.
