It turns out we don't say poopgoblin enough...

@Kyeh my favorite is gobshite

@Cerridwyn That’s from the Brits, isn’t it?

@Kyeh ayep

Fekking gobshite

Actually means shit eater

@Cerridwyn @Kyeh I’ve got an Irish wife. I normally get fekking egit

@Kyeh It’s a visual metaphore:

@macromeh Okay, I still hate it.

@Cerridwyn @Kyeh The Englishman said your translation is too literal. A gobshite is a shit-talker, mouthy wanker, someone who can’t hold their bloody tongue. It’s a great word though. We use that amongst other British slang on the daily. I’ll have to make another comment with a few of our favourite things.

@Kyeh @sillyheathen yeah I’m sure it is. First time I saw it years and years ago I think I looked it up. And you know it starts somewhere

@Kyeh @macromeh OMG that visual brings back memories. When I was teaching entrepreneurship the students had to actually make a product to sell and profits went to a charity they picked (and they had to put some volunteer work in at that charity too which amazingly one student on the course evals wrote about how doing that changed his life and how. Blew me away/). I fronted the start up costs at $500/group as a loan and always go it back until the dean decided to get involved (strategically I invited him to the class where the students recounted what went on, what they learned from it, why they picked their charity, and the money was personally given to each charity at that class), so he fronted the and then instead of repaying the money he had the money to each group’s charity too. Students picked the charity- usually $2-3,000 per group was donated, usually 4-6 groups of 10 each and the groups got extra credit points based on profits.

Anyway one group (they were supposed to run what they were going to make to sell through me and they did to make sure it was PG rated. And they lied.) made a t-shirt like this for a football grudge match. I was worried I’d get in trouble when I saw it that day and then, I knew I was safe when I saw it on both my dean and the university president were wearing one. They were selling it just outside the entrance to the football game. They ran out of shirts they did so well.

My (American) family spent 6 years in New Zealand. My older sister was a teenager at the time and picked up some of the local slang. One of these was “Shag your fanny” which she innocently took to mean something like “Move your butt” and used it frequently. She was quite embarrassed years later when I explained the actual meaning.

@macromeh ummmm yeah…… that would be quite the reveal. It would be even better if she kept using it in jest.
