more ways to F**K YOU.
pardon the crude title. i have just been reading my Professional Writing subject reader. it's a compilation of newspaper, magazine and online articles and relevant material. This chapter contains mainly Personal Narrative Artticles (PNA), where writers, through their own experiences and stories relate to readers and bring forth a message, usually of universal emotions and issues close to our hearts, such as kindness, the joys of parenthood, love, self esteem, coping with loss, death, etc.
They are all sooo interesting and enticing i can't stop reading. see, i love school and i love homework! hahaha. there were a few really good pieces which i liked alot. "Gray like me" is a piece about this 29 yr old writer who walked around Boston and NY in a grey wig, and how this changed people's perception and treatment of her, and how differently she felt and hence behaved. also, the writer's style is humorous, tongue-in-cheek, light-hearted, much like the way i wish i could write.
anyway what i really wanted to say, is to tell you "if you really want to curse someone properly, do it in Yiddish." (Arnold Zable "From a Schlimiel to a Schlimazel", The Age Newspaper) hahaha.
Here are some examples (translated into English) for you to draw inspiration from. so forget 'F**K YOU' and try these instead:
1. may an umbrella enter your stomach and open up.
2. I hope you lose all your teeth, but one tooth should remain so you can have a toothache.
3. May you be like a chandelier, hanging by day and burning by night.
4. May you be like an onion, with your head in the ground and your feet in the air.
5. May an entire orchestra enter your stomach and i'll be the conductor.
6. May your feet be made of wood, your stomach contain water and your head be made of glass. so when your feet catches fire, your stomach will boil and your head will explode.
listed are 4 of the thousand available Yiddish options for 'loser'.
7. schlimiel (a clumsy person, a social misfit)
8. nebekh (a nobody, a complete nonentity)
9. nudnik (a complete bore, a pest, a source of intense irritation)
10. phudnik (a nudnik with a PhD)
hahahaha. so many curse words/phrases, you'll be spoilt for choice!
