Oh people say the traditional insult as well, but it's a different connotation--maybe even a different generation.
There's, "Don't mess with me, B--!" and then there's "I was chillin' with my biatches..." The second isn't really a refinement. It's not like your aunty saying "Oh sh-suger!" It's more an attempt to be hip. There are lots of suburban kiddies trying to be from the hood. It's a thing.

i think most of the time now it's suburban kiddies poking fun at the kiddies trying to be from the hood.
No doubt, AAS. Kids these days...
Speaking of which, Happy Mothers Day to all the bot masters who are moms in RL. [Imagine rose here(please pretend I took the time to make a little rose out of parantheses)].

Happy Mother's Day everybody!
The point I was making before was that I can't anticipate every typo or creative spelling instance like "BIACK." (They could have just as easily be saying my bot was "black.") Curiously, the same person also called my bot a "satian wener." You figure that one out!

i think "satian wener" was probably intended to mean sthg like "satan's dick". is that what you were thinking?

Montag i agree with that... and here in Washington State, they use That talk as well.... slang and swearing is rampant wherever you go. Sad as it is...
The problem is people spend too much time learning to swear in modern terms and forget that they should learn how to spell too.

But Jazake, learning to swear is so much more fun.
I'll admit that I've learned more swear words in other languages than useful phrases. Back when I went to school, second languages were not required in my high school. I took 2 months a Spanish, and a bit more German later on, but I never spent much time on new grammar or memorizing gender for words. However, for some reason I learned how to insult people in both languages. It's not that I use the words, I just wanted to know them.
I once ran across a publication called "Maldictica" that studied bad language. Not improper grammar or slang as such, but more a comparison of what makes bad words bad. For example, in some cultures, the worst insults involve body parts, and in others to really make your enemies you must invoke dead ancestors. I'm not sure why I find that so interesting, but I do.

Anyone ever learn one language and forget another? After 2 semesters of Italian, my Spanish is almost entirely gone.
Bev, sounds interesting, I don't suppose you'd have a link? And profanity isn't the only thing that varies between cultures- I don't remember what language it was, but I read somewhere that in some language, their "I love you" is literally translated "You have penetrated my liver." Apparently they thought the liver (a lot like the heart in Western culture) was the source of emotions. Neat trivia fact there.
