one of the weirdest ways that language is evolving in response to the internet is that “bad words” just. do not have the same impact anymore. i constantly forget that some people think ‘fuck you’ is a terrible insult

so threats and insults have to start getting really out there if the person wants to even mean anything. if a person told me to die i’d shrug it off but if i opened a post’s tags and saw “op i will sneak into your house and replace all your shoelaces with cooked pasta” do you know how shaken i’d be? do you know how upset i’d be if i saw “op is the personification of the look you share w other people in the grocery store when some dude is causing A Scene™

for no reason”

So you are saying English curses on the Internet are becoming more like Yiddish curses?

I sincerely hope so but I can’t say I’m familiar with yiddish curses and i am begging you to tell me a few

yiddish curses: 

may you go to hell and bake bagels there 

may all your teeth fall out except one, and in that one you should get a tooth ache

One misfortune is too few for you

you should drink too much castor oil (and have explosive diarrhea); 

you should have a hundred houses  in every house a hundred rooms and in every room twenty beds, and a delirious fever should drive you from bed to bed

you should be transformed into a chandelier, to hang by day and to burn by night

Hang yourself with a sugar rope and you’ll have a sweet death.
