two new phrases
i was random reading on the web when i stumbled upon several interesting stuff.
1. Minced oath.sounds like some.. food.
lol but anyway. that really isint.
to quote wiki"A minced oath (also pseudo-profanity) is an expression based on a profanity that has been altered to reduce the objectionable characteristics of the original expression"
like basically how ppl wld use dam or dang instead of damn.
oohehe
2. Kusowell. Kuso, referring to the internet culture that is largely prevalent in (East) Asia,
esp that of Taiwan, Hk, china.
genrally derived from the Japanese word Kuso, which literally meant shit.
first found from kuso-ge, which was something like trash games that were unintentionally comical.
and then sound it became derived to anything thats trashy and outrageous funny.
now becoming something to the equivalent of parody and online trashtalk entertainment culture.
how fun.
