Difference between Polish Imperf. and Perf. forms "pierdolic" [58]
Yeah i see now, if you are not some place it will offend, i recommend checking that video link again on the previous page.
Us English have an incredible way of adapting and evolving our language beyond all recognition, and new words are regularly being added to our Dictionary because of it.
One of the more noted examples and one of the first to break certain rules about being a real word, is the word 'Yuppie' and is formed of the phrase "Young entrepreneur" or "young urban pioneer". This caused a lot of trouble a few years back as many high scholars didnt want it added to our language, but now it is a word in its own right.
More recently we have the young slang phrase "innit" (prn= "In-it"), which translated into old, proper english would be:
"is it not" and is used as a statement as well as a question:
"This is not the right place"
"Innit?"
or
"this food is rather delicious!"
"Innit!"
And it wont be long before it reaches the Oxford English Dictionary. (It amuses me actually, the Polish i know have trouble pronouncing it, probably because it is similar to your word for "different" = "Inna" which is a rare example of a double letter word in the Polish language it seems, and i believe you accentuate both N's separately, not as one like we do) so it sounds like "inininit" (he he).
Anyway, i digress. the word Fuck has evolved far beyond its original meaning here, i would say its because it is seen as a very extreme expression and a word that once got attention for its vulgar connotations (and yes, connotation and association are different for me too) so it has become forced into otherwise unrelated expressions and subjects in place of, perhaps, less extreme and quieter words:
"My head really hurts" = "my head hurts like FUCK"
"what on Earth is going on here?" = "what the fuck is going on here!"
"i'm going out" / "oh no you are not!" = "like fuck you are!"
to adapt the sentance we were discussing and to add sexual implication, i guess you could say it like this:
"If you shit on my path, i will f**k your a*** so hard you will cry!"
however, the context it was used in was more of a substitute for:
"I would really rather prefer it if you did not do that on my path, thank you, or I may have to resort to physical violence"
As you can see, using a vulgar expression like 'fuck' saves you a lot of writing/speaking, grabs attention and stops you sounding like some kind of posh, patronising head-teacher.
Hope that helps a little. I must admit my only qualification for teaching English is i speak it.... roughly.... innit...
