learning to swear is so much more fun.
Ain't that the truth. I pride myself on being able to get arrested or stabbed almost anywhere on the planet in under 60 seconds (a purely theoretical ability, I hasten to add!)
http://www.notam02.no/%7Ehcholm/altlang/ and http://www.insultmonger.com/ are the ultimate resources - highly recommended.
in some language, their "I love you" is literally translated "You have penetrated my liver."
Moroccan Berbers say that, and I assume the idiom is widespread across North Africa. It's logical enough in a society that has more to do with entrails generally - the liver's a much sexier organ than the heart (which is a rather uninteresting lump of muscular haggis filling once it's cleaned up and displayed in a butcher's window.)
erm. its not mothers day people..
It is in America. We have ours in March, but they just have to be awkward - and it gives the greetings card companies a chance to recycle the unsold cards

In what way could a liver possibly be considered sexy?

Haven't you ever prepared a nice fresh bit of liver? It's positively pornographic stuff! It's almost a shame to have to cook it.
Engorged, firm yet softly yielding, vital - it even smells of sex! The adjectives and similes that spring to mind are numerous (but I'd probably better stop there on grounds of public decency
)
It's a far more intimate organ than the heart - that's probably why Hannibal Lecter liked it so much. Hold the fava beans, but a nice chianti sounds a very suitable accompaniment

Montag: I think that you are probably correct about the literal translation of "satian wener," but even if you are, I still have no idea what it's supposed to mean! It can't be good, of course, but I've never heard people talk like that! Who knows...

Mr. Gorf
okay, here's what it's supposed to mean, presumably:
"(to suck) satan's cock"
"describes a person with no self-respect or dignity (particularly sellouts); [synonymous] with selling your soul to Satan."
Source: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=suck+Satan's+cock&r=f
Incidentally, the French often refer to food or animals in their profanities, usually by describing ppl in terms of a type of food or animal.

I haven't seen the publication since 1989, but after a google search I found I misspelled it. Try http://www.maledicta.org, but be careful not to get the satanists by mistake.

Since I am an vegetarian, I have to say raw meat just doesn't do it for me. I cook it for my parents, but I don't think of the meat as anytihng more than something my parents want to eat.
I remember a movie a while back where it was suppossed to be sexy for this guy to take a live sea critter of some sort (I want to say it was a shrimp or crab) and trap in in a gass on a naked lady's skin so it would tickle her as it flopped to death. It looked hot in the movie because the lady was good looking. I think if you put enough beautiful people anywhere you can make anything seem sexy.

hmm. Being the happy custodian of a rather splendid pet lobster (called Clarence,) I have to say I wouldn't want anything with claws that big near me when it was agitated. The spasmodic death-throes of a crab sound positively dangerous - as well as potentially extremely embarassing to explain down at the hospital! One for masochists only, I think 
re: liver - anyone read Portnoy's Complaint recently enough to confirm whether that was the book I dimly recall depicting a rather amusing (thoroughly gross, but amusing,) erotic encounter with a piece of liver? I'm fairly sure it was Philip Roth, but I haven't read any of his books for probably 20 years now.

Bev: I may not be a vegetarian, but I still look at raw meat and think "dead animal". I don't see anything attractive about this. It was alive. Now it's dead, and I'm going to cook it and eat it.
